How does the Control Panel work?
The Phase Control Panel and the routing (signal flow within the card) is very easy to un-
derstand. You still want to know what it is all about? Very well: the following are the indi-
vidual function blocks, from left to right:
Analog In
The Analog In section of the PHASE Control Panel controls the levels of the analog in-
puts. If the input level of a connected device is too low, you can increase it here by up to
18 dB in 0.5 dB steps. A VU meter is available for visually monitoring the levels, and the
two LEDs warn of excessive levels and (impending) distortion. A yellow light signals the -1
dB threshold, red indicates a signal in excess of 0 dB resulting in audible distortion.
Wave Record Select
Here, you can select whether to record a signal by analog or digital input. The signal can
be recorded via the "PHASE 22 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 22's ASIO driver (Windows) or CoreAudio (MAC
OS X), have simultaneous access to the analog and digital inputs.
Analog output
The Analog Output section of the PHASE Control Panel controls the output levels of the
analog outputs addressed by the output (WAVE) drivers. The dropdown menu lets you
monitor the digital or analog input instead of the WAVE device.
In addition, you can lock the two faders in relation to one another with the "Stereo Link"
button. The "Mute" buttons can be used to mute the individual channels.
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 Control Panel.
