Buffer Size
Buffer Size*
The buffer size can be set from 32 to 8192 samples.
The higher the buffer setting, the longer latency through
Digital Konnekt x32. You should only increase the buffer
size if you experience problems such a clicks and pops
in the sound. Note that clicks and pops in the sound may
also derive from clock problems. These should be
resolved first.
* Setting the buffer size via the TC Near control panel
is relevant for the PC version only. On Mac
computers buffer size is set in the audio application.
For instance in Logic Pro go to: Audio/Hardware
drivers to set the buffer size.
System Clock
Clock Master
With the Clock Master parameter you select which of the
Konnekts in your setup units that should act as system
Clock Master.
In a digital setup, it is important that all connected
devices run at the same sample rate. The Clock Master
device defines this sample rate, and distributes a digital
clock based on this sample rate to all devices in the
setup. There can be one, and only one clock master in a
digital setup, and you cannot select your computer here.
However, the Clock Master device may sync to an
external device. See “Sync Source” below.
Sync Source
The Sync Source parameter determines to which the
device the Clock Master should sync. The DICE II
FireWire chip provides excellent clock and in many
setups the “internal” option is the best choice. However,
you may sync to any digital device attached to the Digital
Konnekt x32 digital inputs and enjoy the outstanding
JetPLL jitter rejection technology also provided by the
DICE II.
Sample Rate
If Sync Source is set to “Internal”, the sample rate must
be set. The options are:
44.1 kHz
48 kHz
88.2 kHz
96 kHz
176.4 kHz
192 kHz
The sample rate is typically set by your host application.
If you e.g. play a 44.1 kHz project the sample rate
automatically shifts to 44.1 kHz. If you later load and play
a 48 kHz song, the sample rate shifts to 48 kHz.
Though Konnekt receives information about the sample
rate it still provides the actual digital clock.
