Configuring ASIO Software

Configuring ASIO Software
The OASYS PCI includes ASIO drivers, for direct compatibility with MacOS and
Windows digital audio programs such as Cakewalk Metro, Cool Edit Pro, Cubase
VST, Deck, Digital Performer, Logic Audio, Peak, TC Spark, and more.
Installing the OASYS PCI ASIO driver
ASIO 1.0 vs. ASIO 2.0
ASIO drivers currently come in two flavors: ASIO 1.0 and ASIO 2.0. ASIO 1.0 is the
initial version of the driver standard, and ASIO 2.0 adds new features such as
support for sample-accurate timecode and control of hardware-based monitoring.
OASYS PCI includes drivers for both ASIO 1.0 and ASIO 2.0.
Many programs work well with either version of ASIO, but some programs may
only work with ASIO 1.0 drivers - and they may even crash when an ASIO 2.0
driver is selected.
If you are installing an ASIO driver for a particular program, find out what version
of ASIO is appropriate for that program. If in doubt, use the OASYS PCI ASIO 1.0
driver.
The ASIO 1.0 driver may not be included on your OASYS PCI CD-ROM. If not,
you can download it from the OASYS PCI website, at
http://www.korg.com/oasyspci_software.htm.
MacOS
MacOS digital audio programs require that ASIO drivers be placed in a particular
folder. Usually, this folder is named "ASIO Drivers," and is located in the same
folder as the program itself. Please consult your program's manual for more
details.
The installer will place an OASYS PCI ASIO 2.0 driver into each folder named
"ASIO Drivers." If an ASIO-compatible program does not recognize the OASYS
PCI, make sure that the correct version of the OASYS PCI ASIO driver is in the
appropriate folder.
If the driver isn't there, install it using the Custom Install option of the OASYS PCI
Installer, on the OASYS PCI CD-ROM. Or, if you have a copy of the ASIO driver on
your hard disk already, you can add it manually simply by dragging a copy of the
driver into the folder.
You will also need to manually add an OASYS PCI ASIO driver if you install new
ASIO-compatible software after installing the OASYS PCI software.
