User Guide ♦ 38

In this ﬁeld you can adjust the latency buffer size you wish to work with. Smaller buffer sizes result in lower latency (“latency” refers

to the time it takes for your input signal to pass through your audio software and appear at the outputs), but smaller buffers may

not function well with slower systems. The default buffer size setting is 256. This setting may adequately serve your purposes, but if

you wish to, you can experiment with lower settings. If you experience any stuttering or crackling in your audio signal playback, try

selecting a larger buffer size. A general rule of thumb is that you want the smallest buffer setting possible for recording and the largest

buffer setting available for mixing.

NOTE: This section does not apply to Mac OS X, and will not appear if you are running that operating system. However, most Mac DAW

applications do allow you to deﬁne a preferred buffer setting in the application. It has the same effect as the adjustment described above.

Current Preset

< Copy to Device

Presets are saved on the computer as MIDI SYSEX ﬁles (.syx). These ﬁles can be named like any other ﬁle in the Windows or

Mac OS. Be aware that the name of the ﬁle on the computer has nothing to do with the name of the ﬁle in the Black Box.

The Black Box has its own naming convention described on page 24 in this manual. When you click the OK button for the

Import Preset, a browser window appears allowing you to select the proper preset ﬁle. Once the ﬁle is selected and you

click OK, the selected preset is loaded into the current Black Box Preset location. This will replace the previously loaded

preset in the Black Box. NOTE: If that preset was not already backed up to the computer, that preset will be lost forever.
