Synching Muyltiple M-Audio Delta Cards
Syncing multiple M-Audio Delta Series Cards in one computer.
This one is for the files. It seems to me that more and more people will be looking for info about how to synchronize multiple M-Audio Delta series cards in the future. It's not that easy to find, right now. I had the problem, but the documentation that came with the cards, as well as google web and newsgroup searching came up empty. Ironically, there are virtually 100's of instances of sales blurbs trumpeting this feature, but very few descriptions of how to actually do it. For example: http://www.midiman.net/products/m-audio/delta.php "Flexibility in combining and syncing multiple cards" *All* of the Delta card documentation I just downloaded from their web site that I examined (Delta 44, 66, DIO2496, AP 2496, 1010, 1010lt, etc.) lacks this critical paragraph. I finally found it by going through the documentation for the entire product line. Unfortunately the Delta 44 lacks SP/DIF I/O and can't synchronize with other cards. Here's how to sync multiple Delta cards in the same computer: http://www.midiman.net/support/manua...410_manual.pdf "The selection "Multi-card Sync " will remain grayed out until a second Delta PCI card (of which there are a variety) is installed in the system.When you wish to synchronize two (or more,up to four) Delta cards,select Multi-card Sync on the second and successive cards. Then,select S/PDIF as your master clock,and connect the S/PDIF output of the first card to the S/PDIF input of the second card,etc.This ensures that when the application goes into record or playback,it waits until all audio ports are open before it commences with recording or playback of audio." Hopefully, it will now will take others a lot less searching to find this information about how to synch multiple Midiman Delta sound cards. Obviously, M-Audio needs to update *every* Delta-series PDF file on their web site so they contain this critical information about using more than one Delta cards in the same computer. |
