In this field you can adjust the latency buffer size you wish to work with. Smaller buffer sizes result in lower latency (“latency” refers
to the time it takes for your input signal to pass through your audio software and appear at the outputs), but smaller buffers may
not function well with slower systems. The default buffer size setting is 256. This setting may adequately serve your purposes, but if
you wish to, you can experiment with lower settings. If you experience any stuttering or crackling in your audio signal playback, try
selecting a larger buffer size. A general rule of thumb is that you want the smallest buffer setting possible for recording and the largest
buffer setting available for mixing.
NOTE
: This section does not apply to Mac OS X, and will not appear if you are running that operating system. However, most Mac DAW
applications do allow you to define a preferred buffer setting in the application. It has the same effect as the adjustment described above.

Presets are saved on the computer as MIDI SYSEX files (.syx). These files can be named like any other file in the Windows or
Mac OS. Be aware that the name of the file on the computer has nothing to do with the name of the file in the Black Box.
The Black Box has its own naming convention described on page 24 in this manual. When you click the OK button for the
Import Preset, a browser window appears allowing you to select the proper preset file. Once the file is selected and you
click OK, the selected preset is loaded into the current Black Box Preset location. This will replace the previously loaded
preset in the Black Box.
NOTE
: If that preset was not already backed up to the computer, that preset will be lost forever.
