SoundMan-Server is a Virtual Sound System (VSS) Audio Engine API software 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.
The download contains the main SoundMan suite of software. Without
a license
dongle this runs in Free/Demo mode which provides two live inputs, two outputs
and four playbacks.
IMPORTANT: REQUIRES a processor with MMX and SSE instruction sets! Requires
SoundMan-Monitor which must be downloaded below and installed in the
same folder.
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.

SoundMan-Monitor captures the combined log messages from both SoundMan-Server
and SoundMan-Assistant.
Free SoundMan-Assistant Software
SoundMan-Assistant is automatically installed by the extended SoundMan
Installer (see
SoundMan-Server above). To run SoundMan-Assistant, add a shortcut
in the startup folder. SoundMan-Assistant is only used with SoundMan-Designer
or ABShowMaker for Macintosh.
SoundMan-Assistant may be run on a separate
computer that is networked with ABShowMaker and/or SoundMan-Designer
computers. Always put SoundMan-Monitor.exe and DbgHelp.dll in the folder that
contains SoundMan-Assistant.
The license dongle or temporary license dongle file should be installed in the
SoundMan-Server computer. If the SoundMan-Server computer is not present in the
network, the license dongle or temporary license dongle file can be installed
in the SoundMan-Assistant computer. In
the latter case the 'hostname' field in the SoundMan-Assistant configuration
must be set to 'localhost'.
SoundMan-Assistant should be running before ABShowMaker and/or
SoundMan-Designer are started.
If SoundMan-Assistant and SoundMan-Server are installed on the same computer,
SoundMan-Assistant will start SoundMan-Server if it is not already running.
ABShowMaker, SoundMan-Designer, SoundMan-Assistant and SoundMan-Server will
all find each other and automatically connect as long as the computers are all
in the same subdomain and the applications are unblocked in the firewall.
NOTES: SoundMan-Assistant supports V4 & V5 shows up to 8 lists; does NOT support
recording. Supports the Advantech
interface to the 1740 card, or any Advantec digital IO card that has at least
16 bits each of input and output. It also still supports the old interface.

The Ultimate Live Show Control Program
Download the ShowMan installer - Latest Licensed Production Version
Note: This version will ONLY work with a dongle or a temporary .dng file.
Please contact RSD for further information or for the version that works with a
.smr file.
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.
If you don't have a temporary license file or license dongle, just run
ShowManSetup.exe and enjoy for up to one half hour
at a time until it expires three months after installation or email us
for a temporary license file for your own use.

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
SoundMan-Assistant
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
