* E-DSP Hardware-accelerated Effects, Mixing and Monitoring:
E-MU's Laptop Digital Audio Systems feature the powerful E-DSP chipset,
which features a hardware-accelerated effects processor with over 28
effects plug-ins (over 600 presets). This effects architecture is fully
expandable, allowing you to add more effect plug-ins to your system as
needed. E-DSP also provides zero-latency, hardware-based mixing and
monitoring via the included PatchMix DSP mixer, delivering unmatched
flexibility in routing audio between all of your physical and virtual
(ASIO/WDM) inputs and outputs- no external mixer needed.
