General Purpose Line Outputs (TRS Balanced).
These are general purpose line-level outputs. Line
Outputs 1 & 2 are typically your computer’s audio playback. All six Line Outputs can be accessed by
your computer and can be used for separate mixes, surround sound, additional speakers, external effects
processors, etc.
NOTE: By default, the General Purpose Outputs are DAW Playback 1-6 streams from your computer.
However, the FireControl has final control over their audio sources.
o
Main Output (TRS Balanced).
Outputs 1 & 2 should be used as your Main Outputs left and
right. Unless otherwise specified, most DAW applications will default configure to use device
outputs 1 & 2 as the main output for the application.
•
Power Adaptor Input.
This is where you plug the provided IEC power cable into the FireStudio Tube.
•
FireWire Ports.
There are two standard 6-pin FireWire ports on the back of the FireStudio Tube.
Either (and only one) should be used to connect your FireStudio Tube to a vacant FireWire port on your
computer. If your computer has a 4-pin connector (commonly found on laptops), you will need a 4 to 6-
pin connector to connect your FireStudio Tube to your computer.
Use the ‘extra’ FireWire port to connect additional FireWire devices in such as external Hard Drives.
•
MIDI Breakout Cable connection.
This is where you connect your MIDI breakout cable. MIDI stands
for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface”. However, the MIDI standard goes well beyond just
instrumentation and sequencing. The MIDI inputs and outputs on the breakout cable allow connection
and/or communication with external MIDI equipment. One function of this port is MIDI programming.
These can also be used for MMC (MIDI Machine Control) and MTC (MIDI Time Code).
NOTE:
MIDI is not audio
but is frequently used to trigger or control an audio source (such as a VST
plugin or synthesizer). When using MIDI, ensure your MIDI data is correctly sent and received
by the appropriate hardware or software instruments. You may also need to return those
devices’ audio to the FireStudio Tube. Please consult the User’s Manual of your MIDI devices
for help with MIDI setup and usage.
