Installing/Using Duende software 2.5.9 with Win 7 x64

Update 9-17-10 : Duende-V2.19.0 x64 Hardware Driver.zip I received a signed driver from Sydec/SSL. Great customer service. This is the latest hardware driver for the 2.x series & to be used with the 2.5.9 plugins.

  1. Download theDuende-V2.19.0 x64 Hardware Driver.zip
  2. Download the 2.5.9 Duende plugin package
  3. Uninstall any current Duende Software
  4. Install v2.19 manually via device manager.
  5. Install the 2.5.9 plugins

 

 

SSL never released a “microsoft signed” 2.x driver. For those that would like to use the on-board DSP 2.x duende driver on Win 7 x64 systems follow these steps.

  1. Download the 2.5.9 Duende driver
  2. Download the Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider
  3. Uninstall any current Duende Software – (Duende – device driver remove script)
  4. Enable Test Mode with DSEO – Reboot
  5. Install 2.5.9 – (it will fail)
  6. Sign the system file with DSEO (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\Duendea64.sys) – Reboot
  7. Re-Install 2.5.9
  8. MAKE SOME NOISE

X-Verb Lexicon inspired?

While demoing the SSL Duende X-verb I noticed the preset names seemed very familiar. I noticed the similarity to the Lexicon gear that i’m used to dealing with. That got my curiosity churning.  Time for a comparison I say. I pulled up some multitrack drum noodling & a  verb bus comparing both the X-verb & Lexicon m300. The result? It’s now of my opinion the X-verb team was influenced if not down right trying to replace the classic Lexicon hardware we know.

For the comparison I pulled up similar named presets on both the X-verb/ m300 & recorded the results @ 24/48.
