Rane MP2015 Owners Manual - Page 16

Class Compliant USB Ports The USB ports are 100% class compliant, connecting to Mac OSX without the need for an additional driver. A highperformance ASIO driver runs most Windows DAW and DJ software. MIDI end points are class compliant with both OSX and Windows devices. Mac and Windows Control Panel installers with additional mixer settings are included on the CDROM with the MP2015, and current versions available from the Downloads link in the MP2015 page at dj.rane.com. ASIO (Windows) A low-latency ASIO driver interfaces with most DJ and DAW audio software applications on Windows operating systems. Multi-client ASIO allows different audio software applications to simultaneously stream audio to and from the MP2015. If the same playback channel is selected in more than one application, the driver mixes the audio from the applications before streaming it to the device. ASIO driver and Rane Control Panel system requires Windows 7-SP1, Windows 8 or 8.1. The driver Control Panel may be launched from the Windows Control Panel. Select Start > Control Panel > Rane MP2015. Core Audio (Macintosh) No driver installation is required. Connect the MP2015 to a Mac running OSX, and the MP2015 inputs and outputs become available in your audio program. Install the Rane control panel to provide additional setting as described below. Control Panel NOTE: Settings are saved in the mixer. The control panel for Windows or Macintosh is updated with the mixer's settings. Therefore, when you connect to a different MP2015 Mixer, it's saved settings override your previous Control Panel settings. NOTE: The Rane Control Panel and Firmware may be updated with new features over time. To get the most from your MP2015, occasionally check the Downloads link in the MP2015 page at dj.rane.com. Settings The MP2015 allows you to save and export settings. You can load your preferences when using a different MP2015 than your own, or putting things back after another DJ has used your mixer. Once you have set control panel preferences, click Export to write these to a computer file. Click Import to load a .rms settings file. The control panel shows the current settings file loaded in the mixer. If any changes are made since the last import, [Modified] will appear after the filename along with a Save button, offering to save your changes as the new default. Firmware The MP2015 Firmware Version currently installed in the MP2015 is shown. The Downloads link on the MP2015 page at dj.rane.com is the place to check if there is a control panel / firmware update. After downloading and installing, if the MP2015 firmware installed on your computer is newer than the firmware in your MP2015, an Update Firmware button is enabled. Pressing the button updates the MP2015 firmware to the new version. General Tab Main Out can be set to Stereo or Mono. The Booth and Session Outputs are always in stereo. Headphone Tone slider adjusts the tone going to the headphones using spectral tilt filters. • Increasing Treble reduces lows by the same amount. • Increasing Bass reduces highs by the same amount. Sub Tone Crossover sets the crossover points of the 3-band Tone controls in the Submix to either: • 300 Hz between Low and Mid, 3 kHz between Mid and High. • 150 Hz between Low and Mid, 6 kHz between Mid and High (default). Mic Clean Feed when selected, the microphone signal is only sent to the Main Out and is not present in the USB Main Record, Booth Out or Session Out. This allows you to record your set without any house announcements. Default is Off. MP2015 MANUAL 16
