I'm got the asio drivers in SM093 to work. I already have my Audiophile 2496 card set up and working with a sample rate @ 44,100 and a DMA buffer size latency of 784. I use the card regularly for vsti's in Cubase SX 2.2, Chainer, Podium etc. as well as for dvd movies. So I know the card works! 🙂

Using the example synth in SM, I have an ASIO Out that replaces the Direct Sound out.

In order to play from my Midiman Radium 61 keyboard, I have to keep the MIDI In, right? Makes sense, but that got me wondering-when would you use Asio in? for vst effects?

Or Midi In then ASIO in but only for fx?

Think I'm getting myself confused here! lol!

TIA for any explanations or help.

You are correct. You need to use ASIO Out, and Midi In for VSTis and ASIO In/ASIO Out for VST effects. Try to lower the buffer size, 784 is quite large, try 256 or 128. 784 will give you ~18 ms latency. ik.

Thanks for the confirmation. 🙂

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
