Working with Third Party Applications
The LynxTWO supports file types with 8, 16, 24, or 32 bit word widths. Note that 32-
bit files contain 24-bit data with zero data in the least significant bit positions.
The LynxTWO Mixer application displays the currently selected bit depth for each
device just above the device name in the Record window and the Play window.
Simultaneous Device and Multitrack Operation
The sixteen audio devices of the LynxTWO operate completely independent in terms
of whether they are in recording or playback modes and their associated audio files.
This implies that the devices can operate simultaneously and support the so-called
“full-duplex” mode where, for instance, the LynxTWO Record 1 device is recording
while the LynxTWO Play 1 device is playing.
Although the devices act independently, when multiple devices are being used to record
or play multiple audio files simultaneously, the LynxTWO driver has the capability to
synchronously start all devices with sample accuracy. This is especially important for
maintaining synchronization during playback of multiple devices and overdubbing.
By using all of the record and play devices, sixteen track recording and playback is
possible. Again, control of this multi-channel operation is simply a matter of device
selection in any compatible multitrack audio application.
