NuVerb will run on any NuBus MacIntosh from the Mac II and later models.

V1.02 is the latest NuVerb standalone software.  V1.51 is the latest NuVerb TDM software.

AES standard pin 2 is hot. Pins 3, 5, 7 and 9 on the DB9 connecter have no connections.

Connect NuVerb’s blue AES cable to the back of the NuVerb card (DB-9 connector) and connect the XLR plugs to the AES in and out 1-2 on your Digidesign audio interface. If you are using an 888 interface, NuVerb must use the first AES pair (1-2). (The AES input on the 888 that provides the clock needed for a slave device).

System Requirements:

System 7.11 or higher

8 MB RAM minimum

32-bit mode

PowerMacs do not provide an FPU on the NuBus.  It is necessary to use SoftFPU in this setup.

No,  The last operating system that we have succesfully tested NuVerb with was OS7.6.1.

You can send NuVerb a 24 bit signal which will then be truncated to 20 bits.

Yes, However, there are some caveats.

In an expansion chassis you can only have 1 stand alone NuVerb, but as many TDM Nuverbs as you can fit.

In a mainframe you can have as many stand alone NuVerbs as you can fit.

Yes!

Make sure you are running System software 7.11 or higher (we recommend 7.5.1). Use your Extension Manager to trim down your startup extensions when using your Macintosh for digital audio. Only the necessary extensions such as Digisystem Init and others mandatory  for your setup should be loaded. Are you using other plug-ins that utilize the Interbase Administrator

 (Apogee’s plug-in uses this)?  If so, the wrong Administrator could be booting and is incompatible with NuVerb TDM. You may need to make an archive of your Administrators and trash the versions that are not being used so that they do not interfere with one another.

You must first install ProTools V4.1 and then do a custom install from the NuVerb TDM install disks.

Although Lexicon does not support third party solutions, we have had a customer report that this problem was solved using "SoftwareFPU" Version 3.07, a freeware from John Neil & Associates: http://www.jna.com. The new freeware for download  works with OS 8.6 .

System error 10 is a Macintosh system error. You probably need to narrow down the problem starting with your extensions. The problem may not be related to Nuverb directly. You should remove all the extensions that are not necessary for your audio system and see if that solves the problem. Then start adding back the other extensions in order of their importance to you until you find the conflicting extensions.

Make sure you have increased the RAM allocation in your DAE. Make sure you are running ProTools V3.1.

If using a new (PowerPC) expansion chassis, make sure your ECI card is in slot C. Make sure your NuVerb card is seated properly with the TDM piggyback mounted correctly. Make sure your NuVerb card is being accessed by the 1.02 application software.

If you are using NuVerb TDM V1.50 software you will need to quit both the NuVerb and Interbase Administrators and then Restart the ProTools system.

Make sure NuVerb is properly connected to the audio source.

The VVS card (which goes inside the Mac) makes Slot 8 in the NuBus Expansion chassis unusable!  Try bypassing that slot and put the NuVerb in Slot 9, and also skip a TDM node. Make sure you are using version 1.51 Nuverb TDM software. The above works fine with System 8.1 and even 8.51.
