10. Operation under ASIO 
10.1 General 
Start the ASIO software and select ASIO Fireface USB as the audio I/O device or the audio 
driver. 
The Babyface Pro supports ASIO Direct Monitoring (ADM). 
The Babyface Pro MIDI I/O can be used with both MME MIDI and DirectMusic MIDI. 
10.2 Channel Count under ASIO 
At a sample rate of 88.2 or 96 kHz, the ADAT optical input and output operates in S/MUX mode, 
so the number of available channels is reduced from 8 to 4. 
At a sample rate of 176.4 and 192 kHz, the ADAT optical input and output operates in S/MUX4 
mode, so the number of available channels is limited to 2. 
Note
: When changing the sample rate range between Single, Double and Quad Speed the 
number of channels presented from the ASIO driver will change too. This may require a reset of 
the I/O list in the audio software.
