Appendix E: PureWave and SuperChannel59Appendix E: PureWave and SuperChannelNow you have only three wave devices – a six channel device addressing the firstsix analog outputs, a stereo device addressing the next two analog outs, and finallyan eight channel device for the eight digital outputs.This is the basic idea of SuperChannel – it allows you to optimally configure yourwave devices for your specific application.When would I want to use SuperChannel?SuperChannel is useful in the following situations:• You are using Cakewalk’s SONAR or some other application that supportsmultichannel wave devices. SONAR works more efficiently with amultichannel wave device than with multiple stereo wave devices. Werecommend that you decide how many output and input channels you wantto use from SONAR and then configure the wave devices accordingly.• You want to do surround sound playback from an application such asWindows Media Player, WinDVD, or PowerDVD. Please refer to thesurround sound setup example, below, for more information.• You want to hide channels that you aren’t using. This is especially useful onWindows 2000, where you can only have ten wave devices. SuperChannellets you collapse unused channels into a single wave device.SuperChannel has no effect on software that uses the ASIO or GSIF interfaces. Inaddition, SuperChannel is not supported for PureWave mode; there’s no real needfor it.
