MIDI OUT device Roland V-Synth GT MIDI IN device Roland V-Synth GT WAVE OUT device Roland V-Synth GT WAVE IN device Roland V-Synth GT This receives audio signals sent from the V-Synth GT to your computer. * ASIO device If you’re using the V-Synth GT with an ASIO-compatible application such as Cu- base, choose “Roland V-Synth GT” for the ASIO settings of your application. To prevent audio feedback loops or double monitoring, turn off monitoring in your application, or set things so ASIO Direct Monitoring is used. The V-Synth GT does not support ASIO Direct Monitoring. Support is emulated for your convenience. If you’re using the V-Synth GT with ASIO, we recommend that you make settings in your applica- tion so that the Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth is not used. (This is in order to decrease the processor load, and for convenience in changing the buffer size of the driver.) In Cubase SX, if the V-Synth GT’s sampling frequency is different than Cubase SX’s project setting, a message such as “Sample could not be set” may appear, and you will be unable to record or play back correctly. If this occurs, you can ensure correct operation by opening “Project Setup,” making sure that the sampling frequency matches, and clicking [OK]. * * * Open the Performance Options dialog box.
