        Hello EVENTIDE and beloved users

        i have a question to ask!

        i want to use "Vsig" or vSigX Pc or Mac with my DSP4000 unit.

        in the back of the DSP4000 there are the COM ports "IN" OUT" do i need to connect them both?

        To use the "Vsig" or vSigX" ?

        in my Mac or Pc i do not have a COM port any more will these do the job…..

        "USB 2.0 TO 9PIN RS232 COM PORT SERIAL CONVERT ADAPTER" or i need different Adapter?

        !! If the COM ports need to be connected both "IN"  "OUT" so it means i need 2 Adapters? !! 

        in the DSP4000 unit i see that the "IN" "OUT" COM ports are both "male" type connections and the all the Adapters in Ebay are also male type connections will a cable with female on both the ends do the job? (i sure it will but i got to make sure 🙂

        Sorry if i not most clear with my question 🙂

        Big thanks

          Only a few of the more recent members of the DSP4000 family have PC-type serial ports – these will only have a single connector. It sounds as though yours is an older one, which has a PA-422 interface. This is not suitable for computer use.

          But, you can always use MIDI if you have a suitable computer interface.

            Hi nickrose thanks for your answer

            Yes i have the PA-422!

            if i can use midi is great,i have more experience with midi devices,i must ask because my pc is not in a ready use!!  " Vsig" can communicate with the DSP4000 via midi?

            From your answer i understand it is,i will read the manual for more info.

            One more thing about the "vSigX" (mac) can it also be used with midi?

            in the "vSigX" preferences i see the midi option but it appear that i can't enable it! any info about that will be great,i will also read the manual for more info!

            i must ask for these guide lines it help me to get in to proportion.

            Again big thanks….

              Vsig can communicate with the DSP4000 using MIDI.

              I don't know much about Vsig-X since it is not an Eventide product. My understanding is that it requires a serial port – no MIDI.
