E-MU VST E-Wire E-Wire is a special VST/ASIO Bridge which allows you to route digital audio via ASIO to PatchMix and back again. E-Wire VST incorporates smart time alignment technology that automatically compensates for system latencies and ensures proper synchronization of audio throughout the VST chain. In addition, E-Wire also allows you to insert outboard audio gear into the VST environment. E-Wire has three main components: • A VST plug-in which handles the audio routing to PatchMix DSP. • An ASIO mixer strip in PatchMix DSP configured to route audio to the E-Wire plug-in. You simply drop the effects you want to use into this strip. • For hosts that don't support automatic delay compensation, a manual delaycompensation plug-in can be inserted in Cubase tracks or channels that don't use E-Wire to compensate for ASIO delay. The diagram below may give you a better idea of how E-Wire works: E-Wire VST plug-in 5 - Effects E-MU VST E-Wire Note: It's easier to use E-MU PowerFX instead of E-Wire if you just want to use the hardware effects. (E-Wire was the precursor to E-MU PowerFX.) However, E-Wire can be quite useful in its own right because it allows you to route VST inserts or Sends to Physical Inputs and Outputs via PatchMix DSP. Send to Strip Return to VST Stereo Reverb ASIO Send PatchMix DSP Strip configured for E-Wire E-Wire bridges the gap between hardware I/O and the VST world. The E-Wire VST plug-in sends audio to a strip containing the desired effect. An ASIO Send routes the audio back to E-Wire VST. E-MU PCIe Digital Audio Systems 107
