The Soundcraft Vi6 digital mixing console.
UK - Soundcraft's release of the Processing Card for the Soundcraft Vi6 adds "powerful industry-standard Lexicon effects and BSS Audio equalisation to this exceptional digital console", the company says. The card uses eight custom Lexicon DSP engines to provide eight mono or stereo effects units which may be patched to aux bus outputs and then back into a channel input, or inserted into input or output channels. The real flexibility comes from having control of these effects on the Vistonics II graphical screens so giving the engineer a comfortable and simple user interface, for which the Soundcraft Vi6 has already been highly praised.

The Lexicon devices give a choice of 14 types of reverb, including various plates, halls and spring types, seven delay settings (for example ping-pong and tape delays) plus eight other effects such as Chorus, Flanger, Tremelo and Pitch shift. Once selected, the parameter controls appear on the rotary encoders on the Vistonics II screen.

The new card also provides a 30-band graphic EQ on every output (35 outputs), controlled by the first 30 channel faders once the output graphic EQ icon is pressed. The Soundcraft FaderGlow system now changes the faders to red (the same colour as the channel EQ on Vistonics II), and each fader now controls one of the 30 frequencies, which are shown in the channel label display. A composite EQ curve is generated and displayed on the Vistonics screen for that output.

This is the only digital console available integrated with these processing devices, say Soundcraft.
