### About the items in the Settings dialog box

Device Selection
  Selects which unit's mixer will be shown when two STUDIO-CAPTURE units are connected.
SAMPLE RATE
  Displays the present sample rate.
  To change the sample rate, select a sample rate from the menu.

  * | During playback or recording, or when equipment is connected to the digital input jack, the sample rate cannot be changed.
  * | If you use an application with an audio equipment test function, after changing the sample rate, carry out a test.
  * | When the sampling rate is switched, a small pop noise may be heard, but this does not indicate a malfunction.

CLOCK
  Displays the present clock source.

> INTERNAL | Indicates the internal clock is operating.
> EXTERNAL | Indicates the clock is operating in synchronism with the equipment connected to the digital input jack. *The sample rate of the input digital signal is also displayed.

Audio Buffer Size
  You can adjust the audio input/output buffer size. (By default, this will be the sixth position from the left.)
  Decreasing the buffer size will shorten the latency and improve realtime performance, but might make it more likely that you will experience audio clicks and pops, depending on your computer's processing power and the song data load.
  Increasing the buffer size will lengthen the latency, but will make audio streaming more stable, and it will be less likely for audio clicks and pops to occur.
  In general, you'll probably want to decrease the buffer size for better realtime performance if you're playing a software synthesizer in real time, or if you're monitoring an audio input that's being passed through your DAW software.
  Conversely, you can increase the buffer size to prevent audio clicks and pops if you're recording or playing back song data that contains numerous tracks and presents a heavy processing load.
  By changing the buffer size as appropriate for your situation, you can obtain the right balance between realtime performance and audio streaming stability.

  * Note!
  If you use an application with an audio equipment test function, after changing the buffer size, carry out a test.

ASIO Buffer Size
  This is the buffer size that can be set by the ASIO application.
"Use ASIO Direct Monitor" check box
  Check this if you are using the ASIO Direct Monitor function with an ASIO-compatible application.
"Low Latency mode" checkbox
  This lowers the latency of the ASIO driver.

  * | If you cannot play back or record or if the sound is interrupted, clear this checkbox and increase the "Audio Buffer Size."
  * | Since the latency increases if you are using Cakewalk SONAR in WDM/KS mode, clear this checkbox.
  * | This setting has no effect if you’re using two STUDIO-CAPTURE units (VS EXPAND).

"VS EXPAND" check box
  Select this check box if you’re using two STUDIO-CAPTURE units.
  If this check box is selected, the status of the connection will be shown.

  For details, refer to the owner's manual for the STUDIO-CAPTURE.
"Use Multichannel WDM Audio Port" check box
  If this check box is selected, you can use all audio channels via one WDM audio port.
  Check this if you are using Cakewalk software, such as SONAR, with WDM/KS mode.

  * | If this check box is selected, you cannot use the WDM audio ports as 2-channel (stereo) audio ports.
  * | The modified setting will take effect after you turn the power of the STUDIO-CAPTURE on/off.
