Using Audio Programs
Whenever an audio program is running, be sure to set the sample rate from within
the audio program, as opposed to using the OASYS PCI Editor preferences
settings. Otherwise, the audio program may not know that the sample rate has
changed.
The OASYS PCI Editor's settings will reflect the sample rate settings made within
the digital audio program.
Word clock source and ASIO programs
When using ASIO-compatible audio programs, set the word clock source from
within the audio program. When using an external clock source, make sure that
the sample rate of the source matches the rate set in the digital audio program.
Word clock source and Windows MME audio programs
When using Windows MME programs, you must set the word clock source using
the OASYS PCI Wave Device Settings program (as described on page 129). When
using an external clock source, make sure that the sample rate of the source
matches the rate set in the digital audio program.
Synchronization settings (Windows)
Each of the OASYS PCI's stereo pairs of inputs and outputs appear to Windows
MME audio programs as an independent wave device. When the Auto Sync
button is turned on in the OASYS PCI Wave Device Settings program, all of the
wave devices will be grouped together so that they operate as a single,
synchronized multichannel I/O device.
Auto Sync is an easy-to-use, fool-proof mode optimized for working with
multichannel audio programs. However, you can also use multiple audio
programs at once, each connected to different sets of stereo I/O pairs. In this case,
you should use the Custom Synchronization settings instead. For more
information, see "Custom Synchronization" on page 134.
Output selection
With any ASIO- or MME-compatible mutichannel audio program, you can process
up to 8 channels of audio through the OASYS PCI's mixer channels and effects
send busses, and route an additional 12 channels directly to the OASYS PCI's
outputs.
From this perspective, you can think of the OASYS PCI as a combination of a 12-
channel I/O card and an 8-input multieffect processor.
When the OASYS PCI is used as an audio device, you will see the following
selections in the audio program's output menu: Analog L-R, S/PDIF L-R, ADAT 1-
2, ADAT 3-4, ADAT 5-6, ADAT 7-8, and Streams 1-8.
