38 ARTURIA – Analog Lab – USER’S MANUAL
The “Audio &MIDI Settings” windows for Windows and Mac OS X
DEVICE
The top line allows you to select the audio driver for Analog Lab.
The second line chooses the audio output. The default setting is
“Built-in Output” for the Mac; for Windows we highly recommend
the use of an adequate ASIO driver for your sound card.
TEST
Sends out a short sine wave tone to help make sure sound is
being sent out the correct device.
SAMPLE RATE
Chooses the sample rate; the default is 44.1 KHz. Increasing the
sample rate increases the quality of sound, but adds a bigger load
to the CPU.
AUDIO BUFFER
SIZE
Chooses the audio buffer size, displayed in samples and
milliseconds. The default is 512 samples. Decreasing this number
lowers latency, but adds more load to the CPU. Increasing this
number lessens the load on the CPU but increases latency (the
delay between a played note and actual sound output).
ACTIVE MIDI
INPUTS
Displays the available MIDI inputs that can be used to control
Analog Lab. For example, if you'd like to use an external keyboard
with Analog Lab, it can be selected here.
