OVERVIEW
The 8pre includes a GSIF driver that provides
multi-channel I/O with Tascam’s GigaStudio
family of virtual sampler products.

WHAT IS GSIF?
GSIF
is an acronym for
Giga Sampler Interface
. The
MOTU Audio driver allows the 8pre to provide
multi-channel audio input and output for the
Tascam GigaStudio family of products.
PREPARATION
Install GigaStudio first (if you haven’t already done
so), and then see these chapters before proceeding:
■
chapter 3, “IMPORTANT! Run the 8pre
Software Installer First” (page 15)
■
chapter 4, “Installing the 8pre Hardware”
RUN MOTU AUDIO SETUP
Before you run GigaStudio, launch MOTU Audio
Setup to configure your 8pre hardware. MOTU
Audio Setup lets you configure your audio
interface, and it lets you enable the optical inputs
and outputs. Only enabled inputs and outputs will
be available to GigaStudio, so this is an important
step. For complete details, see chapter 5, “MOTU
Audio Setup” (page 23).
Figure 9-1: MOTU Audio Setup gives you access to all of the settings in
the 8pre hardware, including the clock source, sample rate and
optical I/O enable/disable.
Sample rate
Choose the desired overall sample rate for the 8pre
system and GigaStudio. This should match the
sample rate at which you intend to operate
GigaStudio.
Clock Source
This setting is very important because it
determines which audio clock the 8pre will follow.
If you do not have any digital audio connections to
your 8pre (you are using the analog inputs and
outputs only), choose
Internal
.
If you have an ADAT optical digital audio device
connected to the 8pre, or if you are not sure about
the clock source of your setup, be sure to read
“Syncing optical devices” on page 22 and “Clock
Source” on page 24.
