Installation (Macintosh)
3
Important: Download the drivers from http://www.alesis.com onto a folder
on your desktop or insert the software CD into your computer's CD drive
BEFORE you plug your IO|14/26 into your computer for the first time.
Install the software/drivers first
Important: Follow these steps BEFORE you plug your IO14/26 into your
computer for the first time.
Begin by running the Alesis installer(s). These programs (there
may be one or more than one installer) will install three very
important components onto your computer:
Install Cubase LE (optional)
If you are interested in using Cubase LE as your multitrack
Digital Audio Workstation, install it from the CD now.
Connect your IO|14/26
Now, connect your IO|14/26 to your computer using a Firewire
cable. Watch for one of the lights on the unit to turn on within a
few seconds. If a light does not turn on, plug in the external AC
adapter.
•
Drivers. The CoreAudio and CoreMIDI
drivers allow your Mac to identify and interact
with your IO|14/26.
•
Control Panel. Access the Control Panel from
Audio/MIDI Setup's "Configure Device"
button. The control panel allows you to set
sample rates, clock sources, buffer sizes, and
other settings.
•
Hardware Direct Monitoring Panel. This
application lets you route the IO|14/26's
inputs directly to its outputs for a minimum
of latency (delay) when recording.
The Hardware Direct Monitoring Panel also
allows you to change Headphone2 and
S/PDIF output assignments.
If you have access to the
Internet, check
http://www.alesis.com for the
very latest software updates.
The updates posted there are
guaranteed to be the most
current, best software
versions available.
Mac OS X 10.3 or later is
required.
Your CoreAudio application
may describe the IO|14/26
channels simply as "1, 2, 3,
4, etc." Note that, if you are
using an IO|14, the S/PDIF
channels will not appear at
the end of the channel list but
rather at an earlier position.
