Overview

The large studio offers playback over 12 Meyer loudspeakers.

Routing of in- and outputs is provided (digitally) by a SuperCollider based application, simply called the matrix, which is run on a dedicated computer system (also referred to as The Matrix).

A Mac-workstation computer offers access to some licensed and free software for audio production and digital signal processing. It is connected to the matrix by a MADI audio card, which offers 64 in- and outputs (respectively) for a sample rate of 44.1 or 48kHz and 32 in- and outputs (respectively) for 88.2 or 96kHz. A linux machine can also be used as workstation for mixing and spatialisation. Both workstations can be routed to the displays in the studio by using a HDMI-Switch.

External computers can interface the studio using an RME Fireface UFX. An RME Micstasy offers eight microphone preamps.

All hardware is clocked by a central wordclock in EN326 (i.e. all hardware uses the same sample rate).

Usage

Power-On

  1. Turn power key to 1
  2. Switch off Wordclock in EN326
  3. Switch on Matrix system for EN324
  4. Switch on Wordclock, when the boot sound of Matrix system is heard
  5. Switch on work station
  6. Switch on the HDMI Switch 324: MacPro -> OutA - In1, OutB - In2  ; Linux -> OutA - In3 (LED broken), OutB - In4 (both can be mixed)
  7. Switch on loudspeakers

Power-Off

  1. Switch off the loudspeakers
  2. Shut down work station (if applicable) and matrix (if applicable)
  3. Turn power key to 0
  4. Switch off the HDMI Switch 324

Change Sample Rate

  1. Power-On
  2. Change the sample rate in the wordclock menu called mode operation basic clock to the desired frequency
  3. Change sample rate for MADI MADI cards on the matrix
  4. Power-Off
  5. Power-On

Select MADI Workstation

You can use either the MacPro in the machine room or your own notebook as workstation device using an USB-MADI-Interface which can be rent from the studio. The MADI-Bridge services as routing device for the MADI-Inputs and outputs to and from the matrix. It provides eight MADI in/out streams, which can be managed using the up and down buttons besides the displays.

MacPro
  • Output 7 ← Input 4
  • Output 4 ← Input 7
USB-MADI
  • Output 7 ← Input 3
  • Output 3 ← Input 7
