Is OS X supported in the Midiman Delta series?
Mac OS 10.1 Drivers for M-Audio Delta Series Available Now!
First ever OS 10.1 audio drivers report incredibly low latency.
ARCADIA, Calif., September 28, 2001 MIDIMAN/M-Audio today announced support in Macintosh OS 10.1 for their entire line of Delta digital audio interfaces. Latency for the OS 10.1 drivers is reported to be as low as 40 samples, which translates to a latency time of approximately 1 ms. This unprecedented development clearly puts M-Audio at the forefront of driver development and support, being the first audio-related company to announce OS 10.1 fully functional drivers.
“We are delighted to be the first audio developer shipping hardware with PCI audio drivers for Mac OS X,” says Tim Ryan, president of Midiman Inc. “We are extremely excited about Apple’s next-generation operation system; we feel that its low latency audio engine is going to change computer-based music production as we know it today. Our entire Delta series of PCI audio cards is now up to date with Mac OS X and we’re ready to play a significant role in this dramatic development in the music industry.”
The driver has the following features:
* All Delta cards are supported (1010, 66, 44, DiO2496, Audiophile 2496, TDIF, R-BUS).
* Latency times are as low as appx. 1ms (one!) = 40 samples.
* ASIO 2.0 and legacy ASIO support.
* MultiCard mode (up to 4 cards).
* MultiClient (multiple apps can access one card and audio port at the same time).
* MIDI I/O (where available).
* Hibernate mode (works with power management).
* Resizeable panels in the Delta Control Panel software.
* Additional small VU meter panel.
* Requires Mac OS X 10.1 or later.
MIDIMAN/M-Audio driver research and technology has been leading the industry with previous low-latency, highly functional Mac and PC drivers for the Delta series. The USB MIDISport series of MIDI interfaces has enjoyed OS 10 support since June of 2001. All Delta and MIDISport products will currently work in Mac OS 9.x.
The M-Audio Delta series represents a line of PCI-based audio interfaces in an ever-widening variety of configurations. Visit the MIDIMAN/M-Audio website for more information about the Delta series of audio interfaces: www.m-audio.com
