RPC-1 Control Panel

5. Monitor Mixer page

You can use the 

Monitor Mixer

 to mix the input/output into 

two channels and record or monitor it. Mixing is performed 
within the RPC-1, and does not burden the CPU.

Level meter

: This shows the pre-fader level.

Faders

: Adjust the amount sent to Master.

Solo

: Solo ON/OFF

Mute

: Track mute ON/OFF

Stereo Link

: Stereo link ON/OFF

Master Volume

: Adjust the amount of Master

The settings here, such as fader and mute, do not affect the 

R-BUS In

WavOut

 devices

By default, all inputs of the 

RPC-1 Monitor Mixer

 are muted.

6. Patchbay/Router page

Select the R-BUS output source. 

“WavOut,”

 

“R-BUS In”

 will 

be selected. Normally select 

“WavOut.”

 For 

“R-BUS Out 1/

2”

 you can select 

“Monitor Mixer.”

7. Hardware Settings page

In this page you can make various settings for the RPC-1.

Master Clock

 Select the master clock.

Int. Clock

: The RPC-1 will be the 

word clock master

. In 

this case, set the connected R-BUS device (or other RPC-1 
unit) as the 

slave

.

Ext. Clock

: The RPC-1 will be the 

word clock slave

 

(synchronize to another R-BUS device or another RPC-1 
unit.) In this case, set the other R-BUS device (or the 
other RPC-1 unit) as the 

master

.

Int.Clock Sample Rate

: Select the sampling frequency 

used when 

Master Clock

 is set to 

Int. Clock

.

Reset Rate When Idle

: If this is checked, the sampling 

frequency will return to the value that's been selected in 
the control panel after the device is released by the 
software.

Ext. Clock Sample Rate

: Select the sampling frequency 

used when 

Master Clock

 is set to 

Ext. Clock

.Only the 

sampling frequency selected here can be used by the 
software.

If the master clock is set to 

Ext. Clock

, it is not possible to 

change the sampling frequency using the software.

DMA Buffer Size

Specify the buffer sizes for 

MME

 (Windows only), 

ASIO, 

and

 

Sound Manager

 (Macintosh only). The buffer size is closely 

related to latency, and latency will decrease as you decrease 
the buffer size.

Depending on the performance of your computer, the digital 
data may not be transmitted correctly if the buffer size is too 
small, and noise may occur. In such cases, increase the buffer 
size.

Depending on the software you are using, it may be 
necessary to set the buffer size within the software. For 
details, refer to the manual for the software you are using.

* The default buffer size values are as follows:

 

Windows 95/98/Me/NT

: Latency 20 ms

 

Windows 2000

 : Wave 10 ms, ASIO 2700 samples

 

Macintosh

ASIO

Sound Manager

 1 024 samples

Multi-Track Driver Devices (Windows95/98/
Me only)

 Specify how software will handle MME devices.

Single and In-Sync

: When using one software 

application to handle all MME devices 
simultaneously.This guarantees the synchronization of 
each MME device.

Independent

: When using separate software 

applications to handle each MME device.

Multiple Card Sync

: When using multiple RPC-1 units 

simultaneously for more reliability of synchronization.

Sound Manager I/O (Macintosh only)

 Select the R-BUS channel used by Sound Manager.

Disable Control of the Monitor Mixer and 
Patchbay/Router by Audio 
Applications(Windows95/98/Me only)

Check to disable control of the 

Monitor Mixer

 and 

patchbay/

Router

 by the applications.
