System Clocking
Master Clock
When configured with an IF-FW/DM, the DM-24
must be the master clock relative to the computer
DAW. The DM-24 itself may be clocked to an
external source other than the DAW.
Clock Settings
If it becomes necessary to switch between 44.1k
and 48k sample rates on the DM-24, the follow-
ing steps are required for correct operation:
1. Disconnect the FireWire cable between the IF-
FW/DM and your computer.
2. Change the sample rate on the DM-24.
3. Re-connect the FireWire cable.
NOTE: 30 seconds must elapse between discon-
nection and reconnection of the FireWire cable.
96k & 88.2k Operation
At the time of this writing, the IF-FW/DM does
not support high sample rate mode.
IF-FW/DM & DM-24 Routing
The IF-FW/DM appears to the DM-24 just like
any other optional I/O card except that it has 24
channels of I/O instead of 8.
Mixer Outputs
By default, the DM-24 duplicates busses 1 - 8 on
IF-FW/DM mixer outputs 1 - 8, 9 - 16, and 17 -
24.
Also available are the Direct Outputs from chan-
nels 1 - 16 on the DM-24. By default, those
appear on IF-FW/DM mixer outputs 1 - 16.
These routing settings can be changed in the
Output tab of the DM-24's I/O screen.
Mixer Inputs
The IF-FW/DM's mixer inputs must be config-
ured in banks of 8 in the CH1-16 IN and CH17-
32 IN tabs of the DM-24's I/O screen.
For 24 channel operation:
•
Set RETURN CH1-8 to A:SLOT1, Trk1-8,
FW 1-8
•
Set RETURN CH9-16 to B:SLOT1, Trk9-16,
FW 9-16
•
Set RETURN CH17-24 to A:SLOT1, Trk17-
24, FW 17-24
Set the INPUT SOURCE to RETURN
