User manual E-MU 1616M QUICK START

[. . . ] Here are some procedures you can follow when handling electronic devices in order to minimize the possibility of causing electrostatic damage: · Avoid any unnecessary movement, such as scuffing your feet when handling electronic devices, since most movement can generate additional charges of static electricity. Keep it in its static-free package until needed. Transport or store the board only in its protective package. ⷠWhen handling a PCI card, avoid touching its connector pins. [. . . ] Choose "Continue Anyway" when you encounter the "Windows Logo Testing" warning screen. At times you may need to uninstall or reinstall some or all of the audio card's applications and device drivers to correct problems, change configurations, or upgrade outdated drivers or applications. Before you begin, close all audio card applications. Applications still running during the uninstallation will not be removed. Select the E-MU 1010 PCI card entry, or the application entry and then click the Add/Remove (or Change/Remove) button. You may now re-install existing or updated E-MU 1010 PCI card device drivers or applications. The E-MU 1010 PCI card is the heart of the system and contains E-MU's powerful E-DSP chip. The powerful hardware DSP on this card leaves more power free on your CPU for additional software plug-ins and other tasks. This cable provides a two-way data link between the E-MU 1010 and the MicroDock. Each RCA phono jack carries two channels of digital audio. S/PDIF digital I/O can be used for the reception and/or transmission of digital data from external digital devices such as a DAT machine, an external analog-to-digital converter or an external signal processor equipped with digital inputs and outputs. The embedded clock contained in the input data stream can be used as a clock source for the 1010. The S/PDIF out can be configured in either Professional or Consumer mode, always with 24-bits of resolution. The embedded clock contained in the input data stream can be used as a clock source for the 1010. The ADAT optical ports can also be switched to carry optical S/PDIF . ADAT can also be transmitted and received at 96kHz or 192kHz using the S/MUX standard which encodes the extra data onto multiple channels. The I/O daughter card provides one pair of 24-bit balanced analog inputs and one pair of 24-bit balanced analog outputs, plus MIDI in and out. The I/O daughter card provides the analog inputs, outputs, and MIDI interface for E-MU digital audio systems which don't include the MicroDock. The I/O Daughter card takes up one extra space on the back panel of your computer, and connects to the E-MU 1010 PCI card via an internal 40-pin ribbon cable. The inputs can be connected to any line level stereo signal from a keyboard, CD-player, cassette deck, etc. The outputs can feed any line level input such as a mixing board, the auxiliary input on your stereo, or a set of powered speakers. Either TRS balanced or TS unbalanced cables can be used. [. . . ] The MIDI drivers were installed when you installed your Patchmix DSP software and the MIDI ports will appear in your system control panel under "Sounds and Audio Devices". These line level outputs are designed for easy interface to powered computer speakers. The optional Sync Daughter card provides Word Clock in and out, SMPTE (LTC) in and out and an additional MIDI output for transmitting MIDI Time Code (MTC). MTC is a special rendering of SMPTE that can be transmitted over MIDI cables. [. . . ]
