What is the true purpose of the ESBTDM?

The Emagic System Bridge TDM is the ideal link between the DSP world of your TDM system and your computer’s native CPU processing. The ESB TDM makes use of the previously un-exploited resources of your computer by allowing native audio tracks, Logic Audio and VST plug-ins and Audio Instruments to be routed into Logic Audio’s TDM mixer. In addition, the ESB TDM extends the functionality of your EXS24, making it the EXS24 TDM, which can be used directly in the Aux channels of Logic Audio Platinum’s TDM mixer.

Direct TDM

Logic Audio Platinum’s Multiple Hardware Support, in conjunction with the ESB TDM, provides an additional audio engine running in parallel with DAE/TDM: Direct TDM. As a fully-featured audio engine, Direct TDM offers all of the possibilities that native processing has to offer: up to 64 audio tracks, over 40 built-in high-quality Emagic plug-ins, the use of VST effects and integration of Emagic’s ES1, ES2 and EVP88 or third-party VST 2.0 compatible Audio Instruments. The ESB TDM provides up to eight discrete outputs from the native audio engine, which can be streamed into Logic Audio’s TDM mixer – all within the computer, ensuring that your audio quality remains pristine.
