Using the OASYS PCI
Via ASIO, you can record up to 12 channels (six stereo) simultaneously, all in the
digital domain. If you're using OASYS PCI with another audio program, use ADAT,
S/PDIF, or analog I/O.
For more information, see"Recording OASYS PCI synthesizers and effects" on
page 47.

Optimize physical bus usage
The OASYS PCI s a certain number of physical busses, used to communicate
between the DSP chips on the card. These physical busses are used to create the
Mixer Channels, Send Busses, and Output Busses.
The Detailed view of the Resource monitor (see page 106) shows how many of the
physical busses are in use. You can turn off Mixer Channels and Send Busses to
optimize the use of these physical busses.
Turn off unused Mixer Channels
If a Mixer Channel's Input Type is set to "Off," or if the Output and Sends are all set
to "Off," the Channel will be turned off, and will not use a physical bus.
Turn off unused Send Busses
If the Send Bus Output is set to "Off," or if no Mixer Channels are assigned to a
Send Bus and the Send Bus's Stream Input is set to "None," the Send Bus will be
turned off, and will not use a physical bus.
Output Bus "To Master" can change DSP processing requirements
Activating an Output Bus's To Master function may sometimes require the
Programs and Effects to be re-arranged within the DSPs. This may either increase
or decrease the effective amount of DSP processing power available. In extreme
cases, if a Multi was already using up almost all of the available DSP processing
power, this may put the processing requirements over the edge, so that the Multi is
too big to be played.
If this happen, you can reduce the number of Output Busses routed to the Master
output, or use other methods described in this section to reduce the DSP processing
load.
OASYS PCI
Save the OASYS PCI Multi in its current state, just in case you want to edit
the recorded tracks at a later time.
If you've only used a few channels in the OASYS PCI Multi, switch the
channel outputs to Off. This will clear the Patches and Effects from the
DSPs, freeing up space for new plug-ins.
or
Close the old Multi, and start a new one from scratch.
