Configuration
When using DJ software we select Akiyama ASIO drivers
configuration will open the following window.
We recommend that you select only the sound card Syncron. To use
multiple cards, consult to the manual found in the installation
folder of drivers.
Select Syncron (see Syncron within a white rectangle as in the
figure) and set the value of "ASIO Buffer Size". There isn't an
optimum buffer size as this depends not only on the device but the
computer you are using. You must lower the value of the buffer
until start to hear crackling or distortion when playing music. When
this happens you will have found the minimum buffer and must
select a value a little higher so you do not hear unwanted sounds.
To exit press "OK"
Once done, you need to configure the inputs and outputs of your
software as described at the point of setting the sound card on this
manual.
SOUND CARD SET UP
After connecting your computer to the USB port, your PC will detect
it as an audio device (USB Audio Codec). You can play music on
your computer or send it, through the USB connection, as a signal
source to the device.
SYNCRON has 2 stereo inputs and 2 USB outputs. In point 13 of
"mixer panel" explains all the possible combinations of input-
output in function of the selected source.
NOTE: (1) The signal sent to the master output is not influenced by
the position of the volume controls. To use the USB connection,
please also refer to your computer manual operation and software
programs you use. (2) It is recommended not to use USB cables
shorter than a metre long.
Windows setup
Windows automatically installs drivers compatible with SYNCRON.
However, it is advisable to use ASIO drivers to reduce latency. In the
examples listed below we use the Akiyama ASIO drivers
(www.asio4all.com). Once installed the drivers from your computer
will have access to 4 mono inputs and 4 mono outputs.
The inputs correspond to the SYNCRON LINE / PHONE 1 and 2
analog inputs. The outputs correspond to the MASTER outputs
(outputs 1 and 2), BOOTH (outputs 1 and 2) and Headphones
(Outputs 3 and 4). To better understand how you must configure
the SYNCRON audio USB inputs and outputs, below are examples
for use with most popular dj software.
Here we do not explain how to set Akiyama ASIO drivers but as the
software must be configured once the drivers are configured. More
information about the ASIO drivers Akiyama under "ASIO Drivers
Akiyama" in this manual or the manual that came with the drivers.

Virtual DJ
Virtual DJ can only use the inputs if you use ASIO drivers. You can
download free ASIO4 drivers (www.akiyamadj.com). The following
explains how to configure the outputs in case you do not use ASIO
drivers:
Select Setup / Audio Configure and configured it as follows:
- Inputs NONE.
-Outputs:
HEADPHONES: Master: Front output / Headphones: Rear Output
(when mixer panel is in MIDI mode).
EXTERNAL MIXER: Deck 1: Front output / Deck 2: Rear output (when
mixer panel is in internal mode).
- CARD 4.1 sound card Speakers: (2-SYNCRON).
Despite the names given by Virtual to sound cards, input and
output, in this configuration will have the master output of Virtual
DJ in the rear outputs of SYNCRON (Master balanced, unbalanced
and Booth) and the headphones output by the Front headphone
jack of SYNCRON device.
