Direct Monitor is ON, Local Control is ON, MIDI SYNC options are set to the INTERNAL clock. When Standalone is selected the MONTAGE is "back to normal" for use without a computer. The graphic shows both the AUDIO SIGNAL FLOW and the MIDI SIGNAL FLOW through the system. STANDALONE - Use this for when playing the MONTAGE without a computer. Quick Setup #3: AUDIO REC on DAW - used when you wish to record audio data via Montage's 32-bus audio output system.Įach of the three will have a separate article with example, briefly: Quick Setup #2: ARP REC on DAW - used when arpeggiators are active and you wish to capture the MIDI data generated by the arpeggios. Quick Setup #1: MIDI REC on DAW - used when you are doing normal recording on an external DAW, like Cubase. We'll explain each as we go.īasically, there is the normal setup, appropriately named " Standalone" for use when using the Montage without a computer. These templates can make the required settings for you in one operation (including MONTAGE Clocking options). This can vary from project to project and even within the project. Here you can create the type of routing scenario you need. While here in > "Settings" area touch the "Quick Setups" option. The key is to not have to worry about latency at all. You can verify the recording during playback. Latency is the delay introduced in any digital system that must process the signal Direct Monitoring is routing scheme that allows you to listen to the signal that is routed directly to the speakers, avoiding entirely the signal sent through the DAW to be recorded. You normally opt to avoid being 'downwind' of the signal that must travel through the computer. When you are playing and recording the Montage or you are singing or playing a guitar into a microphone, you will typically opt to monitor (listen) to yourself DIRECT (zero latency). Importantly, you have audio OUTPUT level settings for the Main L&R (analog), Assign L&R (analog), the USB Main, and the assignable USB 1-30.ĭIRECT MONITOR - The MONTAGE acts as an audio interface for your computer. If nothing is plugged in, please leave this set to LINE level. Set this according the item plugged into the A/D INPUT jacks. Also found on this screen is the A/D (or Analog-to-Digital) Input setting. If you opt to switch configurations, the change only occurs after you reboot. Above we are set to 16 Stereo bus outputs at 44.1kHz (24-bit). Making a change to the AUDIO I/O Mode requires a restart of the MONTAGE. Touch the "Audio I/O" option and let's take a look at the audio record setup screen (the Signal Flow diagram updates with the selections you make): On the MONTAGE, navigate to the MIDI I/O screen You must connect the main L&R analog audio outputs of your Montage to the speaker system you are going to use (or monitor through headphones).

This system setup does not use the computer's own sound system. This assumes that your Montage is connected to a pair of high quality monitor speakers.

The MONTAGE via USB becomes both a MIDI and AUDIO interface for itself and one external device. And while there are minor differences in the screenshots between Mac and PC, again the function is the same in both.
