ACCESSING THE 896MK3 SETTINGS
There are several ways to access 896mk3 settings:
■ Open MOTU Audio Console from the Windows
Start menu > Programs > MOTU.
■ From within your host audio software’s audio
driver preferences. For example, in Cubase or
Nuendo, open the Device Setup window, click VST
Audio System and choose MOTU Audio ASIO from
the ASIO Driver menu. Then click the MOTU
Audio ASIO item in the list and click the Control
Panel button.
☛ Most applications provide access only to basic
settings such as sample rate and clock source. For
access to all settings, open MOTU Audio Console
using one of the techniques above.
■ From the front panel LCD as explained in
chapter 6, “Front Panel Operation” (page 47).
896mk3 tab settings
The 896mk3 tab (Figure 5-1) provides settings that
apply to a specific 896mk3 interface. If you have
several 896mk3 (or other MOTU) interfaces
connected, you’ll see a separate tab for each one.
General tab settings
The General tab provides settings that apply to all
connected MOTU FireWire and USB Audio
interfaces.
