Sound Manager (MacOS)
Korg 1212 I/O 39
English
Sound Manager (MacOS)
Introduction
Digital audio software designed for the 1212 I/O can take advantage of all
the card’s advanced features, such as multitrack input and output and
ADAT timecode synchronization. Even if a program has not been
specifically written for use with the 1212 I/O, however, you may still use
the card for digital or analog sound input and output through Apple’s
Sound Manager. Some Sound Manager programs may not be compatible
with the 1212 I/O; for a list of supported programs, please see the 1212 I/O
Read Me file.
Sound Manager controls the basic sound input and output for the
computer as a whole, including system alert beeps, speech input and
output, game sounds, and so on. Through the Sound Manager, add-on
hardware, such as the 1212 I/O, can be used in place of the computer’s
built-in sound input and output.
When you are using the 1212 I/O through the Sound Manager, only two
channels are available for input and output (you can choose any two that
you want, separately for input and output). The 1212 I/O Utility is used to
select these input and output channels, and also to select the sample rate
and clock source for use with Sound Manager programs. ADAT timecode
synchronization is not available through the Sound Manager.
Sound Manager setup
Apple’s Sound control panel is included on the 1212 I/O floppy disk, in the
folder named “Install in System Folder.” This control panel is not
automatically installed with the MacOS system software, but for audio
cards, it works much better than the other sound-oriented control panels
(including Monitors & Sound and Sound & Displays).
For this reason, only the Sound control panel is recommended for
configuring the 1212 I/O and Sound Manager.
You can continue to use the Monitors & Sound and Sound & Displays
control panels for any purpose other than configuring the 1212 I/O for use
with Sound Manager.
To set up the Sound Manager to use the 1212 I/O:
1. Open the Sound control panel.
2. Select “Sound In” from the Sound control panel’s menu.
The Sound In page appears, with the on-screen instruction, “Choose a
source for recording.”
3. Select the 1212 I/O icon.
