You can set the buffer size from 64 to 4,096 samples.
The buffer size determines the roundtrip time it takes
audio data to be converted from analog to digital and
back to analog. As a general rule, the higher the buffer
size, the better the system performance, but the less
playable virtual instruments and the like become.
In general, 512 samples (11 to 12 milliseconds)
will provide you with a large enough buffer for
optimum system performance, but low enough to
be unobtrusive. You should set your buffer size and
sample rate prior to launching your host application.
On the Mac, the buffer size is set from
inside your host application.

A firmware updater is built into the Universal
Control application. Periodically, a driver update
will require that the firmware on your StudioLive
be updated. Whenever you install an update for
the Universal Control or add a new FireStudio-
family product to your system, you should use
this feature to ensure that the firmware is up to
date. If the firmware needs to be updated, the
update application will launch automatically.
