FE­8 Support
Version 1.10 drivers support the FE­8 channel strip expander unit. Below is a screen shot
of the FE­8 tab in the Windows control panel. The Mac version is the same.
The order in which multiple FE­8s are reported to a DAW can be changed in this tab by
clicking an FE­8 Name Assignment and using the Move Up or Move Down buttons at the
bottom. When clicking the Identify button, the highlighted FE­8 will flash its FireWire
(1394) LED.
It makes later FE­8 assignment easier (if more than one FE­8 is connected) if they are
renamed at this point. Many users, for example, will want to rename the FE­8s to reflect
their physical position on the work surface (for example: “FE­8 Left, FE­8 Right”). After
renaming, the FE­8s must have their power cycled, then the new names will appear in the
DAW for easy assignment. (In Windows, names entered in this dialog also become the
names of the MIDI device names available to your audio applications.)
