TC NEAR CONTROL PANEL

Buffer Size

Buffer Size*

The buffer size can be set from 32 to 8192 samples. The higher the buffer setting, the longer latency through Digital Konnekt x32. You should only increase the buffer size if you experience problems such a clicks and pops in the sound. Note that clicks and pops in the sound may also derive from clock problems. These should be resolved first.

*Setting the buffer size via the TC Near control panel is relevant for the PC version only. On Mac computers buffer size is set in the audio application. For instance in Logic Pro go to: Audio/Hardware drivers to set the buffer size.

System Clock

Clock Master

With the Clock Master parameter you select which of the Konnekts in your setup units that should act as system Clock Master.

In a digital setup, it is important that all connected devices run at the same sample rate. The Clock Master device defines this sample rate, and distributes a digital clock based on this sample rate to all devices in the setup. There can be one, and only one clock master in a digital setup, and you cannot select your computer here. However, the Clock Master device may sync to an external device. See “Sync Source” below.

Sync Source

The Sync Source parameter determines to which the device the Clock Master should sync. The DICE II FireWire chip provides excellent clock and in many setups the “internal” option is the best choice. However, you may sync to any digital device attached to the Digital Konnekt x32 digital inputs and enjoy the outstanding JetPLL jitter rejection technology also provided by the

DICE II.

Sample Rate

If Sync Source is set to “Internal”, the sample rate must be set. The options are:

44.1kHz

48 kHz

88.2kHz

96 kHz

176.4kHz

192 kHz

The sample rate is typically set by your host application. If you e.g. play a 44.1 kHz project the sample rate automatically shifts to 44.1 kHz. If you later load and play a 48 kHz song, the sample rate shifts to 48 kHz. Though Konnekt receives information about the sample rate it still provides the actual digital clock.
