5. Configuring the HDSP or HDSPe Interface

This update to the manual addresses the whole HDSP and HDSPe series. The screenshots on

the next pages are examples, your particular interface will show some differences. The text

describes only the new or changed options which are missing in the current manuals. For all

other options please refer to the interface’s original manual.

5.1 Settings Dialog

Configuration of the interface is done via its own settings dialog. The panel 'Settings' can be

opened:

• by clicking on the hammer symbol in the Task Bar's notification area

The mixer of the interface, TotalMix FX, can be opened:

• by clicking on the mixer’s FX icon in the Task Bar's notification area

The hardware offers a number of helpful, well thought-of practical functions and options which

affect how the card operates - it can be configured to suit many different requirements, like:

• Latency (Buffer Size)

• WDM device configuration

• Current sample rate

• Synchronization behaviour

• Configuration of digital I/Os

• Input selection

• State of input and output

Any changes made in the Settings

dialog are applied immediately -

confirmation (e.g. by clicking on OK

or 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.

Also, please note that even in 'Stop'

mode, several programs keep the

recording and playback devices

open, which means that any new

settings might not be applied

immediately.

Several status displays provide the

user with precise information about

the system’s current status, and the

status of all digital signals.

The tab About provides information about the current driver and firmware version.
