[LAU] RME Digi96/8

[Michael TD Nelson]

Hi Reuben and all,

Thanks for your  I hope you don't mind me posting this back to the list!
I'm sorry for spamming you with my reply earlier - I was trying to send
it to the list...

Anyway, I've also added some extra text this time round...

Ok. That's kind of what I expected, from what Fernando said.

I think that this is almost certainly exactly what is happening. At the
moment I have my ADC/DACs connected to my Digi9636, and I didn't really
consider that syncing would be a problem before I'm actually using the
interface. That makes perfect sense, though. I'll test it tomorrow.

Cool! It is called 'rmedigicontrol'. The alsatools website says that
'rmedigicontrol is a control tool for RME Digi32 and RME Digi96 sound
cards. It provides a graphical frontend for all the sound card controls
and switches.' So, does it also work on my Digi9636? When I run it, it
just opens one window which appears to control the 96/8 PAD.

Just out of interest, does anyone know a *useful* way that I could sync
together two Digi9636 cards and one Digi96/8 PAD?

Thanks again,
Michael
