9. Operation under ASIO
9.1 General
Start the ASIO software and select
ASIO Fireface USB
as the audio I/O device or the audio
driver.
The Fireface 802 supports
ASIO Direct Monitoring
(ADM).
The Fireface 802 MIDI I/O can be used with both MME MIDI and DirectMusic MIDI.
9.2 Channel Count under ASIO
At a sample rate of 88.2 or 96 kHz, the ADAT optical input and outputs operate in S/MUX mode,
so the number of available channels per port is reduced from 8 to 4.
At a sample rate of 176.4 and 192 kHz, the ADAT optical input and output operates in S/MUX4
mode, so the number of available channels is limited to 2.
Note: When changing the sample rate range between Single, Double and Quad Speed the
number of channels presented from the ASIO driver will change too. This may require a reset of
the I/O list in the audio software.
