KORG MONOPOLY POLYSIX MS-20 - Manual (Page 10)

Installation/Setup guide

“Sample Size”
Specify the number of samples in one buffer. Higher settings will make operation
more stable, but latency will be higher.
Mac
“Bits/Rate/Channel”
Select the audio format you will use. The choices will depend on the device you
selected as the “Output Device.”
“Output Channel”
If you selected “ Built-in audio controller ” as the “Output Device,” the only
available setting will be Output 1/Output 2 . If audio interface is installed in
your computer, you will have other choices.
Note: Only for the MS-20’s audio settings, “Input Channels” will appear in the
screen, allowing you to specify audio channels for input. This will always be a pair
of channels, such as 1–2 or 3–4. The available settings will depend on the device
you selected for “Driver.”
“Buffer Size”
Specify the size of the audio processing buffer. Higher settings will make opera-
tion more stable, but latency will be higher.
“Latency”
This indicates the latency. The latency will depend on the “Buffer Size” setting.
Latency is the time from when the computer receives a note-on message until
sound is produced. Latency is determined by “the number of samples” x “the
number of buffers.” You should set the buffer size in a way that minimizes latency
while preserving stable operation.
Note: The “Latency” value is determined by the buffer size. You should set “Buffer
Size” to the lowest setting for which operation is stable.
Note: For details on how to make settings for your audio interface, refer to the
owner’s manual for your audio interface.
MIDI settings
1 Click the “MIDI Setting” tab.
The various port settings will appear.
2 For MIDI IN devices 1, 2, and 3, select the device that you will use for each port.
You can use up to three MIDI IN devices simultaneously. Normally, the input
from these devices will all be merged. If a multi-port device is connected, this
screen may show two or more ports on the same device.
3 In the “Clock Master” field, select the device that will be the MIDI clock master.
If you don’t select a device, the internal clock will always be used. When the soft-
ware instrument is operating as a plug-in, the clock of the host application will
always be used.
If the device you want to use does not appear in the selection for each port, check
the following points.
