"XCVI Core" Clarification

Hi Nicola,

Well done to you and the team you have certainly set the world a Buzz once again and taken a march on the competition by the looks of things.

I have a quick question regarding the XCVI FPGA core in the documentation it is referred to as being 160x64 processing with a maximum of 128 input channels, and wanted to confirm that the 160 is made up of the 128 inputs + 16 stereo FX channels being doubled to 32.

I know it may seem obvious but in “ILive” terminology you always used to say the Mix engine was 64x32 and 8 FX giving a total of 72 input channels in single rack mode not 8 FX doubled to 16 giving a total of 80 inputs

Have you changed the way you calculate and advertise the channel count or am I missing something.

Its very minor and neither here nor there but when doing comparisons it helps to keep the methodology consistent.

Again well done.

Thanks Doug!

Yes 160 results from 128 + 16 stereo FX returns, it’s the count of all input signals being mixed.
Whereas maximum number of ‘sources to the mix’ would be 128 + 16 = 144. Which compares to the 72 in iLive.
