USB INTERFACE MODE

In addition to functioning as a direct from USB 16-track player, the LP-16 has the ability, when

connected to your Mac®, PC, or iPad®, to operate as a 2-input, 18-output, 24 bit kHz USB class

compliant computer audio interface, running at 44.1 or 48kHz.

To operate the LP-16 as a computer audio interface, perform the following steps:

•

Make sure that there is no USB storage device connected to the front-panel USB storage

connector. If any drive is connected to the front panel USB port, the LP-16 will only operate

in standalone playback mode.

•

Connect one end of the included USB cable to the LP-16's rear panel USB port on one end,

and an available USB port of your Mac/PC on the other end

•

If using the LP-16 with an Ipad, connect the USB cable to the USB port of an: Apple Ipad

USB INTERFACE MODE

16.1. Using the LP-16 as an Audio Interface with Microsoft Windows

16.1.1. Minimum System Requirements

Operating Systems (32 or 64bit):

•

Windows® XP (SP2), Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8

•

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 (usually installed automatically by Windows update.)

•

For Windows versions where the .NET Framework 4.0 is not already installed, the

installation wizard will automatically start when the mixer / control panel is started for the

first time.)

•

The LP-16 device drivers do not require the .NET Framework.

Hardware:

•

Pentium® IV 1.2 GHz or better

•

512 MB Ram ( 1GB or more recommended)

•

1 free USB2.0 compatible port on PC

NOTE: The speed of your computer's processor, amount of RAM, and the capacity, size, and

speed of your hard drives will greatly affect the overall performance of your recording system.

A faster processor and more RAM can reduce signal latency (delay) and improve overall

performance.

16.1.2. WDM and ASIO Driver Installation

Before connecting the LP-16 to your PC, please download the driver package from

cymaticaudio.com/downloads.

After the download has finished:

•

Unzip the downloaded archive to a folder on your PC.

•

In the resulting folder, double click the "setup.exe" file and follow the on-screen instructions.

(It is strongly recommended that you exit all other programs before running the LP-16 driver

installation program)

•

When prompted by the installation program, connect the LP-16 to your PC by connecting

the supplied USB cable to the LP-16 USB 2.0 connector on the rear panel and an available

USB2.0 port on your PC.

16.2. LP-16 Mixer / Control Panel for PC

The LP-16 driver installer program will automatically install the LP-16 Mixer / Control panel on

your Windows PC.

You can launch it by clicking on the LP-16 icon that will be present in the Windows task bar, or by

locating the program's entry in the Windows start menu.

The Mixer control panel allows adjustment of the LP-16's internal DSP mixer. When connected

to a computer and operating as a USB interface, graphical control of the internal DSP mixer is

offered, for quicker and easier adjustments.

You can use the internal DSP mixer to generate a monitor mix that has a lower latency (delay)

when monitoring tracks you are recording, than is often possible when monitoring through your

DAW software.
