Thanks Pedro.
Oddly enough, in Audition I only have the option for "Saffire Audio", nothing about ASIO, thus I'm not able to output each track to a different channel (same problem as in Pd).
However I can do it with AudioMulch (with all channels).
I'm confused. If it would be a driver issue, it shouldn't work in Audio Mulch.
mm..I will check ASIO and related..
do you have any idea?

many thanks,

M

For example:


In Audition can you output with the ASIO driver with all channels? That's a way to debug the issue... I have a MOTU Ultralite mk3 (which has no FFADO support still for Linux) so I use it under Pd on Win XP, ASIO works fine and I always use "MOTU ASIO" as the output then the dac object allows me to select a mulitudee of channels like: [dac~ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8]

Try "ASIO saffire" inside audition, create a multichannel with sine waves and output each track to a different channel, check if it works that way. Maybe its just a misconfigured ASIO (reinstall the saffire drivers could do the trick).

Best of luck,
Pedro

hello,
I just got a saffire pro 40. I'm testing it on windows atm 'cause FFADO driver works but it's still unstable on linux.

In Pd output/input 1-2 work properly, but there is no way I can get the others working.

I tried both MMIO (also with "multiple device"), and ASIO. No luck.
Selecting ASIO I have two options:

- (0)SaffireAudio: works fine only with 2 I/O selected. When I change the I/O to anything more than 2 sound stops working.
- (1)ASIO Saffire: no sound at all.

It looks like a problem with Portaudio/Pd..
All I/O work properly with AudioMulch, Wavelab, and Audition.

Any hint?
thanks in advance..
I have to prepare two installations for Mid May... 
:(


p.s. Also tried to put the same number of I/O as suggested by Derek here http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-list@iem.at/msg20738.html
and found this other thread http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-list@iem.at/msg27160.html but in that case the problem was not solved.
