PCM96 Setup Dialog

When you click the PCM96 Communication button in the PCM96 Control Panel, the PCM96 Setup dialog appears.

Communications Interface

Select your computer’s connection to the PCM96 here. Choose from FirewireTM or “Ethernet X,” where “X” is a number corresponding to your computer’s network interface card.

Driver Buffer Setting

This control manages latency. Choose from Max Latency (highest latency, least chance of audio droput), Slow (higher latency, less chance of audio dropout), Normal (medium latency, medium change of audio dropout), and DAW (lower latency, more chance of audio dropout).

FireWire Setting

Determines if the plug-in streams audio to and from the PCM96, or if the plug-in controls the PCM96 without streaming audio. Choose from “Control And Audio” and “Control Only.”

Note that when the PCM96 is in Control Only mode, you may be prompt- ed to “Select the PCM96 you would like to connect to.” When this happens, select the channel you’d like to apply the plug-in to.

Cancel

Click to cancel any changes you’ve made and return to the PCM96 Control Panel.

Accept

Click to save any changes you’ve made and return to the PCM96 Control Panel.

Streaming plug-in configurations

When the PCM96 is used as a streaming plug-in, using FireWire I/O, the cascaded options will be unavailable. The increased channel count of the FireWire connection lets you use up to four simple mono or two simple ste- reo virtual machines at the same time. There are no cascade configurations available although effects can still be cascaded in the DAW.
