15. Configuring the Fireface

15.1 Settings Dialog - General

Configuring the Fireface is done via its own settings dialog. Start the program Fireface Set-

tings. The mixer of the Fireface (TotalMix FX) can be configured by starting the program To-

talmix.

The Fireface’s hardware offers a number of helpful, well thought-of practical functions and op-

tions which affect how the card operates - it can be configured to suit many different require-

ments.

The following is available in the

'Settings' dialog:

• Input selection

• Level of analog I/Os

• Configuration of digital I/Os

• Synchronization behaviour

• State of input and output

• Current sample rate

Any changes performed in the

Settings dialog are applied

immediately - confirmation (e.g. by

exiting the dialog) is not required.

However, settings should not be

changed during playback or record if

it can be avoided, as this can cause

unwanted noises.

The upper part of the dialog config-

ures the analog inputs and outputs,

the lower part controls the digital

setup.

The status displays gives the user

precise information about the current

status of the system, and the status

of all digital signals.

Use the drop down menu Properties

For to select the unit to be

configured.

On the right of it the current firmware and driver version is shown.
