Driver Control Panel - Rane SIXTY-ONE Operator's Manual

CORE AUDIO (MACINTOSH)
The Sixty-One uses a low-latency
Audio device driver to interface with software
applications other than Scratch
Macintosh operating systems. Core Audio
allows different audio software applications to
simultaneously stream audio to and from the
Sixty-One.
To launch the Sixty-One driver Control Panel,
open the System Preferences window. Locate
the Sixty-One in the "Other" section and click
the Sixty-One icon.

DRIVER CONTROL PANEL

The control Panel consists of three pages:
Preferences, Program Inputs 1-2, and MIDI. To
move between the pages, click the
the upper left-hand corner of the control panel.
Preferences page controls:
• USB-6 (11-12) Record source: Two radio
buttons select the Main Mix or Mic.
• Buffer Size: The Buffer Size control allows
the USB driver buffer to be increased or
decreased. The Sixty-One drivers are designed
to run at latencies as low 8 milliseconds.
However, computer performance and available
resources (number of applications running)
may adversely affect the computer's ability
to stream audio reliably. If pops and clicks
are heard in the USB audio, try increasing the
buffer size to eliminate them. With ASIO, total
round-trip latency is equal to Buffer Size plus
device latency. With Core Audio, total round-
trip latency is equal to Buffer Size plus software
application buffer latency, plus device latency.
Device latency is 2.26 ms.

PGM Inputs 1-2 Page Controls:
There is one panel for each PGM Input on the
mixer. Each PGM panel controls these functions:
• Analog Input Source: Each input may be set
to Line level (CD) or Phono level (PH) using a
switch on the rear of the mixer. PH/CD 1 and
PH/CD 2 are associated with PGM 1. PH/CD 3
and PH/CD 4 are associated with PGM 2. The
control panel shows the input mode selected
on the mixer for each of the four inputs. The
mode can only be changed on the mixer.
• Phono Sensitivity: If Phono input is selected
on the mixer, the Phono Sensitivity control
appears. Clicking the down-arrow displays a
list of 16 sensitivity settings between 2.5 mV
and 10 mV in 0.5 mV steps. Set the Phono
Sensitivity to the same level of your cartridge
(see your cartridge documentation for the
correct value). Another method is to match the
level of a CD on another input.
• Filter Resonance: Each channel of the Sixty-
One has a Filter knob that provides both High-
and Low-Cut filtering. Filter resonance controls
the "peak" of the filter cutoff frequency. The
Low setting provides the smoothest Filter
without adding gain. The High setting adds
accent to frequencies near the Filter cutoff
point by adding about 12 dB of gain. Adding
gain in a narrow region around the cutoff
frequency adds a "zip" effect to audio as the
Filter is swept. The default resonance is 5 dB.

• USB-3 (5-6) Record Source: This control
allows users to select one of two analog
sources as the vinyl emulation or USB record
source for PGM 1. The two radio buttons allow
the user to select PH/CD 1 or PH/CD 2. The
post-PGM 1 fader signal is always available for
recording on USB 1 (1-2) record.
• USB-4 (7-8) Record Source: This control
allows selecting one of two analog sources as
the vinyl emulation or the USB record source
for PGM 2. The two radio buttons allow the
user to select PH/CD 3 or PH/CD 4. The post
PGM 2 fader signal is always available for
recording on USB 2 (3-4) record.
MIDI Configuration Page:
This page has two panels, one to configure the
MIDI Out Port and one to configure the MIDI In
Port. MIDI In and MIDI Out may be set to any
channel between 1 and 16 or OFF. If MIDI In or
Out are not being used, set them to OFF. MIDI
Out defaults to Channel 1 and MIDI In defaults to
OFF.
SEE "MIDI MAPPING" ON PAGE 46.
FACTORy DEFAULTS
To reset the Sixty-One Mixer's Record/Control
Sources, Phono Sensitivity and Filter Resonance
to default settings:
1. Power off the Sixty-One.
2. Push both FLExFx buttons at the same time.
4. While holding these buttons down, power on
the Sixty-One.
5. Immediately after fading up, the FLExFx lights
flash one time, indicating a successful reset.
NOTE: Settings are saved in the mixer.
Software is updated with the mixer's settings.
