The Windows Drivers; The Mme Wave Driver; The Asio Driver And The Phase-Asio Controlpanel - TerraTec PHASE 26 USB Manual

The Windows drivers.

The audio interface PHASE 26 USB features a range of drivers for a variety of applica-
tions. The audio drivers support all bit rates between 8 and 32 bits with all common
sample rates between 8 and 96 kHz.

The MME Wave driver.

In most Windows programs, you will encounter drivers with the designation
"PHASE 26 USB" for recording and playback. In order to address the outputs of the Audio
Interface, you will also find a numbering that corresponds to three output pairs: 1+2, 3+4
and 5+6.
Depending on the application software, the driver names are displayed with supplements
that refer to the audio architecture of the operating system: MME, WDM or DirectSound
(see below for more information).

The ASIO driver and the PHASE-ASIO ControlPanel.

Programs that make use of Steinberg's ASIO interface indicate in the corresponding
dialogs the ASIO drivers of the PHASE 26 USB System. With ASIO, programs achieve
extremely short delays (latency) during audio recording and playback. Therefore, a
latency of significantly less than 10ms should be targeted. For fast, well organized
systems, even latencies of less than 4 ms are possible at sampling rates of 96 kHz!
The ASIO driver is listed in compatible programs under "TerraTec Phase 26 ASIO driver".
The inputs and outputs (usually called "buses" or "channels") available in the programs
are generally called "USB Output #0", as well as #2 and #4 for output pairs 3+4 and 5+6.
This numbering scheme is logical when you keep in mind that the numbering system
used by the programmer, which begins with either 0 or 1, depending on the program, for
the first, i.e. the left, audio channel.
Note: In Cubase SX, the individual output pairs are addressed via
the busses. Switching the output assignments (USB Output #0,
#2, or #4) has no effect.
