7. Configuring the MADIface USB
7.1 Settings Dialog - General
Configuration of the MADIface USB is done via its own settings dialog. The panel Settings can
be opened:
• by clicking on the fire symbol in the Task Bar's notification area
The mixer of the MADIface USB, TotalMix FX, can be opened:
• by clicking on the DSP-FX icon in the Task Bar's notification area
The hardware of the MADIface USB offers a number of helpful, well thought-of practical func-
tions and options which affect how the unit operates - it can be configured to suit many different
requirements. The following is available in the Settings dialog:
• Latency
• Configuration of digital I/Os
• Current sample rate
• Synchronization behaviour
• State of input and output
Any changes made
Settings dialog are
immediately - confirmation (e.g.
by clicking on OK or exiting the
dialog) is not required.
However, settings should not be
changed during playback
record if it can be avoided, as
this can cause unwanted noises.
Also, please note that even in
'Stop' mode, several programs
keep the recording and playback
devices open, which means that
any new settings might not be
applied immediately.
The status display at the bottom
of the dialog box gives precise
information about the current
status of the system, and the
status of all digital signals.
Buffer Size
The setting Buffer Size determines the latency between incoming and outgoing ASIO and WDM
data, as well as affecting system stability (see chapter 8/9).
USB Diagnosis shows specific USB transmission errors (CRC5, usually 0) and general errors.
If the unit detects a record or playback error the number shown will no longer be 0. An audio
reset is performed automatically. The counter is reset on start of playback/record. More informa-
tion can be found in chapter 26.4.
