Topic: Totalmix showing 64 channels in 56ch MADI mode

Is there a way to display only 56 channels for HDSPe MADI?

HDSPe driver 2.76
Mac Pro, SL 10.6.6

No, as the other channels are still there and can be used (input routing or loopback).

Re: Totalmix showing 64 channels in 56ch MADI mode

Hi Matthias,

for making me understand better: What is the reason that stream inputs/outputs are identical in count to the physical inputs/outputs?

Is the hardware capability (the FPGA) designed to offer the same number of streams as physical IOs?

In theory there would be no need to have this numbers equal, right? If I understand right, as Totalmix is sitting in between the number of streams COULD be different to the number of physical IOs.

Cheers
Axel

Of course. But it eats resources and is not necessary, especially with the latest multi-client playback mixing drivers.
