3. Copy the complete sub-folder Hammerfall DSP, found in the folder 'into Preferences folder', to the system folder 'Preferences'. This way the files related to the HDSP system reside in their own folder, without cluttering the Preferences folder. Additionally deleting those files is much easier in case of a driver update. Hammerfall DSP contains 10 files: default.mix: Default settings for TotalMix default.vol: Default settings for Digiface/Multiface, as long as TotalMix isn't started preset1.mix to preset8.mix: Presets for the HDSP mixer 4. The file Hammerfall DSP TotalMix can be copied to any place. When started the HDSP mixer comes up and allows you to configure the digital real-time mixer of the Multiface. TotalMix requires Carbon Library 1.1, which is part of the operating system since MacOS 9.1. After installation of Carbon Library 1.1 TotalMix can even be run on older systems (down to 8.6). 5. Using the MIDI port of the Multiface requires an installed OMS (Open Music System) from Opcode. The latest version 2.3.8 can be downloaded for free at http://www.opcode.com After the installation of OMS, copy the file HDSP_OMSDriver, found in the folder 'into OMS Folder folder', into the system folder 'OMS Folder'. To finish installation reboot the computer. After re-boot the MIDI driver is installed, but not yet activated. To activate it create a new OMS Studio setup. Using 'Search' the MIDI driver of the Multiface should be found and added to the list. Now it can be activated. Linux/Unix An ALSA driver for Linux/Unix is planned to be available soon.

8. Operation and Usage 8.1 Connections The front of the I/O-box Multiface has the MIDI input and output, the analog stereo output of the digital mixer, and several status LEDs: MIDI State indicates sent or received data for the MIDI port Input State indicates a valid input signal separately for each input. RME’s exclusive SyncCheck shows through a blinking LED, which of the input signals is locked, but not in sync to the others. See chapter 9.2, Clock Modes - Synchronisation. The red HOST LED lights up when the power supply or the computer is switched on, thus signalling the presence of operating voltage. At the same time it operates as Error LED, in case the I/O-box wasn’t initialised, or the connection to the interface has been interrupted (Error, cable not connected etc.). Phones is a low impedance line output of highest quality, which can produce a sufficient volume undistorted even when used with headphones. The back of the Multiface has the 8 analog inputs and outputs, the power supply connector AUX (only needed in CardBus operation), and all digital inputs and outputs: ADAT I/O (TOSLINK), 1 to 3. The ADAT1 I/O can also be used for optical SPDIF, if this mode is selected in the Settings dialog. SPDIF I/O coaxial (phono) Word clock I/O (BNC) ADAT Sync In (D-sub 9-pin) The SPDIF inputs are selected via the Settings dialog (started by clicking on the hammer symbol in the system tray). The HDSP system accepts the commonly used digital audio formats, SPDIF as well as AES/EBU. Channel status and copy protection are ignored. In SPDIF mode, identical signals are available at both the optical and the coaxial outputs. An obvious use for this would be simply connecting two devices, i.e. using the HDSP as a splitter (distribution 1 on 2). To receive signals in AES/EBU format, an adapter cable is required. Pins 2 and 3 of a XLR plug are connected individually to the two pins of a phono plug. The cable shielding is only connected to pin 1 of the XLR - not to the phono plug. The ground-free design using transformers for digital inputs and outputs enables trouble-free connection even to AES/EBU devices, and perfect hum rejection. User’s Guide HDSP System Multiface © RME 9
