Getting Ready to Use the U-8
■
Making Audio and MIDI Settings in Windows
This section explains the settings according to your computing setup for
how the sounds that Windows outputs (warning beeps and audio output
from Media Player or the like) are handled.
fig.12-10.e
You can make the settings so that the
sequencer audio and
sound from
Windows are both output with the U-8, but when you do this, operation is
as follows.
• Playback of audio data with a sampling frequency of other than 44.1
kHz (such as the default warning sounds in Windows) may not be
possible.
• Because high-volume audio data is used for warning sounds, when they
are output together with the sequencer’s audio data, the volume may be
very loud.
• While using the U-8’s audio with Cubasis VST U-8, warning sounds
may not be heard, or effects may be applied to warning sounds, or
warning sounds may be produced from the computer’s internal sound
card.
Issues like the ones just described don’t occur for audio input or MIDI
output. Follow the steps on the next page to make the settings that
correspond to your computing setup.

When outputting
and
from the U-8, you need
to specify wave files with a
sampling frequency of 44.1
kHz for all warning sounds
in Windows (From
Control
Panel
, double-click
Sounds
, then use the
Sounds Properties
dialog
box to make the settings).
For more information, refer
to the help or
documentation of
Windows.
