Settings Panel overview

Windows Settings Panel

Mac Settings Panel

① Status display area

This shows the current status of the software.

Item displayed Meaning
Software Ver This is the software version.
Firmware Ver	This is the firmware version used by the connected unit.
Device	This is the name of the connected unit. ("No Device" is shown when no device is connected.)
Sample Rate	This shows the sampling frequency of the current song.If an SD card is not loaded, this shows the sampling frequency set by the computer.

② Buffer Size (Windows only)

You can adjust the size of the buffer used to handle the audio input and output signals transferred to and from the computer.

Smaller buffer sizes result in less audio signal delay (latency), but require high-speed processing by the computer.

If the processing cannot keep up, for example, due to other system operations, clicking and popping noises might occur and the audio signal might even drop out.

Increasing the buffer size will stabilize operation and suppress negative effects on audio signals, but the delay in audio signals sent to the computer will increase.

You can use the slider on the panel to adjust the buffer size for this unit according to the use conditions.
