there are 2 different PD executables, one of which provides a msDOS command
prompt which displays errors as you go. I can also test the results of
changes that I make using the provided test audio and midi patch, which has
built into it a way of addressing a test tone to the different dac~ outputs you
mention. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

inputs with the "ASIO fireface" driver setting the channel numbers to 8 in
the audio options, but only provided I disable audio output. Otherwise
trying to set any of the devices under output I get the error "illegal

<DIV></DIV>I might have this wrong, but the audio options offer a prescribed
number of chanels, you can change those to 8. <BR> <BR>Then follow the
[dac~] and [adc~] boxes with an argument for chanel number or a
list<BR> <BR>E.G. [dac~ 1 3 5] would be outputs 1, 3 and 5.<BR><BR><BR>

trouble with an RME fireface 400 using the windows ASIO driver on a laptop.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=EC_610192319-04012009>It works fine under
Ableton Live on the same machine, giving me the prescribed 8 inputs and 8

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=EC_610192319-04012009>Failing that, is there
an alternative audio card anyone can recommend to give me those 8 ins and
