What is a Driver?

Drivers are software programs that allow data to be
exchanged between computer applications and the
M-1000 when the M-1000 is connected to the
computer with a USB cable.
The driver transmits data from applications to the
M-1000 and also relays data from the M-1000 back to the applications.

Types of Drivers

The following chart shows the drivers that can be used according to your operating
system (such as Windows XP or Mac OS).

Advanced Mode and Standard Driver Mode

The M-1000 features two operational modes, Advanced mode and Standard Driver
mode, each of which uses different drivers.

Advanced Mode

This mode is operational when the [ADVANCED] USB indicator is lit. Using the
special drivers provided on the M-1000 Driver CD-ROM, you can input and output
high-quality audio data with great stability in timing.
In Advanced mode, audio signals are exchanged between the M-1000 and the
computer using 24-bit resolution, with sampling frequencies of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz,
and 96 kHz supported. Set the M-1000 to Advanced mode when using software
capable of handling input and output of high-quality audio, including programs by
Cakewalk, Cool Edit, and other 24-bit compatible software, and applications that
support ASIO, such as Cubase VST, Logic Audio, SingerSongWriter, and Metro.
You cannot play back audio data (audio CDs, alert sounds, etc.) from Macintosh's
Sound Manager in Advanced mode.
