Multi-client audio

Multi-client audio lets you use different inputs and outputs on your Echo audio

system with different audio programs at the same time. Otherwise, you would

have to use a different audio device with each audio application.

For example, suppose you own both Cubase VST (multitrack audio) and Reality

(software synthesizer). You can now set Cubase VST to play out through outputs

1 through 6, and set Reality to play out through outputs 7 and 8.

The default setting for Multi-client audio is disabled. Although this feature is very

useful, it can also be difficult to use properly. We highly recommend that you read

the appendix entitled “Multi-client audio FAQ,” found later in this manual,

before using this feature.

DirectSound/GSIF Settings

Click on the DirectSound/GSIF tab. The window will change to look like this:

The two radio buttons on the top toggle between the DirectSound and GSIF

modes, which are mutually exclusive. While DirectSound is enabled, you will not

be able to use your Echo product with the Gigasampler or Gigastudio software

samplers. Conversely, when GSIF is enabled, you will not be able to use the Echo

DirectSound driver.
