• Please note that the IF-FW/DM MKII must be connected by itself on a FireWire bus. More than one FireWire connector on a computer does not mean each connector has its own bus. More often, all connectors go to the same bus on the computer. If you require additional FireWire devices, it is necessary to add a FireWire card, thus adding a separate bus, for those devices. Configuring the Computer Macintosh TASCAM driver software is required in order for Mac OSX to recognize the IF-FW/

Detailed Description CARD Status This can display one of the following: “OK”, “OK (Backup)”, “Not Ready” or “Booting …” OK The IF-FW/DM MKII is running. OK (Backup) The IF-FW/DM MKII is running from its safety boot feature.

Illegal FS The Mixer specified an unsupported sampling frequency. Since the IF-FW/DM MKII supports all of the sampling frequencies that the DM-3200 and DM- 4800 supports, this might indicate a hardware problem. No Cable There is no physical connection being detected between the IF-FW/DM MKII and the computer, the cable is likely to be unplugged at one end. Driver Offline The IF-FW/DM MKII is connected physically to the computer, but no compatible driver is available. Driver Not Locke

Output This allows restricting the number of channels being sent to the computer to 16 for reduced host load, or setting the full channel count of 32. Especially at high sampling rates, if you don’t need the full 32 channel count from the mixer to the computer for your project, you will get better performance from your computer by setting this to 16. (Note) Before changing this setting, be sure that no audio applications are running, and no sound is being played back through the IF-FW/D

Audio The IF-FW/DM MKII only presents some of its channels to the Windows XP built in audio manager. This allows you to route audio from a non-DAW application such as Windows Media Player to your mixer. The IF-FW/DM MKII Control Panel (described later) has controls to enable this function and also lets you choose which of the 32 channels the WDM audio is sent through. To enable this in Windows, first navigate to Start Control Panel Sounds and Audio Devices Audio Tab and select “IF-

Panel Sounds and Audio Devices Sounds Tab Alternatively, divide WDM and ASIO use, e.g. using channel 31 and 32 for WDM still leaves you with 30 channels of ASIO audio, and a pair of faders on the mixer can be dedicated to WDM audio for those times you want to use Windows Media Player or Apple iTunes to audition compressed audio files. MIDI All DAWs can use the WDM MIDI ports. The IF-FW/DM MKII publishes a single MIDI input and output pair to Windows for the physical MIDI ports on
