11.3 Tab Global

This tab includes several options that work on all currently installed cards.

Lock Registry

Default: off. Checking this option brings up a dialog to enter a password. Changes in the Set-

tings dialog are no longer written to the registry. As the settings are always loaded from the

registry when starting the computer, this method provides an easy way to define an initial state

of the HDSPe MADI FX.

Optimize Multi-Client Mixing

Default: off. Checking this option

removes short noise bursts when

multi-client playback starts, but will

also introduce some additional CPU

load.

Enable MMCSS for ASIO activates

support with higher priority for the

ASIO driver. Note: At this time,

activating this option seems to be

useful only with the latest

Cubase/Nuendo at higher load. With

other software this option can

decrease performance. The change

becomes active after an ASIO reset.

Therefore it is easy to quickly check

which setting works better.

ASIO 32 Channel Limit

Default: off. Checking this option limits

the number of ASIO I/Os to 32.

Reducing the number of ASIO

channels is required for older versions

of ProTools to prevent them from

crashing on start-up.

Change Card Order

This dialog lists all cards currently installed in the system and controlled by the driver. Their

order can then be changed by selecting a card and using the up/down arrows. Confirm the op-

eration with the Apply button. This feature comes in handy if different cards are installed and a

specific one of them should always be the first in the ASIO channel list.

At the end of the card info line the current firmware version is shown (Revision).
