These processors are the most powerful DSPs available delivering over twice the performance of the DSPs used in our previous generation products. Two 1.25 GHz, floating-point “Keystone” Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) comprise the main audio engine*. Continuing the legacy of this philosophy the Axe-Fx III harnesses the power of no fewer than four separate processors. The Axe-Fx II expanded on this concept by putting two of those same DSPs to work. Leveraging the power of this DSP allowed detail and realism that no other product had previously achieved. Careful grounding and component layout along with physically separating and shielding high gain stages from one another is all part of GOOD analog circuit design.The original Axe-Fx upended the industry by being the first device for musicians to put a military/industrial-grade DSP into a consumer product. That console is part of my keyboard rig and I want the signal getting to my D/A stages to be as close as possible to what is coming from the synths.Ĭrosstalk is one of the enemies I do all possible to avoid in my own equipment designs too. I recently modded my Yamaha console to reduce the crosstalk even though it was already pretty low. That's why we hated it so much! I still do whatever I can to avoid it. It is typically a LOT higher approaching 10KHz and beyond and that KILLS stereo imaging and clarity. Manufacturers often quoted crosstalk figures for their products at 1KHz because it was usually lowest at that frequency and it made their products seem better on paper to the technically less literate. and crosstalk is non uniform over the frequency spectrum too. Sure, they saw a possibility of adding mumbo jumbo and that's shady, but it's being added in the plugin because the modelated console has it I think that crosstalk being used as a marketing feat is something circumstantial. As many have spotted, quite rightly, in this here thread, it is simply random, uncontrolled, unmusical noise. Not unless the console is completely circular so 1 in right next to 48.ģ. Crosstalk doesn't somehow magically occur between say channel 1 and channel 48 in a board. Crosstalk only occurs between adjacent channels in an analog console.
These days it is touted as some kinda secret sauce that will bring highly desirable analog characteristics to all and sundry in the digital realm. Every console manufacturer, and I do mean every single one of 'em, strove to minimize crosstalk in their products. "crosstalk" is a marketing term used by software manufacturers to sell their products to uninformed and/or gullible customers.ġ.
