Midi Programming tab, Quick Start tab Windows only

NOTE

It’s important that you do not leave this switch in the on position if your DAW application does in fact alter the gain of the audio signal in response to Master fader messages from the FW-1082. In this situation, Master fader gain would be applied twice - once in the host application, and once by the FW-1082's internal mixer.

5 – Control Panel

OVR Threshold This setting determines the level at which the FW-1082’s meters register an “over,” or clipping level. It can be varied between 0.0 and –5.0 dBFS, in .5 dBFS increments.

Compensate for Converter delays (WDM) This setting (Windows only) allows WDM drivers to compensate for converter delays.

MIDI Programming tab

This tab is used to program the FW-1082’s control surface in MIDI CTRL mode. For detailed information on using this function, please refer to “MIDI Control Mode – (General Notes)” on page 20.

Quick Start tab (Windows only)

This allows you to specify a set of channels which will always stream when using WDM/KS Driver Mode in Sonar.

This, for example, speeds up the start of a playback or record operation in Sonar, especially when there are a lot of channels enabled. If there is a hesitation after pressing PLAY or RECORD before the opera- tion begins, try enabling this feature.

To use it, check the channels that you will be using in your WDM audio app. When the channels selected in the Quick Start tab match the channels actually used by your application, the FW-1082 will not have to re-sync when the application begins to use those channels. This has shown to be much faster, and less prone to produce an “audio engine stop” message.
