Developed with seventh generation FPGA devices, DiGiCo has expanded the audio processing power of its SD7 mixing console with Mustard – a new set of algorithms and options for channel strip processing for Quantum 7 that offer enhanced flexibility and choice when extra control and creative adjustment is needed within a mix.

The Mustard channel can be used in conjunction with the standard SD processing to add preamp, filters, EQ, gate and a selection of compressor types to any existing channel strip. Mustard Tube options include a fully controllable Pre-Amp Modeller which gives you access to every aspect of front-end drive, while the Mustard Dynamics include vintage VCA and optical compressor types that emulate some of the best-known devices available.

Additionally, Spice Rack delivers new processors that can be freely inserted on any channel type in any position. Controlled from the Master screen and its worksurface controls, first in the Spice Rack is a six-band compressor which includes two floating bands and allows detailed control of envelope shaping for definable frequency bands.

‘The beauty of having the most advanced FPGA’s at the heart of our consoles is that it allows us to continually unlock new functionality,’ says DiGiCo Head of Software, Roger Wood. ‘Both Mustard and the Spice Rack take the SD7 Quantum to a completely new level, not only opening up a new world of creativity for our users but assuring them that their investment will continue to deliver a return for many years to come.’
