DRIVER INSTALLATION
To use the Helix Board FireWire mixer efficiently (or at all) on a PC, it is important to install all the necessary drivers from the included
CD (ASIO and WDM drivers). It is important that users read all instructions carefully before continuing on to the each step of installation,
as users will be required to unplug and plug in their FireWire device. This is not necessary for Mac users.
Make sure no other programs are running on your PC and that the
Helix Board 24 FireWire MKII is not connected to your PC, then click Next.
Either select a new destination for the installation, or else click Next to accept the default directory.
If a message is displayed indicating that the software has not passed Windows Logo test,
click Continue Anyway.
After installation is complete, users are free to use the device as they wish.
Enter the Audio Devices section. From the Properties for pull-down tab,
select Helix Board 24 FireWire MKII.
At the bottom of the window, users can edit the setup of the Helix Board 24 FireWire MKII.
Properties such as sampling rate and clock source can be altered.
Users may also opt to make the Helix Board 24 FireWire MKII their default input and/or output device.
Mac users are able to use GarageBand Digital Audio Workstation Software,
in conjunction with the Helix Board 24 FireWire MKII.
CUBASE LE
Cubase LE is a fairly powerful program provided along with the
Helix Board 24 FireWire MKII mixer that allows users to record,
edit, delete, and alter their tracks. Please note that only 4 tracks
can be recorded at once with the version of Cubase included,
and users must upgrade or find other suitable DAW software if
they choose to record more tracks.
Installation
Insert the Cubase LE installation CD that came with your mixer
into the CD drive of your computer. Run the installer. The serial
number will be automatically entered in when installing.
First off, the synch mode can be altered, though making this
alteration is not recommended for novice users. The synch
mode is basically the way the computer determines what the
clock source (ie. device that your computer will use to determine
the timing of all digital signals received) will be. The default
setting for this feature is CSP, meaning the Helix Board 24
FireWire MKII is the master clock source of the device. The
other options allow users to make the Helix Board 24 FireWire
MKII follow the timing of whichever device is the clock source.
Having two clock sources has the potential to create very
undesireable audio, so it is best avoided. If the Helix Board
24 FireWire MKII is the only piece of digital audio equipment
attached to the computer, there is no reason this option should
be changed.

59. Controles de Grupo 1 a 4
Estos cuatro faders son el control de nivel final para las
alimentaciones de audio de Grupo 1 a 4, enviadas a las
salidas de Grupo correspondientes en la parte dorsal de la
Helix Board 24 FireWire MKII para alimentar a dispositivos
externos tales como procesadores de efecto y, bastante
comunmente, grabadoras de multi-pista. Estos faders pueden
ser alimentados desde varios canales de entrada (as como el
Retorno AUX 3) dependiendo de sus selecciones. Cuando se
llevan completamente hacia arriba, estos faders proveen 10 dB
de ganancia a la seal y, cuando setean completamente hacia
abajo, mute efectivamente la seal.
Los Controles de Grupo tambin presentan botones izquierdo
y derecho individuales que permite a los usuarios enviar varias
seales de Grupo a la mezcla Principal Izquierdo y Derecho.
Esto puede ser prctico al querer combinar las seales de Dentro de la mixer
diversos canales de entrada y controlar sus niveles de entrada
simultneamente, luego enviarlas a la mezcla de audio
Principal. Un buen ejemplo de cuando esto puede ser hecho
es cuando entradas mltiples son utilizadas para los tambores;
los usuarios pueden combinar estas entradas juntas para ser
controladas mucho ms simple por un solo fader.
