Output & Settings Master Clock Here we're dealing with the sample rate used by the PHASE X24 FW. This is a very important point, as the card can be clocked by an external signal (External, e.g. from a DAT recorder) or it can set a sampler rate itself and provide this signal to other devices. -
Page 29: Routing
“External”. If no signal is available or the connection has been interrupted, the message “--------” will be returned. Note: Unlike PCI cards, the PHASE X24 FW system cannot automatically synchronize the required sample rate. Select the sample rate manually using the dropdown menu in the Control Panel to avoid a sample rate conversion and attendant loss of quality. -
Page 30: The Asio Panel
The ASIO panel To open the ASIO panel, click the “ASIO” button (on the bottom left side of the PHASE Control Panel). Use the slider to adjust the latency (i.e. the delay between striking a key or a MIDI event and the output of the sound). If the value is too low (and the sample rate too high), this will negatively affect the performance of your overall system—a more powerful computer will support a lower latency setting. -
Page 31: Scenes
The settings for Standalone mode will also be saved here if you don't assign a name to the scene. If the PHASE X24 FW system is then powered up without being connected to a computer, it can be used as a high-quality microphone preamp or D/A converter. Simply set up the routing as needed and save the scene without a name. -
