M-Audio DELTA 44 [10/39] Delta system overview

Verifying Delta Control Panel Software

Installation

In Windows, open the Windows Control Panel (do so via Start | Settings | Control

Panel ). If your Delta 44 hardware and Delta Control Panel software are properly

installed, the Windows Control Panel should display an “M Audio Delta H/W” icon.

By double-clicking on that icon, you may launch the Delta Control Panel software.

Also for convenience, you may create a shortcut on your desktop by dragging a copy

of the “M Audio Delta H/W” icon from the Control Panel to your Windows desktop

using your mouse or trackball. After completing the drag operation, a dialog box

will ask you if you wish to create a shortcut — click on ‘Yes’. Once the shortcut is

installed, all you have to do is double-click on the shortcut icon on your desktop to

launch the Delta Control Panel software.

On the Macintosh, the Delta Control Panel may be placed anywhere on your hard

drive, or any partition of your hard drive that you find convenient. Once the control

panel file has been dragged from the CD onto your hard drive, you may double click

it to launch the Delta Control Panel software. You may create a alias to the control

panel by highlighting it, then holding Apple key+M. This alias can then be placed

on your desktop.

NOTE: When using a music software program that is ASIO

capable, launch the Delta Control Panel software from within that

program. Some of the control panel functions will be controlled

from within that program, such as master clock setting and

sample rate, so it is desireable to launch the music program first,

and then the Delta Control Panel from the the program’s “launch”

or “control panel” button. Without the music program open

however, it is okay to open the Delta panelfrom your desktop or

otherlocation.

available. Selecting the ‘+4’ radio button configures the channel(s) for use with

professional mixers. Selecting the ‘-10’ setting sets up the channel(s) for -

10dBV nominal signal levels, commonly used with consumer equipment such

as CD, MiniDisc, cassette tape and DAT players. The ‘Consumer’ setting is
