Q:
MOTU Issue: Studio Vision Pro or Vision DSP with MOTU Audio Interfaces
 
A:
These are basic instructions to help get you started with Studio Vision Pro or Vision DSP while using MOTU Audio interfaces.

From the AudioDesk Installer, you can choose Custom Install. Select the PCI-324 ASIO driver and it will be installed to the ASIO Drivers folder in your Vision Folder.

Open the PCI-324 Console. Set the Clock source to Internal ( when working with analog). Pick a sample rate. Assign one bank to Analog. Enable all 8 inputs. Then assign the output source as "From Computer". If "Enable Routing" is unchecked you will not see the extra menus for inputs and outputs and we enable the inputs and outputs for you. For additional connections with digital devices you can refer to your 2408 manual as well as the Auto Setup Wizard for further instructions. For now, this basic configuration will get you going.

In the Audio Menu of Vision you should choose the Acadia System under "Audio System", in the Audio Menu. Then under Hardware Setup, choose PCI-324 as your driver. You can also choose the Clock Source and Sample Rate in this window.

Next you will have to go to the "Audio Instruments" Window and enable the inputs and outputs that you will be using in Vision. Under the "Record Monitor", you can choose an input as well as monitor the input level. You are now ready to assign inputs and outputs for the 2408 in your mixing window.

We recommend downloading OMS 2.3.6 or higher from Opcode's web site if you do not have the latest version of OMS installed. Otherwise, you may encounter MIDI timing problems when "Process Ahead"(located in the Buffer Size setting dialog) is unchecked.
