4 Universal Control
Universal Control is a powerful hardware management application for all PreSonus®
interface products. It allows you to manage any PreSonus interface product
connected to your computer or your computer’s network.
4.1 Universal Control Launch Window
When Universal Control is launched, you will see the Launch Window. From
this window, you can manage all the Core Audio and ASIO driver settings.
Sample Rate. Changes the sample rate.
You can set the sample rate to 44.1 or 48 kHz. A higher sample rate will
increase the fidelity of the recording but will increase the file size and
the amount of system resources necessary to process the audio.
Block Size. Sets the buffer size.
From this menu, you can set the buffer size from 32 to 4,096 samples (macOS®), or 64
to 8,192 samples (Windows®). Lowering the buffer size will lower latency; however,
this will also increase performance demands on your computer. In general, you will
want to set the buffer size as low as your system can safely support. If you begin
to hear pops, clicks, or distortion in your audio path, try raising the buffer size.
File Menu. Manages devices connected to Universal Control.
Show All Devices. Launches all control windows for all supported devices
connected to your computers network or host transport (USB or FireWire).
Close All Devices. Closes all open control windows.
About Universal Control. Displays version and build date information.
Quit. Quits the Universal Control application and all hardware control windows.
