10. Operation under ASIO

10.1 General

Start the ASIO software and select ASIO Fireface USB as the audio I/O device or the audio

driver.

The Babyface supports ASIO Direct Monitoring (ADM).

The Babyface MIDI I/O can be used with both MME MIDI and DirectMusic MIDI.

10.2 Channel Count under ASIO

At a sample rate of 88.2 or 96 kHz, the ADAT optical input and output operates in S/MUX mode,

so the number of available channels is reduced from 8 to 4.

At a sample rate of 176.4 and 192 kHz, the ADAT optical input and output operates in S/MUX4

mode, so the number of available channels is limited to 2.

Note

: When changing the sample rate range between Single, Double and Quad Speed the

number of channels presented from the ASIO driver will change too. This may require a reset of

the I/O list in the audio software.
