6 – Sample Rate Converter Active indicator: POD Studio, TonePort and GuitarPort devices support

44.1 and 48 kHz sample rates natively, and support 88.2 and 96 kHz sample rates by way of an internal

sample rate converter.* This indicator lights up to show you when this converter is active, which can

be any time your audio software is requesting a different sample rate you’re your device “natively”

supports or is “xed” at (see the Force Driver Format checkbox description below).

*UX8 and POD X3 hardware supports 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz sample rates natively.

7 – ToneDirect & USB Audio Streaming Buffer Size: This slider adjusts the buffer size for the

audio responsiveness of the ToneDirect Monitoring signal. Basically, the default setting should be ne

for most systems, but if getting audio dropouts or working with large CPU demands on your system,

raise the slider a notch or two to the right until it alleviates the problem. Please see “ToneDirect™

Monitoring” on page 2•30 for more details.

Note: For UX8, please see “Mac OS® X Audio-MIDI Settings Dialog (UX8 Only)” on page 3•15.

5a – System Settings:

• The Default Input and Default Output options allow you to choose the audio interface you

want your audio applications to use by default. If you want this to be your Line 6 device, select it

here. (Note that professional DAW applications typically offer their own options or preferences

to allow you to choose your Line 6 device for recording & playback.)

• The System Output option allows you to choose which audio interface the Mac

System sounds

are played through. You may NOT want to choose this to be your Line 6 device, since it can

be rather annoying to hear those dings, beeps or frogs croaking at blaring volumes in your

headphones or monitors when working in your audio application! Even better, you can turn

these system settings off completely in the System Preferences > Sounds dialog.

5b – Properties For: Choose your Line 6 device here to allow the Audio Input and Audio Output

options display its settings.
