MultiRack SoundGrid offers remote parameter control and navigation over MIDI, or over an inter-application API by integration with the console’s host application. A Rack processes audio from a user-selected input and sends the processed output to a user-selected output. MultiRack SoundGrid displays rows of virtual plugin chains, named Racks, each of which chains up to eight Waves plugins.

SoundGrid audio processing, connections, system configuration, and monitoring are controlled by the MultiRack SoundGrid control application, which runs on Windows and Mac computers, including embedded systems. The FPGA also transfers control messages between control nodes external to the SoundGrid network and the SoundGrid control application. The FPGA receives I2S or other audio signal formats and converts them to the SoundGrid format. A Windows or Mac computer runs SoundGrid Host, the host application and user interface.Īudio interfaces with SoundGrid by integrating a SoundGrid-programmed FPGA ( Xilinx Spartan 3) into a mixing console’s I/O ports.One or more SoundGrid Server are dedicated to audio processing in a customized Linux OS optimized for audio processing.Separate computers provide SoundGrid processing:
Consequently, SoundGrid can run large numbers of plugins, as well as CPU-intensive plugins. Waves Audio says this provides "predictability, stability, and low latency" that was previously exclusive to dedicated DSP-based systems. Using native processing, SoundGrid runs on standard CPUs under an optimized Linux operating system (OS).
The I/O device converts SoundGrid packets to standard and proprietary audio protocols. It routes audio between networked I/O devices and processes it on plugin servers connected to the same network. SoundGrid is a proprietary Ethernet Layer 2 protocol and EtherType.
