15. Configuring the Fireface

15.1 Settings Dialog - General

Configuring the Fireface 400 is done via its own settings dialog. Start the program Fireface

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

Totalmix.

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

configures 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.
