Working with Third Party Applications
Compatibility
The drivers included with your LynxONE provide compatibility with all standard third
party audio editing and MIDI sequencing applications that communicate with Windows
Wave audio, DirectSound and MIDI devices. A list of applications that have been
tested for compatibility will be provided on the Lynx web site in the near future.
LynxONE Devices
Third party applications communicate with the LynxONE through its installed driver.
The driver presents the LynxONE’s audio and MIDI capabilities to applications as
standard multimedia or DirectSound devices.
Selection of these devices is the control mechanism used to route audio and MIDI data
between an application and the inputs and outputs of the LynxONE. In other words, in
order to record from the LynxONE’s digital input, for example, you must select the
LynxONE Digital In as the record device in an application.
Most, if not all, third party applications provide device selection in configuration,
options, or preference setting windows or menus. For two channel or stereo audio
applications, a separate selection option is typically provided for the input or recording
device and the output or playback device. Multitrack applications provide multiple
input and output device selection menus or windows. Similarly, MIDI applications
typically provide configuration options for MIDI input and output ports. Refer to the
documentation included with your application to determine how to select audio devices
and MIDI devices.
With the LynxONE properly installed in your computer, the digital audio and MIDI
devices will be available to applications and their names will appear in their device
selection menus as follows:
LynxONE Analog In
LynxONE Analog Out
LynxONE Digital In
LynxONE Digital Out
LynxONE MIDI In 1
LynxONE MIDI Out 1
LynxONE MIDI In 2
LynxONE MIDI Out 2
When more than one LynxONE is installed in your system, the device names will
contain a numeric adapter ID assigned by the operating system. For example, the analog
output device on adapter 2 would be listed as “LynxONE 2 Analog Output”. Refer to
the “Configuring Multiple LynxONE’s” section for more information regarding this
topic.
