Installation. The program does not need installation, simply place a folder with the program in any convenient place. For start of the program make double click on a exe-file.
Max/MSP DJ Stuff setup. Start the program. Make double click on object dac ~ [2].
DSP Status window will appear:
 | Turn off the program before any manipulations in DSP Status window (menu [d1] or button [1]). |
| In menu [d2] choose ASIO the driver. |
| Set sampling rate to 88200 Hz [d3]. Some audio cards do not provide a choice of sampling rate from DSP Status window, then choose sampling rate with the help of the software of the sound card. It concerns also to a choice I/O Vector Size (see the following item). |
| The I/O Vector Size [d4] (also knows as latency) controls the number of samples that are transferred to the audio card from program at one time. The delay of the response of the program to your action (like pressing buttons) depends on I/O Vector Size. I/O Vector Size should be small as possible. If at decreasing of I/O Vector Size will be distortions of a sound, then increase it to remove distortions. |
| The Signal Vector Size [d5] is how many audio samples calculates at a time in program. Optimum Signal Vector Size value is equal to 256 samples. His decreasing less than 256 is not meaningful and will only unreasonable overload of the processor. |
| Button I/O Mappings [d6] opens a window for giving to the certain input/output numbers of the program corresponding to them input/output numbers of your sound card. By default, the program will use 1-st and 2-nd outputs of a sound card for headphones, and 3-rd and 4-th outputs for monitors. Do not change these adjustments in order to prevent divergences with the subsequent story. |
DSP Status settings will be saved automatically and will recall when you run program next again.
The test. Close DSP Status window, switch on the program [1] and open (double click) a test window [3]. It will be offered to you to pass two tests for check of correctness of audio settings of the program and a sound card. During the first test you should hear a sound signal (a sinusoid frequency of 1000 Hz) in headphones, during the second test in monitors. If the sound signal is distorted (obviously differs from a pure sinusoid) try to increase parameters I/O Vector Size and Signal Vector Size (do not remind turn off the program by [d1] or [1] before).
