System ClockingMaster ClockWhen configured with an IF-FW/DM, the DM-24must be the master clock relative to the computerDAW. The DM-24 itself may be clocked to anexternal source other than the DAW.Clock SettingsIf it becomes necessary to switch between 44.1kand 48k sample rates on the DM-24, the follow-ing steps are required for correct operation:1. Disconnect the FireWire cable between the IF-FW/DM and your computer.2. Change the sample rate on the DM-24.3. Re-connect the FireWire cable.NOTE: 30 seconds must elapse between discon-nection and reconnection of the FireWire cable.96k & 88.2k OperationAt the time of this writing, the IF-FW/DM doesnot support high sample rate mode.IF-FW/DM & DM-24 RoutingThe IF-FW/DM appears to the DM-24 just likeany other optional I/O card except that it has 24channels of I/O instead of 8.Mixer OutputsBy default, the DM-24 duplicates busses 1 - 8 onIF-FW/DM mixer outputs 1 - 8, 9 - 16, and 17 -24.Also available are the Direct Outputs from chan-nels 1 - 16 on the DM-24. By default, thoseappear on IF-FW/DM mixer outputs 1 - 16.These routing settings can be changed in theOutput tab of the DM-24's I/O screen.Mixer InputsThe IF-FW/DM's mixer inputs must be config-ured in banks of 8 in the CH1-16 IN and CH17-32 IN tabs of the DM-24's I/O screen.For 24 channel operation:• Set RETURN CH1-8 to A:SLOT1, Trk1-8,FW 1-8• Set RETURN CH9-16 to B:SLOT1, Trk9-16,FW 9-16• Set RETURN CH17-24 to A:SLOT1, Trk17-24, FW 17-24Set the INPUT SOURCE to RETURN6Setup
