The DSP in the Falcon was the previous generation of DSPs, these were used in the Nord Lead 1 and 2 (not 2X). The architecture is quite different, we do not support these. Regarding Virus TDM, iirc there was the Virus TDM and the Indigo TDM. And there was also the Virus Powercore. If the question is if we can emulate them, very probably not. But also it doesn't make any sense as these TDM/Poco versions were just Virus B/C and we have those covered already. |

Digidesign made Access Virus Indigo TDM plugin for older MIX24 TDM Farm cards with Motorola DSP.
and updated plugin to v8.0 "Next Generation" for
HD core / Accel PCI-X and
and HD PCIe DSP cards,
those cards have Motorola DSP,
some have 256K memory per DSP, some DSP have No memory, some have 512k per DSP.
Explained in more depth here or here
Atari Falcon 030 also has a Motorola DSP 56k1 DSP.
Anyway...
ProTools HD10.3.10 is the last version that works with HD DSP hardware,
dont remember what is the last version that works with old MIX24 TDM.
but the 1st version of the Virus TDM plugin was introduced in ProTools 5.3 TDM,
can be downloaded from abandonware websites like:
MacGarden or MacRepository or MacArchive
the 1st version was Red, Not Blue like Indigo TDM.
Virus Indigo TDM is a DSP efficient version of the real Virus Hardware.
is Not the same, and MIDI settings are Not compatible using a Editor Librarian software like:
https://auraplugins.com/product/access-virus-editor/
https://auraplugins.com/brand/access-music/virus-tdm/
https://github.com/ AURAPluginsLtd/Access-Virus-Editor
Anyway... Indigo TDM plugin was Not updated to New HDX / Carbon DSP.
i have the ilok license.
Older HD DSP had a 48-Bit Mixer,1
with 24-Bit audio path = if you try to go over 0dBFS it has clipping, does Not allow to go over 0dBFS like floating DAWs.
Newer HDX has 64-Bit mixer with 32-Bit audio path, and has 18x DSP from Ti, Not motorola, Carbon has 8xDSP
PT HD10.3.10 also works with New HDX PCIe but Not TDM plugins, AAX or RTAS only.
requires very old HDX 11.0 driver
but...
Avid upgrades HDX PCIe firmware every year, older driver 11.0 probably wont work anymore.
last OSX version that HD10.3.10 work is OSX Maverics 10.9.5
some people force install HD10.3.10 in OSX HighSierra but has visual Bugs & Glitches, some can be workaround some dont.
PT HD11 Removed support for RTAS and TDM, AAX-Only.
Avid purchased Digidesign, or was rebranded,
offers a 90-day Free SDK Evaluation Download
for AAX-DSP SDK 2.7.0
Evaluation Time can be Extended or Canceled by Avid at anytime,
but to make a comercial product requires purchasing the AAX-SDK "Negotiating the Price",
or using a different Framework like JUCE, ASPiK, BlueCats Plugin Script, HISE, CMake, etc...
SDK has a demo plugin how to convert from JUCE to AAX-DSP.
Avid AAX-SDK has similar Restrictions / Licensing terms as the old Steinberg SDK 2.4
New Steinberg SDK3.x does Not have those limitations, terms & conditions,
but most people still prefer a 3rd party Framework for crossover-platform coding.
in the Legacy Downloads
has the SDK 9.0 for TDM & RTAS plugins,
but SDK does Not contain Motorola DSP OpCodes,
only guides, plugin demos, libraries to build for DSP.
Same as Steinberg SDK 2.4 requires Visual Studio 2005, or Xcode 3.2 with GCC 6.0 Not 6.1, Not VS 2008.
instead Steinberg SDK 3.x requires Visual Studio 2019 according to ASPiK cross platform plugin framework.
there is No download for ProTools Developer HD 9.0.6 Nor HD 10.3.10 with Debug.
ProTools developer does Not save projects, only allows to debug plugins.
