OVERVIEW
Because of its advanced, extensive feature set, the
LP32 can be used for many different purposes. This
chapter discusses common use cases and their
corresponding device presets, to help you use the
hardware for your needs.
Preset menu
The preset menu (item #7 on page 12) contains a
number of presets specifically designed for
common use cases. By loading the corresponding
preset, the LP32’s routing tab and mixer will be
reconfigured accordingly. You can visit the routing
and Mixing tabs to inspect settings and adjust
them as needed.

AUDIO INTERFACE
Choose the Audio Interface preset to use the LP32
as a standard USB or iOS audio interface.
Hardware inputs and outputs are accessible from
your computer or iOS device. From Computer
channels 1-2 are routed to the LP32 Headphone
Out L-R (through the on-board mixer). All of the
LP32’s optical inputs are routed to both to the
computer and the on-board mixer, too. If you want
to monitor a live input with zero latency, simply
unmute its input in the mixer and you’ll hear its no-
latency signal on the Headphone output. From
Computer channels 1-2 are also routed to the mixer
(channels 33-34), so you can include computer
output in the monitor mix. Networking features are
disabled.
