Solid State Logic MX4 - Manual (Page 17)

MADI Lock Status
In the Status section, the MADI-A and MADI-B input ports are shown as locked or unlocked.
A port is shown as locked if a valid MADI input signal is detected and clock synchronisation has been established. If a MADI
input signal is detected but clock synchronisation has not been established,
the displayed status alternates between Locked and Unlocked.
If no MADI input signal is detected, or if the MADI signal detected is not
valid, the port will be shown as unlocked. The later case might occur if 56-
channel mode is selected for the MX4 but the device connected to the port is
set to 64-channel mode.
Using the WDM/KS Drivers (Windows XP)
The WDM/KS drivers are loaded during log on. These drivers can be set up in
the Windows Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, Audio tab.
The individual inputs and outputs are always listed as pairs.
However, multichannel audio can be used.
Note that MadiXtreme n WDM (where ‘n’ is the unit number in a multi-card
system displayed in TRack and the Unit Configurator) must be selected as the
default audio device for sound playback.
The speaker configuration must be selected in the Advanced Audio Properties
window, which can be opened by clicking the Advanced button in the Sounds
and Audio Devices Properties window:
Multichannel compatible applications will output multichannel audio via the selected
group of streaming channels and according to the selected speaker configuration.
Using the Multimedia (MME) Drivers (Windows XP)
The legacy MME drivers are loaded during log on and are still available
for compatibility with certain applications:
The default setting is for multiple stereo input and output devices (i.e.,
one SSL MX4 = 64 x 2Ch devices). This setting however can be changed
in the Windows Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices dialogue:
• Click the Hardware tab
• Select Legacy Audio Drivers
• Double-click the Properties button to open the Legacy Audio Drivers
Properties window
• Click the Properties tab
• Expand Audio Devices
• Select Audio for Soundscape Multimedia
• Click the Properties button to open the Soundscape Multimedia
Properties window
• Click the Settings button and use the dialogue box to enter your choice
of configuration
