OPERATING
SOFTWARE
After successfully completing the installation pro-
cess, the following process must be followed to
work efficiently with the Firefly 302 Plus mixer.
1. Open the Cubase LE program.
2. Go to the 'Devices' pull-down menu and select
'Device Setup'. On the left, select 'VST Multi-
track'.
3. From the ASIO Driver drop-down list select the
'Phonic ASIO' Driver. A pop-up box will ask
you if you want to switch the ASIO driver. Click
'Switch'. This completes the basic installation
and setup.
4. Activating audio tracks received from the Firefly
mixer.
a. Go to the "devices" pull-down menu and
select 'VST Inputs'. This will display the
various inputs ("Phonic Firefly 302 Ch 1",
"Phonic Firefly 302 Ch 2", etc.)
b. Activate 4 of these channels by clicking the
"Active" button located next to each channel
name. Please note, only 4 input channels
can be activated at any one time. This is a
limitation of Cubase LE, and if more input
channels are needed, we suggest upgrad-
ing to a higher version of Cubase, or use
other DAW software.
5. For further instructions on the operation of Cu-
base, please consult the user manual by press-
ing F1 while the program is open.
If you wish to reset the Firefly 302 ASIO driver, sim-
