Mac OSX Control Panel
Accessing the FW­1884 Control Panel in Mac OSX
The FW­1884 Manager application, located in the Applications folder, launches the FW­
1884 Control Panel.
While the Control Panel tabs for Settings, Routing and MIDI Programming are the same
between Windows, Mac OS9 and Mac OSX, Mac OSX adds the Core Audio tab shown
below. Here it is possible to configure how many I/O channels the FW­1884 presents to
the computer. On slower systems, it may be necessary to set this as a 2­Channel or 8­
Channel Sound Device for good performance. See the note above about Mac system
requirements.
Note: Changing this setting will restart the FW­1884 in order to configure its systems.
No data (audio/MIDI/control) will pass through the device while it is restarting.
