RPC-1 Control Panel
5. Monitor Mixer page
You can use the Monitor Mixer to mix the input/output into
two channels and record or monitor it. Mixing is performed
within the RPC-1, and does not burden the CPU.
• Level meter: This shows the pre-fader level.
• Faders: Adjust the amount sent to Master.
• Solo: Solo ON/OFF
• Mute: Track mute ON/OFF
• Stereo Link: Stereo link ON/OFF
• Master Volume: Adjust the amount of Master
The settings here, such as fader and mute, do not affect the
R-BUS In, WavOut devices
By default, all inputs of the RPC-1 Monitor Mixer are muted.
6. Patchbay/Router page
Select the R-BUS output source. "WavOut," "R-BUS In" will
be selected. Normally select "WavOut." For "R-BUS Out 1/
2" you can select "Monitor Mixer."
7. Hardware Settings page
In this page you can make various settings for the RPC-1.
Master Clock
Select the master clock.
• Int. Clock: The RPC-1 will be the word clock master. In
this case, set the connected R-BUS device (or other RPC-1
unit) as the slave.
• Ext. Clock: The RPC-1 will be the word clock slave
(synchronize to another R-BUS device or another RPC-1
unit.) In this case, set the other R-BUS device (or the
other RPC-1 unit) as the master.
• Int.Clock Sample Rate: Select the sampling frequency
used when Master Clock is set to Int. Clock.
• Reset Rate When Idle: If this is checked, the sampling
frequency will return to the value that's been selected in
the control panel after the device is released by the
software.

• Ext. Clock Sample Rate: Select the sampling frequency
used when Master Clock is set to Ext. Clock.Only the
sampling frequency selected here can be used by the
software.
If the master clock is set to Ext. Clock, it is not possible to
change the sampling frequency using the software.
DMA Buffer Size
Specify the buffer sizes for MME (Windows only), ASIO, and
Sound Manager (Macintosh only). The buffer size is closely
related to latency, and latency will decrease as you decrease
the buffer size.
Depending on the performance of your computer, the digital
data may not be transmitted correctly if the buffer size is too
small, and noise may occur. In such cases, increase the buffer
size.
Depending on the software you are using, it may be
necessary to set the buffer size within the software. For
details, refer to the manual for the software you are using.
* The default buffer size values are as follows:
Windows 95/98/Me/NT: Latency 20 ms
Windows 2000 : Wave 10 ms, ASIO 2700 samples
Macintosh: ASIO, Sound Manager 1 024 samples
Multi-Track Driver Devices (Windows95/98/
Me only)
Specify how software will handle MME devices.
• Single and In-Sync: When using one software
application to handle all MME devices
simultaneously.This guarantees the synchronization of
each MME device.
• Independent: When using separate software
applications to handle each MME device.
• Multiple Card Sync: When using multiple RPC-1 units
simultaneously for more reliability of synchronization.
Sound Manager I/O (Macintosh only)
Select the R-BUS channel used by Sound Manager.
Disable Control of the Monitor Mixer and
Patchbay/Router by Audio
Applications(Windows95/98/Me only)
Check to disable control of the Monitor Mixer and patchbay/
Router by the applications.
