- motu828 and asio
ad 1)
- win2k
- pd 35 test 16
ad 2) i just tried to use 2 motu828 firewire-interfaces (with 8in/8out each) but only managed to get output from 8 channels. not necessarily from only one of the interfaces but for example 4out the first and 4 out the second. i wonder if i didn't set the flags right. i've tried at least 723 combinations. among them:
pd -inchannels 16 -outchannels 16 -soundindev 1,6 -soundoutdev 1,6 ... ..lets me use the 8 channels of the first interface
pd -inchannels 16 -outchannels 16 -soundindev 6,1 -soundoutdev 6,1 ... ..lets me use the 8 channels of the second interface
..-outchannels 8,8 ..doesn't help ..-soundoutdev 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9..neither what should be the right combination??
pd -listdev returns the following: audio input device #1: MOTU 828 #1: Analog 1-2 audio input device #2: MOTU 828 #1: Analog 3-4 audio input device #3: MOTU 828 #1: Analog 5-6 audio input device #4: MOTU 828 #1: Analog 7-8 audio input device #5: MOTU 828 #1: SPDIF 1-2 audio input device #6: MOTU 828 #2: Analog 1-2 audio input device #7: MOTU 828 #2: Analog 3-4 audio input device #8: MOTU 828 #2: Analog 5-6 audio input device #9: MOTU 828 #2: Analog 7-8 audio input device #10: MOTU 828 #2: SPDIF 1-2 audio output device #1: MOTU 828 #1: Analog 1-2 audio output device #2: MOTU 828 #1: Analog 3-4 audio output device #3: MOTU 828 #1: Analog 5-6 audio output device #4: MOTU 828 #1: Analog 7-8 audio output device #5: MOTU 828 #1: SPDIF 1-2 audio output device #6: MOTU 828 #2: Analog 1-2 audio output device #7: MOTU 828 #2: Analog 3-4 audio output device #8: MOTU 828 #2: Analog 5-6 audio output device #9: MOTU 828 #2: Analog 7-8 audio output device #10: MOTU 828 #2: SPDIF 1-2
ad 3) then i wanted to do the whole thing with asio, as the motu828 states to come with asio drivers. but starting pd -asio returns:
in 2 out 2 rate 44100 using default device number: 0 nchan 2, flags 3, bufs 4, framesperbuf 256 PaASIO_QueryDeviceInfo: numDrivers = 0 PaASIO_QueryDeviceInfo: numDrivers = 0
..and hangs. am i missing something here?
gute nacht. joreg.
i have one motu 828 and i was surprised to get a total of 6 analogue outs. dac~ 1 2 5 6 7 8 will get me 6 analog channels out. dac~ 3 4 "seem" to trigger my spdif's (say seems b/c only the spdif light indicator goes green when i feed a signal into it; no way to really test it). to get that set up, using the _stable_ version of pd, i had: pd -soundoutdev 1,3,4,5 -outchannels 8
audio input device #1: 828 Analog 1-2 #2: 828 SPDIF 1-2 #3: 828 Analog 3-4 #4: 828 Analog 5-6 #5: 828 Analog 7-8 audio output device :same thing
so. . . just do that. you may lose 2 analog channels from what you already have, but you can get at least 500 bucks in return, :)

it may be possible to do some code tweaking and recompile using VC++ 6 but i'm not the one to know how to do that.
halo.
thanks. but that didn't help. hm. is it possible that pd-35/16 is somehow restricted to 8 channels i/o? if so could someone compile a version for 16ch i/o?
asio: i found out that i had to install cubase asio drivers of the motu828. now pd finds an asio driver and runs, but only offers 2ch i/o. if i specify to use more channels via -outchannels pd starts up and immediately exits without any errors.
all this again happens on a w2k-pc.
is there anything i could try? joreg.

Hi,
I also don't get asio to work with other than the default 2 channels. And I had to recompile test16 with sDefaultOutputDeviceID = 1; in pa_asio.c
I'm not using motu828 but rme hammerfall dsp.
