How does the ControlPanel work?

The Phase ControlPanel and the routing (signal flow within the card) is very easy to

understand. If you move the mouse over one of the elements, you can read a short

explanation of each item (Windows only). This should spare even less well-versed users

from having to look through this (oh-so-entertaining) manual. You still want to know what

it is all about? Very well: the following are the individual function blocks, from left to right:

As you surely already know from reading the chapter "The connections of the PHASE 28

system.", Ü page 16, you can control the sensitivity of the inputs using both sliders on the

slot plate of the PHASE 28 system. If the recording situation requires it, you can control

the second preamplifier portion via the software.

The gain stage also features a multicolored Clip LED. These give you a visual warning of

excessive levels and impending distortion. Yellow light signals the -1dB threshold, red

indicates overmodulation of the 0dB mark, which may result in audible distortion.

Here, you can select whether to record a signal by analog or digital input. The signal can

be recorded via the "PHASE 28 WAVE" driver by the application you choose.

When recording from digital sources, you should pay attention that the sampling rate is

synchronized correctly (see Master Clock below).

Note: Applications based on the PHASE 26's ASIO driver (Windows) or CoreAudio (MAC

OS X), have simultaneous access to the analog and digital inputs

In the Analog Out area of the PHASE ControlPanel, you can control the output volumes of

the individual analog outputs, which are addressed by the output drivers (WAVE). Using

the drop-down menus of each channel, you also have the option of listening in to the

digital or analog output instead of a WAVE device.

Practical tip: If you are working with common audio/MIDI se-

quencers, you should also use the this software for volume con-

trol. The advantage is that the settings are usually saved together

with your project (song, arrangement etc.), and do not need to be

loaded first from the PHASE ControlPanel.
