“Installing the PCR-A30 driver”
This section explains how to install the ASIO driver that allows the PCR-A30
to be used by your sequencer software or audio editing software.
For details on installation and settings of the ASIO driver, be sure to also read
the
Driver E (Mac OS 9) - ReadmeE.htm
document on the CD-ROM.
The ASIO driver of the PCR-A30 supports the following audio input/output
channels.
• Audio input ........ 24/16 bit 1 stereo ch. (2 monaural chs.)
• Audio output ...... 24/16 bit 1 stereo ch. (2 monaural chs.)
Here we will explain how to install the ASIO 1.0 16 bit-compatible driver.
1
From the
Driver E (Mac OS 9) - ASIO Driver
folder of the CD-ROM, copy
[PCR-A ASIO1.0 16bit]
to the
ASIO Drivers
folder of the ASIO-compatible
software you are using (e.g., Cubase VST, Logic Audio, Digital Performer,
Metro, or SPARK LE).
2
Start up your ASIO-compatible software.
3
Open the Audio setting dialog box of your ASIO-compatible software, and
select
[PCR-A ASIO1.0 16bit]
as the
ASIO Device
.
ASIO
(Steinberg Audio
Stream In/Out Interface)
This is an audio interface
standard promoted by the
Steinberg Corporation.
When the PCR-A30 is used
with ASIO-compatible
software, the
synchronization precision
will be improved, allowing
a more sophisticated music
production environment.
The PCR-A30 cannot play back audio data from the Macintosh’s sound
manager (such as audio CDs and alert sounds).
If your ASIO-compatible software supports ASIO 2.0 or recording/
playback of 24 bit audio data, using the following drivers will provide a
higher quality environment.
