Getting Started.

The Z-DSP itself contains no programs, it loads

programs from a cartridge. If the module is powered

up without a cartridge inserted it will show

“insert cartridge” on the display

The module is sold with the Dragonfly Delay cartridge,

which contains 8 delay programs. Pull it out of the

bag now and insert it slowly to the card slot on the

front of the Z-DSP, making sure that the Dragonfly

print is facing upward. Note: Inserting the card upside

down will not cause any damage, but the card will not

work.

After a moment, the Z-DSP will load the program found

in memory slot 1 on the cartridge. Some cartridges will

display a message when first inserted. For example, the

Dragonfly Delay will first show the name and author of

the algorithms, then show a reminder that audio needs

to be connected to both inputs to achieve a stereo

effect. Note: A Tiptop Stack Cable is ideal for bridging

inputs!

The cards can be inserted and removed at any time,

even during audio processing. Pulling the card out at

this point will keep the current program loaded and the

display will again show "insert cartridge". Now that we

have a program loaded into the processor, let’s have a

look at the Z-DSP signal flow.
