ACCESSING THE PCI AUDIO CONSOLE
WINDOW
There are several ways to access the PCI Audio
Console window:
■ From Windows, run MOTU PCI Audio Console
(the stand-alone applet for the PCI-424 system)
■ From within Cubase VST, go to the Audio menu,
choose System and then click the ASIO Control
Panel button. In Cubase SX, open the Devices
Setup window, click the VST Multitrack device and
click the Control Panel button.
It doesn’t matter which way you access the window.
The settings are the same either way.
