Modifying the
simplest way to create a configuration that will run properly on your ex-
isting Studer D950/Vista console. On your console, there are several things
that can not simply be changed by editing the configuration:
• All external I/O wiring
• Monitoring wiring and monitoring configuration
• Number of mic preamplifiers and their wiring
• Signaling (fader start, ...) wiring and configuration
It is not very likely that you will be changing any of the above all the time
– that is why you will want to use the existing configuration as a starting
point for your work, without having to think of configuring the right I/O
every time.
F Tip It could be that you want to change the sampling frequency of an existing
configuration. Just hit the according button on the toolbar, and you are
done.
The Configuration Tool will prompt you about functions which are not
supported under the selected sample frequency. It says, that they are not
supported and therefore will be removed automatically.
Functions not supported under 96 kHz:
• All AES interface functions
• All external I/O wiring
• All MADI interface functions
• 240 ms delay
