The Audiophile 2496’s break-out cable also includes MIDI I/O connectors.
Provided are one input and one output for use with external MIDI equipment, such
as sound modules and drum machines.  The MIDI I/O may also be used to
synchronize your computer to external devices via MIDI time code. 

Within the Audiophile’s PCI chip is a hardware digital mixer.  Controlled by the
included Delta Control Panel software, it may handle all of your routing needs, give
you extra control of all left, right and stereo levels, in addition to control of pans,
solos and mutes. The Delta Control Panel also lets you manipulate copy protection
and other status bits in the S/PDIF output signal.  In addition it allows you to
configure the Audiophile’s internal clock as a master, or slave it to an incoming

S/PDIF sample rate.
