To open the control panel double click on the ESI icon in the task notification area. The following
dialog will appear:
The panel has the following functions and sections:
INPUT

applications. The pair of mono faders can be controlled together or individually depending on your
mouse position – perfect for stereo signals. The

4.1 Latency settings
Via
Config > Latency
in the Control Panel it is possible to change the latency setting (also called
“buffer size”) for the driver of U22 XT. A smaller latency is the result of a smaller buffer size and
value. Depending on the typical application (e.g. for playback of software synthesizers) a smaller
latency is an advantage. At the same time, the best latency setting indirectly depends on the
performance of your system. For recording applications, a typical latency buffer size between 4 and
8ms is standard, a value displayed typically inside your audio application. Note that the latency has
to be setup before launching the audio application using U22 XT.
