M-Audio 66 manual

PCM In 1/2 Delta-66

PCM In 3/4 Delta-66

S/PDIF In Delta-66

Mon.Mixer Delta-66

The PCM In devices allow recording a stereo stream directly from the specified analog input pairs. The S/PDIF In device allows you to record a stereo stream directly from the S/PDIF input. The Mon.Mixer device allows stereo recording from the digital “monitor” mixer built-into the Delta 66. The audio data recorded from this device is the mix of input and output streams set up in the Delta Control Panel software (see Delta 66 Control Panel Software section).

Note that all of the input devices are stereo. Your application software may break these down further to “left” and “right” mono devices. Therefore you may see them as “Left PCM In 1/2 Delta-66, Right PCM In 1/2 Delta-66”, “Left S/PDIF In Delta-66, Right S/PDIF In Delta-66”, or “Left Mon. Mixer Delta-66, Right Mon. Mixer Delta-66,” etc. from within your recording software.

WINDOWS MME AUDIO OUTPUT DEVICES: All Delta 66 analog and S/PDIF outputs may be used simultaneously for a total of 6 output channels. Within your software application(s), the names of the Delta 66 audio output devices are:

WavOut 1/2 Delta-66

WavOut 3/4 Delta-66

WavOut S/PDIF Delta-66

WavOut devices allow playing a stereo audio stream to the analog hardware outputs (for WavOut 1/2, 3/4), the S/PDIF hardware output (for WavOut S/PDIF), or into the hardware router or mixer. Your application software may break each of these stereo devices down further to “left” and “right” mono devices. Therefore you may see them as “Left WavOut 1/2 Delta-66, Right WavOut 1/2 Delta-66”, or “Left WavOut S/PDIF Delta-66, Right WavOut S/PDIF Delta-66”, etc. from within your music software. Most software will handle the outputs as stereo pairs but allow you to pan audio left or right within the pair. Therefore to send a mono output to OUT1 (for example), choose WavOut 1/2, then pan that track hard left.

Note that each device name begins with “WavOut.” This is to remind you that these are software devices, and not always connected directly to output hardware. Instead they are connected to the Delta 66’s internal patchbay/router and may be sent to one of several destinations. For more on the patchbay/router, see the Patchbay/Router section of the Delta Control Panel software discussion.

MACINTOSH SOUND MANAGER INPUTS AND OUTPUTS: The Apple Sound Manager limits the user to one stereo pair for input and one stereo pair for output. Within your music software, the device selection when using the Sound Manager
