When you cascade your existing Digital I/O card to the Live! Drive IR, please note the following:

•On the Digital I/O card, only the SPDIF Outputs are available.

The SPDIF Inputs and 2nd Line Input are available on the Live! Drive IR. The SPDIF Outputs are also available on the Live! Drive IR.

•You can connect two MIDI devices simultaneously to the MIDI Input of the Live! Drive IR and Digital I/O card. However, at any one time, you can only use the MIDI Input on either the Live! Drive IR or the Digital I/O card.

The MIDI Output is available on both the Digital I/O card and the Live! Drive IR.

If you have an Optical Digital I/O card (or Digital I/O card) from an earlier purchase, you can connect it to your Live! Drive IR. The figure below shows an alternative method for audio recording and content authoring using the Optical Digital I/O card.
