PHASE X24 (English)
The ASIO panel
To open the ASIO panel, click the “ASIO” button (on the bottom left side of the PHASE
Control Panel). Use the slider to adjust the latency (i.e. the delay between striking a key or
a MIDI event and the output of the sound). If the value is too low (and the sample rate too
high), this will negatively affect the performance of your overall system—a more powerful
computer will support a lower latency setting. With a fast system, you should achieve
values of less than 5ms at 96kHz without problems. “Without problems” means that you
will not detect any dropouts during audio recording or playback. If such dropouts occur,
increase the latency. Further options are generally available on the relevant panels of
ASIO applications such as Cubase, Wavelab etc.
Colors
When it comes to the design of the PHASE Control Panel, we like things to be clean and
functional. We don't want to force anything onto you, however—feel free to brighten your
screen with the Color Panel. This section contains a number of truly useful settings that
not only beautify your PHASE Control Panel, but which improve the overview of its
display:
