Windows XP/2000 Virtual Sound System Software
SoundMan-Server

SoundMan-Server is a Virtual Sound System (VSS) API which configures and programs in real time with almost unlimited capabilities. It replaces most traditional audio system components and license cost is directly proportional to the scope of the application. The basic configuration is free.
Download SoundMan-Server
Windows XP recommended for optimum operation. Without a license dongle this runs in Free/Demo mode which provides two live inputs, two outputs and four playbacks. Note that we do not currently recommend Windows XP Service Pack 3.

IMPORTANT: REQUIRES a processor with MMX and SSE instruction sets! Also required for licensed operation are ASIO audio interfaces connected to the computer with a sufficient number of inputs and outputs. ASIO4ALL drivers are sufficient for this purpose.

Recommended computer setup

Download DongleStuffer - use this utility to update your support and/or upgrade your SoundMan-Server license without getting a new dongle using files we will email to you.

We recommend the FreeZip compression utility (not FreeZip!)

SM-Designer

Free Theatre Sound Design & Show Control Windows GUI for SoundMan-Server Virtual Sound System Software. Show controller, sequencer, multichannel programmable live audio processor & matrix with audio playback. Programs, runs and manages any number of shows, audio selections and projects. Imports all AB1616 and 1616HD AudioBox shows and is functionally equivalent to the model AB1616 AudioBox when used with a licensed 16x16+32x16 SoundMan-Server or greater.

When used with this licensed software, SM-Designer has 16 live audio inputs, 16 outputs and 16 playback tracks. The demo/free/offline version has two live audio inputs, two outputs and four real playbacks while all other channels are in an emulation mode that accurately emulates a full size licensed system but outputs no audio.

Download SM-Designer NOTE: If you just want SoundMan-Server, do NOT install this software!
Windows XP recommended for optimum operation.

IMPORTANT: SM-Designer REQUIRES a processor with MMX and SSE instruction sets! Also required for fully licensed operation are at least 16 ASIO audio inputs and 16 ASIO audio outputs. At least 2 ASIO audio inputs and 2 ASIO audio outputs are required for demo/free operation - ASIO4ALL drivers are sufficient for this purpose. Installation must be done by an administrator but any user can run the program.
SM-Designer includes three software modules which are installed by the installer: SM-Designer (a GUI similar to ABEdit), SM-Assistant (a show controller), and a standard version of SoundMan-Server.

If you want to update to the latest versions of SM-Assistant and SoundMan-Server, download them using the links below:
Download the latest SoundMan-Server
Download the latest SM-Assistant

Then unzip them and manually replace the executable files called SoundMan-Assistant.exe and SoundMan-Server.exe which are normally installed in
C:\Program Files\RSD\SoundMan-Designer

Windows XP/2000 Show Control Software

ShowMan

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: This version REQUIRES a dongle for licensed operation! Please contact RSD for further information.
Windows XP recommended for optimum operation.

IMPORTANT: Shows created or edited with this version are NOT BACKWARD COMPATIBLE with some much earlier versions.
This will not affect shows using only the show default MIDI port, but it will require reprogramming shows made on an older version using multiple MIDI ports.
Therefore, it is important to MAKE A BACKUP OF THE CURRENT SHOW before upgrading to this version of ShowMan.

We advise you always to use the latest posted version of ShowMan.
Download ShowMan with Demonstration License File
Unpack this, run ShowManSetup.exe and enjoy for up to one half hour at a time until it expires three months after creation (see above) or email us for a demo version for your own use.
Includes E-Show device configuration settings and demo Show with Scarlatti Sonatas to show how precise cue timing is during sequence playback.

Free Windows XP/2000 Software for AudioBox

Download ABEdit

ABEdit is now technically obsolete for the AB64 although it still allows the use of an older version of firmware. For the older Model 1616HD and AB1616 it will program all AudioBox functions including Onboard Shows and load Audio & Show files into your AudioBox and manage Projects. Users of 1616HD and AB1616 units should upgrade to SM-Designer to avoid problems with SCSI which are being caused by the lack of support for SCSI processor devices by Microsoft operating systems.
Requires AudioBox Firmware A439 (Model AB64), V694 (Model 1616HD), or T275 (Model AB1616). Includes AB64 firmware V439. To use the AB64 with firmware above A439, use HFI's ABShowMaker software for the Mac.
