Performing Basic Tuning

In Global Tuning Tool you can perfom basic tuning using Integrated Virtual Process (IVP). In the Integrated Virtual Process (IVP) allows you to make adjustments to various aspects of the audio configuration in the signal flow designer, such as audio object mapping, parameter settings, and virtual core configurations.

Steps to performing basic tuning with Integrated Virtual Process (IVP):

1. Launch the Global Tuning Tool application.
2. Navigate to the Sample Project tab and click on the AWXExampleProject.
   
   This will open the Device Designer window and display example project details.
   This example project contains a single win64 core with one instance of audio processing (xAF Instance). It has 2 inputs and 8 outputs.
   
3. Double-click on the Xaf Instance to open the Signal Flow Designer window.
   
4. Navigate to the IVP RTA tab to configure the device file and input/output settings.
5. On the IVP RTA tab, click on Advanced Settings, under the Plugins tab, browse the xAFVirtualAmp64.dll file available in C:Program FilesHarmanHarmanAudioworXAudioFrameworkDLLs folder, and click Apply to save the plugin configuration.
   
6. Go to the Device Designer tab, click on Export > Device Template, and save the device configuration as a “.flash” file in the C:Program FilesHarmanHarmanAudioworXAudioFrameworkDLLs folder.
   This will save the layout of the device (single core with 2 inputs and 8 outputs) which helps the virtual amplifier to configure itself.
   
7. Click on Send Device Config to send the changes to the device. Due to these changes, the device will go offline.
   GTT will display a message “Device will go Offline. Manual Reboot of the device is required”.
   
8. Go to the IVP RTA tab and click on Reboot. Once the device is rebooted, GTT will display the message “Plugin Host has been rebooted”.Now you need to configure the input and output settings.
9. Open the Advanced Settings, go to the Routing tab, and under plugin host set Generator1 as input 1 and Generator2 as input 2.
   
10. Similarly, go to the Analyzer tab, under source set Generator1 as input and PlugingHost1 as output, and click Apply to save the settings.
    
11. The above settings indicate that you are using the Generator as input to the signal flow and output is displayed on the analyzer. You can also use sound card input by selecting “SoundIn1 or SoundIn2”.
    Similarly, you can route the output to the sound card by choosing the Sound Out to PluginHost.
    Click on Done to close the Advanced Settings window.
12. Click on the Design tab and click on Connect Device. This will open the Device Synchronization dialogue box.
    
13. On the Device Synchronization dialogue box, click on Send. Sending or receiving data is indicated by a progress window along with a percentage of completion of sending or receiving data. The progress bar will close automatically once the send / receive process is completed. The progress bar window title will be “Sending data” or “Receiving data” depending on your selected functionality.
    
14. Go to RTA, click on Generator, Analyzer, and PluginHost to generate input and output signals.
    
15. On the graph, the first section displays the 1^st channel of the input signal from the generator, and the second section displays the 1^st channel of output from the signal flow. You can choose to display multiple channels by configuring the Analyzer in IVP.
