 OASYS PCI Introduction

OASYS PCI
English

Thank you!
Thank you for purchasing the Korg Soundlink DRS OASYS PCI.
The OASYS PCI integrates high-quality synthesis, effects processing, and
computer audio input and output into a single, professional PCI audio card–the
perfect complement to any MIDI sequencer or software-based digital audio
workstation.

State of the art DSP synthesis

The OASYS PCI’s synthesizers represent a continual evolution from Korg’s
pioneering efforts in DSP synthesis, with many improvements and additions.
Synthesis algorithms are plug-ins loaded from disk, allowing easy upgrades and
expansion. Korg and third-party sound developers can easily introduce new
algorithms, or even entirely new types of synthesis.

Incredible effects processing

The OASYS PCI starts with all of the effects of the award-winning Korg Trinity
workstation, and builds from that foundation. Effects can be used to process the
onboard synthesizer, tracks from digital audio programs, and live audio inputs,
and can be used on channel inserts, as sends, and on output busses. As with
synthesis algorithms, all effects are plug-ins loaded from disk, allowing for easy
expansion in the future.

Professional, multi-format analog and digital I/O

The OASYS PCI features a total of 12 inputs and outputs - stereo analog, stereo
S/PDIF, and eight-channel ADAT optical. All inputs and outputs are 24-bit, and all
can be used simultaneously with compatible multitrack audio software. Word
clock and ADAT timecode I/O allow easy integration with other digital audio
equipment.

Seamless integration with MIDI and digital audio software

The OASYS PCI supports all major audio and MIDI standards, for compatibility
with virtually every audio and MIDI program.
The output of the synthesizers and effects can be recorded directly into digital
audio software, without any external connections. The OASYS PCI Editor software
allows configuration of all mixing, effects, and synthesis parameters, so that no
special support is necessary from any digital audio program.

2 OASYS PCI
Introduction OASYS PCI

Designed to collaborate with your CPU

You can use your favorite PowerPC or Pentium-based effects plug-ins, such as VST,
MAS, and DirectX plug-ins, simultaneously with OASYS PCI effects and
synthesizers.

Complete automation via MIDI

Every parameter in the OASYS PCI can be modulated via standard MIDI
controllers, allowing easy automation of mixing, synthesis, and effects from any
MIDI sequencer.

Hardware Installation
English

Installing the OASYS PCI is simple and straightforward. However, to make sure
that you don’t damage the card or the computer, please read the instructions on
pages 8-13 completely before performing the installation. They’re short, they’re
sweet, and they’re even sprinkled with a few zippy graphics–the perfect
accompaniment to a brief coffee break.

Installation and Setup Hardware Installation

Third-party digital audio software may have additional requirements; please

consult your manuals for details.

Handle carefully!
Avoid static electricity
The OASYS PCI card is packaged within a protective anti-static envelope, which
prevents static electricity from damaging its delicate electronic components. It’s a
good idea to keep this envelope around; whenever you need to ship your card, or
to store it outside of your computer, put it back in its envelope.
Before handling the card, always discharge any static electricity from your clothes
and body by touching a grounded metal surface, such as the case around your
computer’s power supply. After doing this, use one hand to hold the card by the
metal jack panel (where the connectors are), and touch the power supply again
with your other hand.
While working with the card, avoid moving around on carpeted surfaces; shuffling
your feet on a rug is almost guaranteed to build up a static charge. If you need to
walk around in the middle of working with the card, just repeat the static discharge
procedure before touching the card again.
These simple steps will ensure that a tiny little jolt of static electricity–like the kind
that holds your socks together when they come out of the dryer–doesn’t zap your

English
card into oblivion.

Hold the OASYS PCI by its edges

Did we already mention that the OASYS PCI uses a whole bunch of delicate
electronic components? Well, OK, so we’ve said it again. To avoid damaging those
lovely little silicon jewels, always hold the OASYS PCI by the edges of the card, or
by the metal jack panel (where the connectors are). Don’t touch the electronic parts,
the PCI connector pins, or any of the traces on the board (those little silvery paths
that run between the components).
There, we’re done nagging now.

Installing the OASYS PCI card in your computer

The instructions below are a brief overview of the installation procedure; please
consult your computer’s manuals for more detailed instructions.
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Detach the power cable from the computer.
3. Remove the computer’s main cover.
4. Choose any available PCI slot.
When installing into Apple-branded MacOS computers, you can use any available
PCI slot. Don’t worry about which ones are “bus master” slots; on Apple
computers, all PCI slots are capable of bus mastering. If you are installing the

OASYS PCI 9
 Hardware Installation Installation and Setup

OASYS PCI into a MacOS clone computer (from a manufacturer other than Apple),
see the HTML FAQ for details on which PCI slots are appropriate.
When installing into a Windows-compatible PC, consult your computer’s manual
English

for details. OASYS PCI requires a bus master slot; on most modern PC
motherboards, all slots are capable of bus mastering.
For each slot, there is a small port on the back of the computer, which allows access
to one end of the card. For the OASYS PCI, the port allows access to the jack panel,
into which you plug all your digital and analog connectors. There will be a small
cover over the port.
5. Remove the cover from the port on the back of the computer.
You may need to use a screwdriver, if your computer uses screws to secure the PCI
cards and port covers. If you remove a screw, save it–we’ll use it again later on.
6. Before handling the OASYS PCI card, touch a grounded metal surface
(such as your computer’s power supply). Follow the complete instructions
under “Handle carefully!,” on page 9.
7. Before plugging the card in, align it with the selected PCI slot.
The jack panel should line up with the port on the back of the computer. There also
should be a corresponding guide towards the front of the computer, to hold the
other end of the card in place.
8. Press the card gently but firmly into the slot, until the connector is fully
inserted.
Don’t force the card into the slot. If you encounter a lot of resistance, pull the card
out and try inserting it again.
9. To make sure that the connector is properly inserted, pull on the card
gently.
If the card resists your gentle pull and stays in place, then it’s inserted properly.
If it moves easily, then go back to step 8 and try again.
10. If you removed a screw in step 5, use it to secure the card to the case.
11. After installing the card in the slot, replace the computer’s main cover and
power cable.
With the card installed in the computer, you’re now ready to connect it to your
audio system.

Installation and Setup Audio Connectors

Audio Connectors
Korg engineers worked valiantly to squeeze an incredible number of inputs and
outputs onto the OASYS PCI’s relatively small jack panel. To produce such a
densely packed piece of digital audio real estate, they used two breakout cables–
that is, cables with a single connector on one end, fanning out to several connectors
on the other.
One of the breakout cables is dedicated to analog audio input and output, and the
other is dedicated to digital signals, including S/PDIF audio, ADAT timecode, and
BNC word clock I/O.

❹ Digital Audio Breakout Connector

❶ Analog breakout connector

This connector should only be used with the special Analog Audio breakout cable
included with the OASYS PCI. This cable provides two analog inputs and two
analog outputs, on standard 1/4” jacks.

Analog inputs left and right

These connectors are used to bring analog signals into the OASYS PCI. You can
connect this to the output of a mixer, microphone pre-amp, synthesizer, and so on.
The analog inputs use standard 1/4”, unbalanced connectors, referenced to a
+4dBu signal level. The OASYS PCI uses 24-bit A/D converters, ensuring the
highest possible audio quality.

OASYS PCI 11
 Audio Connectors Installation and Setup

Microphones and electric guitar outputs should be sent through a mixer or pre-
amp first, to bring them up to +4 levels; otherwise, their signals will be weak.
English

Analog outputs left and right

These connectors are used to bring analog signals out of the OASYS PCI, into your
mixer, amplifier, etc.
As with the analog inputs, described above, the analog outputs use standard 1/4”,
unbalanced connectors, referenced to a +4dBu signal level. The OASYS PCI uses
24-bit D/A converters, ensuring the highest possible audio quality.

❷ ADAT optical input

The ADAT optical input carries eight channels of digital audio. You can connect
this to the digital output of any multitrack recorder, digital mixer, effects processor,
or other digital audio device which supports the ADAT optical format.
You can also connect this to an ADAT optical A/D converter, which will provide
the OASYS PCI with eight additional analog inputs.
The OASYS PCI provides full 24-bit ADAT optical functionality.

❸ ADAT optical output

The ADAT optical output carries eight channels of digital audio. You can connect
this to the digital input of any multitrack recorder, digital mixer, effects processor,
or other digital audio device which supports the ADAT optical format.
You can also connect this to an ADAT optical D/A converter, which will provide
the OASYS PCI with eight additional analog outputs.
The OASYS PCI provides full 24-bit ADAT optical functionality.

❹ Digital breakout connector

This connector should only be used with the special Digital breakout cable
included with the OASYS PCI. This cable has a multi-pin connector at one end,
which connects to the OASYS PCI, and fans out to a pair of RCA S/PDIF jacks, a
pair of BNC Word Clock connectors, and a pair of ADAT 9-pin sync connectors.
S/PDIF input. The white RCA connector, labeled “In,” is the S/PDIF input. You
can connect this to the S/PDIF output of a DAT, signal processor, sampler, and so
on. Please use high-quality, shielded, 75-ohm cables manufactured specifically for

Installation and Setup Audio Connectors

Word Clock input. The white BNC connector, labeled “In,” is the Word Clock
input. This allows the sample rate of the OASYS PCI to be controlled by an external
device. Connect this to the word clock output of the master clock source.
The Word Clock input requires a shielded, video-quality cable (75-ohm or greater
impedance) with BNC connectors. This type of cable is different from those
commonly used in analog audio applications, but is readily available at
professional audio and video dealers.
Word Clock output. The yellow BNC connector, labeled “Out,” is the Word Clock
output. This allows the OASYS PCI to control the sample rate of an external device;
it will always echo the currently selected Clock Source. Connect this to the word
clock input of the slave device.
As with the Word Clock input, above, the Word Clock output requires a shielded,
video-quality cable, with 75-ohm or greater impedance.
ADAT sync input. This 9-pin connector receives timecode from an ADAT system.
OASYS PCI-compatible digital audio software can use this to synchronize
recording and playback with a connected ADAT system. Connect this to the
ADAT’s sync out port.
ADAT sync output. This 9-pin connector passes through timecode and MMC
commands received at the ADAT sync input. You can use this to connect to other

3. Click on the MIDI/Global tab.
The MIDI/Global preferences page will appear.
4. Set the MIDI System parameter to OMS.
The OASYS PCI will now use OMS as its MIDI system.

Adding the OASYS PCI to the OMS Studio Setup

Once the OASYS PCI OMS Driver is installed, OMS needs to be configured to add
the OASYS PCI to the Studio Setup. To do this:
1. Open the OMS Setup application.
The current OMS Studio Setup document will be opened.
2. In the Studio menu, select MIDI Cards & Interfaces.
A dialog box will appear.
3. Click the Update Setup button.
The OMS Driver Search window will appear.
4. De-select all of the serial ports.

Installation and Setup Configuring OMS (MacOS)

It isn’t necessary to search the serial ports in this case, and de-selecting them will
make the search faster.
5. Click the Search button.
OMS will automatically detect the OASYS PCI, and add two devices to the Studio
Setup, named OASYS PCI A and OASYS PCI B. The OASYS PCI devices are not
connected to any serial ports or MIDI interfaces, since they connect directly to
OMS.
6. In the Edit menu, select OMS MIDI Setup.
The OMS MIDI Setup dialog will appear.
7. Enable the “Run MIDI in Background” checkbox.
This allows OMS MIDI programs to continue to play while you work in the OASYS
PCI Editor. If Run MIDI in Background is not enabled, switching from an OMS
MIDI sequencer to the OASYS PCI Editor will cause the sequencer to stop playing.
This will also prevent the MIDI Program from sending any MIDI data (including
MIDI from your controller keyboard) to the OASYS PCI.
8. Save the edited OMS setup.
The OASYS PCI will now appear in your OMS programs as two devices, OASYS
PCIA and OASYS PCIB, for a total of 32 MIDI channels.

Using the OASYS PCI with an OMS sequencer

English
When using the OASYS PCI with an OMS sequencer, we recommend enabling
MIDI patch-through in the sequencer, and disabling direct MIDI input to the
OASYS PCI. To do this:
1. Open the OASYS PCI Editor program.
2. In the Edit menu, select “Preferences.”
The Preferences window will appear.
3. Click on the MIDI/Global tab.
The MIDI/Global preferences page will appear.
4. Turn off the “Editor Responds to OMS/FreeMIDI Controllers” checkbox.
This is similar to the Local On/Off parameter found on some synthesizers. Turning
it off means that the OASYS PCI will not directly receive MIDI from MIDI
controllers. Instead, it will only respond to MIDI patched through from other OMS
programs, such as an OMS sequencer.
This setting prevents various strange things from happening, including phasing,
hung notes, and notes cutting off prematurely.
5. In the OMS sequencer, enable MIDI patch through.
This will patch the MIDI output of your controller through to the OASYS PCI. The
name of the parameter may vary depending on the particular OMS program being
used. Depending on the program, you also may need to select a track assigned to

 Configuring ASIO Software Installation and Setup

Configuring ASIO Software

English

The OASYS PCI includes ASIO drivers, for direct compatibility with MacOS and
Windows digital audio programs such as Cakewalk Metro, Cool Edit Pro, Cubase
VST, Deck, Digital Performer, Logic Audio, Peak, TC Spark, and more.

Installing the OASYS PCI ASIO driver

ASIO 1.0 vs. ASIO 2.0
ASIO drivers currently come in two flavors: ASIO 1.0 and ASIO 2.0. ASIO 1.0 is the
initial version of the driver standard, and ASIO 2.0 adds new features such as
support for sample-accurate timecode and control of hardware-based monitoring.
OASYS PCI includes drivers for both ASIO 1.0 and ASIO 2.0.
Many programs work well with either version of ASIO, but some programs may
only work with ASIO 1.0 drivers - and they may even crash when an ASIO 2.0
driver is selected.
If you are installing an ASIO driver for a particular program, find out what version
of ASIO is appropriate for that program. If in doubt, use the OASYS PCI ASIO 1.0
driver.
The ASIO 1.0 driver may not be included on your OASYS PCI CD-ROM. If not,
you can download it from the OASYS PCI website, at
http://www.korg.com/oasyspci_software.htm.

MacOS
MacOS digital audio programs require that ASIO drivers be placed in a particular
folder. Usually, this folder is named “ASIO Drivers,” and is located in the same
folder as the program itself. Please consult your program’s manual for more
details.
The installer will place an OASYS PCI ASIO 2.0 driver into each folder named
“ASIO Drivers.” If an ASIO-compatible program does not recognize the OASYS
PCI, make sure that the correct version of the OASYS PCI ASIO driver is in the
appropriate folder.
If the driver isn’t there, install it using the Custom Install option of the OASYS PCI
Installer, on the OASYS PCI CD-ROM. Or, if you have a copy of the ASIO driver on
your hard disk already, you can add it manually simply by dragging a copy of the
driver into the folder.
You will also need to manually add an OASYS PCI ASIO driver if you install new
ASIO-compatible software after installing the OASYS PCI software.

26 OASYS PCI
Installation and Setup Configuring ASIO Software

Windows
The OASYS PCI Windows installer will register OASYS PCI as an ASIO device via
REGSVR32.INI. This will allow ASIO-compatible programs, such as Cubase VST
and Cool Edit Pro, to recognize OASYS PCI via ASIO.

Selecting the OASYS PCI as the ASIO device

After the OASYS PCI ASIO Driver is installed in the correct folder, you need to tell
the digital audio program to use the OASYS PCI as the ASIO Device. Different
programs will do this in different ways; consult the program’s manual for details.

Read the FAQ for more information on specific ASIO programs

The HTML-format OASYS PCI FAQ has detailed, step-by-step instructions for
setting up OASYS PCI with a number of ASIO programs, such as Cubase VST,
Logic Audio, Digital Performer, and Vision.

Setting the sample rate and word clock source

Whenever an ASIO-compatible audio program is running, be sure to set the sample
rate and word clock source from within the audio program, as opposed to using the
OASYS PCI Editor preferences settings. Otherwise, the audio program may not
know that the sample rate or clock source has changed.
The OASYS PCI Editor’s settings will reflect the clock and sample rate settings

English
made within the digital audio program.
For more information on setting the sample rate and word clock source, please see
“A few words on word clock” on page 38. Also see the Users Guide, under “ASIO
Control Panel/Audio Settings” and “Using Audio Programs.”

 Configuring Sound Manager (MacOS) Installation and Setup

Configuring Sound Manager

(MacOS)
English

The Apple Sound Manager controls the basic sound input and output for the
computer as a whole, including system alert beeps, speech input and output, game
sounds, and so on. The Sound Manager also allows add-on hardware, such as the
OASYS PCI, to be used in place of the computer’s built-in sound input and output.
When you are using the OASYS PCI through the Sound Manager, only two
channels are available for input and output; you can choose any stereo pair that
you like (analog, S/PDIF, or ADAT 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8). You can even use one
pair of channels for input, and another for output.

Sound Manager setup

Apple’s Sound control panel is included in the OASYS PCI software installation. It
is also included in the “Apple Extras” folder This control panel is not
automatically installed with the MacOS system software, but it works much better
with third-party audio hardware than do the other sound-oriented control panels
(including Monitors & Sound).
For this reason, only the Sound control panel is recommended for configuring the
OASYS PCI and Sound Manager.
You can continue to use the Monitors & Sound control panel for any purpose other
than configuring the OASYS PCI for use with Sound Manager.
To set up the Sound Manager to use the OASYS PCI:
1. Open the Sound control panel.
2. Select “Sound In” from the Sound control panel’s menu.
The Sound In page appears, with the on-screen instruction, “Choose a source for
recording.”
3. Select the OASYS PCI icon.
It will become hilighted. The OASYS PCI will now be used for input to Sound
Manager-compatible programs.
4. Select “Sound Out” from the menu.
The Sound Out page appears, with the on-screen instruction, “Choose a device for
playback.”
5. Select the OASYS PCI icon.
It will become hilighted. The OASYS PCI will now be used for output from Sound
Manager-compatible programs.
The Sound control panel also includes an output volume setting.

Installation and Setup Configuring Sound Manager (MacOS)

6. Select “Volumes” from the menu.

7. Set the OASYS PCI’s output volume to the maximum value.
With the OASYS PCI selected in the Sound control panel, the computer will now
use the OASYS PCI for all sound input and output, including alert sounds (the alert
sound is the “beep,” or other sound, which plays when software displays a
warning message). To keep extraneous MacOS beeps and chirps out of your digital
audio system, you may wish to turn the alert volume off entirely.
8. Optional: select “Alert Sounds” from the menu, and turn the Alert Sound
volume all the way down.
The Sound Manager supports only two inputs and two outputs. Using the OASYS
PCI Sound Manager control panel, you can set the inputs and outputs to use any
two of the OASYS PCI’s channels.
9. Select “Sound In” again, from the Sound control panel’s menu.
10. Press the Options button.

Cool Edit Pro, Sound Forge, Acid, etc.
OASYS PCI also supports ASIO, for use with ASIO-compatible programs including
Cubase VST and Cool Edit Pro. For more information on setting up ASIO, please
see “Configuring ASIO Software,” on page 26.

Using the OASYS PCI as multiple wave devices

Through the OASYS PCI’s standard wave device driver, you can use the card with
any standard Windows digital audio program. The OASYS PCI appears as six full-
duplex stereo devices, one for each input/output pair, as well as four stereo output-
only devices, for the eight Streams.
Programs which support the use of multiple audio devices have simultaneous
access to all 12 inputs and 20 outputs, up to the limits of the program itself.
The OASYS PCI Wave Device Settings program controls the card’s sample rate,
word clock source, and play/record synchronization. Optionally, it also lets you set
volume and balance for each output device. From this program, you can also call
up the Audio Settings, Hardware Meters, and Diagnostics windows.

English
To set up the OASYS PCI for use with MME audio programs:
1. Open the OASYS PCI Wave Device Settings program.
2. Select the desired sample rate and word clock source.
3. Make sure that the Auto Sync button is on.
This will ensure that all of the input and output pairs are synchronized. In some
special cases, you may wish to disable Auto Sync; for more information, see the
section “Wave Device Settings (Windows)” in the Users Guide.
4. Press the Audio Settings button.
The OASYS PCI Audio Settings window will appear.
5. Set up input-to-output monitoring as desired, using the channel routing and
volume controls.
For more information, see the section “ASIO Control Panel/Audio Settings” in the
Users Guide.
6. Optional: to use the OASYS PCI as the default input and/or output wave
device, use the Multimedia Properties control panel.
For more information, see “Setting the default playback or recording device,” on
page 32.

OASYS PCI 31
 Configuring MME (Windows) Installation and Setup

Wave device numbering

When selecting OASYS PCI inputs and outputs in digital audio software, each
stereo pair is identified by name, PCI bus, and PCI device number - such as ADAT
English

3-4, Bus 0, Device 11.

However, the Windows multimedia system keeps track of each audio device
simply by a number, generated by the order in which they were initialized. It is
this number that is stored in a digital audio program’s input and output
assignments.
You can check the device order by looking at the audio “preferred device” menus
in the Multimedia Properties control panel. In these menus, the devices are shown
in order (although no actual numbers are displayed).
If you install or remove other soundcards, this may change the device numbers
assigned to the OASYS PCI. This, in turn, can change the track output assignments
of previously recorded files. If so, you’ll need to re-select the desired outputs, and
save the updated file.
As mentioned previously, the OASYS PCI appears to the Windows multimedia
system as ten stereo audio devices–one for each stereo pair. The devices appear in
the following order: Analog L/R, S/PDIF L/R, ADAT 1-8, and Stream 1-8.

Setting the default playback or recording device

Some programs will automatically use only the default recording and playback
devices, as set in the Multimedia Properties control panel. To select the OASYS PCI
as the default device:
1. Open the Multimedia Properties control panel.
2. Select the desired OASYS PCI channels as the preferred device under both
Playback and Recording.
3. Set the Preferred Quality to CD Quality.
This will set the audio device to stereo, 16 bit, 44.1kHz sample rate. You can use
the Customize button to select other sample rates and bit depths, if desired; the
44.1, 22.05, and 11.025kHz sample rates are valid for the OASYS PCI.
Note also that the volume controls in the Multimedia Properties control panel are
disabled when the OASYS PCI is selected. The OASYS PCI’s output volumes may
be adjusted using the OASYS PCI Wave Device Settings program, if desired.

Installation and Setup System Configurations

System Configurations
This chapter is intended to provide a quick guide for integrating the OASYS PCI
into a variety of different setups. By its nature, the instructions here are brief; for
additional detail, please consult the manuals of the other digital audio hardware
and software being used.
Be sure to consult the OASYS PCI FAQ for information on specific audio/MIDI
programs, as well as any late-breaking information.

Word clock and sample rate settings

With digital audio cards, the great majority of technical support questions are the
result of incorrect word clock settings. Incorrect word clock settings may cause
subtle degradation of audio, louder pops and clicks, altered pitch and playback
speeds, and/or timecode problems.
Keeping track of the word clock source may seem confusing at first, but it’s really
pretty simple. Just remember that, as with SMPTE synchronization setups, there
must be one and only one word clock master, with all other devices set to slave to
the master device. This means that you need to keep track of the word clock
settings on all of your digital audio devices–not just on the OASYS PCI.
For more background information, see “A few words on word clock,” on page 38.

English
Sample rate setting must match external clock source
When you record or play back audio data using external clock sources (such as the
S/PDIF, ADAT, or Word Clock inputs), the sample rate is controlled entirely by the
external source, and not by the digital audio program’s sample rate parameter.
Because of this, you must make sure that the external clock source is actually set to
the same sample rate as the digital audio program. If the two are different, it can
result in audio playing back faster or slower than expected.

Setting the word clock source in the OASYS PCI Editor

You can set the OASYS PCI’s sample rate and word clock source from within the
OASYS PCI Editor. To do so:
1. In the OASYS PCI Editor, select Preferences… from the Edit menu.
The Preferences window will appear.
2. Click on the MIDI/Global tab.
The MIDI/Global page will appear.
The Sample Rate and Clock Source parameters are in the Global Settings section, in
the lower right-hand corner of the window.
3. Set the Sample Rate and Clock Source as desired.

OASYS PCI 33
 System Configurations Installation and Setup

NOTE: This is only recommended when using the OASYS PCI as a stand-alone
synthesizer and/or effects processor. When using OASYS PCI in conjunction with
digital audio software, we recommend setting these parameters from within the
English

audio software instead, as described below.

Setting the word clock source in digital audio software

When using the OASYS PCI with ASIO-compatible digital audio programs (or
other programs which directly support the OASYS PCI), you should set the
sample rate and clock source within the audio program. This will ensure that the
audio program and the OASYS PCI agree on the current settings.
The OASYS PCI Editor’s settings will reflect the clock and sample rate settings
made within the digital audio program.
For information on setting the clock source within a specific digital audio
program, please refer to the program’s manual.

Using only the OASYS PCI’s analog input and output

You can use the OASYS PCI via only the analog inputs and outputs, if you like,
without any digital connections. In this case, you should generally set the OASYS
PCI’s word clock source to Internal.

Using the OASYS PCI with ADAT-compatible digital mixers

You can connect the OASYS PCI to an ADAT-compatible digital mixer in various
ways, depending on your other equipment and your personal preference.

Mixer as word clock master

The simplest way is to use the mixer as the word clock master. In this case:
1. Connect the OASYS PCI’s ADAT optical input and output to the mixer.
2. Make sure that the mixer is set to use its internal clock.
3. Set the OASYS PCI’s word clock source to ADAT.

OASYS PCI as word clock master

In some cases, you may wish to use the OASYS PCI as the master clock. In this
case:
1. Connect the OASYS PCI’s ADAT optical input and output to the mixer.
2. Set the OASYS PCI’s word clock source to Internal.
3. Set the mixer to use the OASYS PCI’s ADAT output as the master clock.

External word clock generator as master

You may also wish to use a stand-alone word clock generator or SMPTE-to-digital
audio converter as the master. In this case:

34 OASYS PCI
Installation and Setup System Configurations

1. Connect the word clock generator’s output to the word clock input of both
the mixer and the OASYS PCI.
2. Set the word clock source of both devices to Word Clock.

Using the OASYS PCI with ADAT-compatible A/D and D/A converters
You can connect the OASYS PCI to ADAT-compatible A/D and D/A converters in
various ways, depending on your other equipment and your personal preference.

OASYS PCI as word clock master

With a combined A/D and D/A converter, it will generally be easiest to use the
OASYS PCI as the word clock master. In this case:
1. Connect both the OASYS PCI’s ADAT input and output to the converter.
2. Set the OASYS PCI’s word clock source to Internal.
3. Set the converter to use the ADAT input as the clock source.

Converter as word clock master

You may also use the converter as the clock source. In this case:
1. Connect both the OASYS PCI’s ADAT input and output to the converter.
2. Set the converter to use its internal clock.
3. Set the OASYS PCI’s word clock source to ADAT.

English
External word clock generator as master
You may also wish to use a stand-alone word clock generator or SMPTE-to-digital
audio converter as the master. In this case:
1. Connect the word clock generator’s output to the word clock input of both
the converter and the OASYS PCI.
2. Set the word clock source of both devices to Word Clock.

Using the OASYS PCI with ADAT-compatible tape machines

The OASYS PCI will work equally well in a system with only one ADAT-
compatible tape machine (from now on, we’ll just call that an “ADAT” for short), or
in a more complex system with multiple ADATs and a remote controller, such as
the Alesis BRC.
To connect the OASYS PCI to an ADAT system:
1. Connect the ADATs together as usual, with the sync and optical outputs
from ADAT #1 going into ADAT #2, from ADAT #2 to ADAT #3, and so on.
2. Connect the sync output from the last ADAT to the OASYS PCI’s ADAT
Timecode Input.
3. Connect the optical outputs from the last ADAT to the optical inputs of the
OASYS PCI.

4. Connect the optical output of the OASYS PCI to the optical input of ADAT
#1.
5. If using an Alesis BRC, connect the BRC’s sync output to ADAT #1’s sync
English

input, and then connect the Word Clock output of the OASYS PCI to the
48kHz Input of the BRC.
This connection is necessary when recording from the OASYS PCI’s S/PDIF input.
6. For general use, set the OASYS PCI’s word clock source to ADAT, and the
ADAT system’s word clock source to Internal.
For details on setting the word clock source for a particular ADAT model, see the
ADAT’s manual, or the OASYS PCI FAQ.
Below is a nifty little diagram, showing the OASYS PCI hooked up in a simple

Installation and Setup System Configurations

Using the OASYS PCI with S/PDIF devices (DAT, effects, etc.)
There are two broad classifications of S/PDIF devices: those which can use an
external clock to control their digital output, and those which cannot. These two
types require different settings on the OASYS PCI.

Devices which do not accept external word clock

Many S/PDIF devices don’t have a separate setting for the word clock source. For
instance, many DAT machines automatically use incoming digital audio data as the
word clock source when recording, and automatically use the internal clock source
when playing back. Some stand-alone A/D converters also may not accept an
external word clock input.
When recording from such devices, all the other devices must slave to the S/PDIF
device’s clock.
1. Connect the digital audio cables between the S/PDIF input and output of
the OASYS PCI and the S/PDIF device.
2. When recording from the S/PDIF device into a digital audio program, set the
OASYS PCI’s word clock source to S/PDIF.
3. When playing back into the S/PDIF device from a digital audio program, set
the OASYS PCI’s word clock source to Internal (or ADAT, if you generally
use an ADAT system as the master clock source).

English
Devices which accept external word clock
Some S/PDIF devices, on the other hand, may allow you to freely select between
internal and external word clock. Some may use a dedicated word clock input;
others may use the clock signal received at their S/PDIF input.
When using the OASYS PCI with these devices, you don’t need to change word
clock settings between recording and playback. Instead:
1. Connect the digital audio cables between the S/PDIF input and output of
the OASYS PCI and the S/PDIF device.
2. If the S/PDIF device has a dedicated word clock input, connect the word
clock output of the OASYS PCI to the word clock input of the S/PDIF
device.
3. Set the S/PDIF device to use the external clock source.
4. In the digital audio program, set the OASYS PCI’s word clock source to
Internal or ADAT, as desired.
You can also use a dedicated word clock source as the master for the OASYS PCI. In
this case, connect the word clock output of the master device to the word clock
input of the OASYS PCI, and set the OASYS PCI’s word clock source to Word
Clock.

are sent out continuously, one after another, at a very steady pace. This is similar to
two jugglers passing balls between each other, while at the same time keeping up
their own steady juggling patterns.
When one device sends out a bit of data (like the ball being thrown to the other
juggler), the other needs to be ready to receive it. If the data is being sent even just
slightly faster than it can be received, bits will be lost, causing errors in the audio
(like the ball being dropped).
Similarly, if the data is being sent even slightly slower than the receiver expects it
to be, then the receiver will occasionally be left without real data at its input (like a
juggler grabbing at the air). In digital audio, these errors show up as loud pops
and clicks, as well as lower-level noise.
The rate at which those bits are sent and received is controlled by the word clock,
which “ticks” for every bit of data. Each device has its own word clock, so that it
can work on its own–such as a single ADAT, or a single OASYS PCI.
When you send digital audio data between two or more devices, however, their
word clocks need to be synchronized together, so that devices send and receive
each bit at the exact same moment. One of the devices–usually the sender–will
provide the master clock; the others must be set to ignore their internal clocks, and
instead slave to the master clock.
This clock signal is normally carried along with the digital audio data, so that
when connecting two devices together in a simple configuration–such as
connecting OASYS PCI to a digital mixer, or dubbing between two DAT
machines–you don’t need to make any other connections. You will, however, need
to make sure that only one device is providing the master clock, and that all the
other devices are set so that they slave their clocks to the master (or to another
slave device).
Sometimes, it may also necessary to send the word clock separately from the
digital audio data. For instance, you may be using a dedicated word clock
generator, or a SMPTE-digital audio synchronizer. In this case, as before, you need
to make sure that all devices are set to slave to the master clock.
It is best to set up a studio to use a single clock, and to stay with that clock at all
times (or as much as possible). This will help to ensure that all timing and pitch
remains the same.

Loading and playing Multis

Now that you’ve installed the OASYS PCI hardware and software, let’s play some
sounds!
1. Make sure that the analog outputs of the OASYS PCI are connected to your
mixer or sound system, and that your MIDI controller (keyboard, guitar,
etc.) is connected to your computer, and is set to transmit on MIDI channel
1.
The Korg preset Multis respond to MIDI channel 1, and play from the card’s
analog outputs.
If you are using OASYS PCI with Windows, skip to step 3.
If you are using OASYS PCI with MacOS, follow step 2:
2. If you have set up the OASYS PCI to use OMS, follow the instructions
under “Using the OASYS PCI Editor as a stand-alone OMS program” on
page 22. After this, go on to step 3.
or
If you have set up the OASYS PCI to use FreeMIDI, follow the instructions
under “Using the OASYS PCI Editor as a stand-alone FreeMIDI program”
on page 25. After this, go on to step 3.
or
If you have set up the OASYS PCI to use the standard serial MIDI
interface, go on to step 3.
The installer program will have opened two folders on the desktop. One of these is
named “OASYS PCI Demo Multis.” This folder contains a number of demo
sounds, which show off different aspects of the OASYS PCI.
3. Open one of the demo Multis, by double-clicking its icon on the desktop.
The OASYS PCI Editor will open, and the selected Multi will appear. Multis are
complete setups for the OASYS PCI, including all of the settings for the onboard
digital mixer, along with all settings for synthesizer sounds and effects.
4. Play on your MIDI controller.
Enjoy!
When you’d like to hear another sound:
5. If you’ve opened any other windows, make sure that the main Mixer
window is in the foreground.
6. Select Close from the File menu.
The window will close. Since you closed the main Mixer window, the Multi will
close as well. If you’ve changed anything, a message will appear asking if you’d

40 OASYS PCI
Getting Started Instant Gratification

like to save your changes; press the Don’t Save button (MacOS) or the No button
(Windows).
7. In the desktop, double-click on the icon of another Multi.
or
Select Open… from the File Menu, and select a new Multi.
As the shampoo bottles say, “repeat as desired.”
After you’re done listening to a few sounds, make sure to read at least the chapter
“Using the OASYS PCI” in the Users Guide. There’s a lot to the OASYS PCI, and we
wouldn’t want to you miss anything!
Specifically, for more information on loading sounds, see the “Using Multis”
section in the Users Guide. For information on loading effects, see “Using Effects”
in the Users Guide.

File Types
The OASYS PCI use a number of different file types to organize and store sounds.
Each of these types is briefly described below.

Multis
A Multi is a single, complete setup for the OASYS PCI. It includes all of the
settings for the Mixer windows, and for the Programs, Patches, and Effects being
used. The Multi also includes settings for all Program Edit windows, and all
Control Panel parameters for the Patches and Effects.
To put it another way, Multis store all of the settings in the Mixer, Send Busses,
Output Busses, Channel Parameters, Program Edit, and Control Panel windows-
everything except for the Preferences and ASIO Control Panel windows.
For more information, see the “Using Multis” section in the Users Guide.

Programs
Programs are the basic sounds of the OASYS PCI, and must be placed on a Mixer
Channel to be played. They play one or two Patches, which can be layered or split
by key and velocity ranges. They also have up to four Insert Effects, which appear
in the Mixer Channel. Programs store all Control Panel settings for their Patches
and Effects.
For more information, see the “Using Programs & Patches” section in the Users
Guide.

Effects-Only Programs
Effects-Only Programs store all of the Insert Effects for a Mixer Channel, including
all Effects Control Panel parameters. You can use them to load chains of Effects
into a Mixer Channel, or to store such chains for use elsewhere.
Effects-Only Programs are just normal Programs without any Patches loaded into
the Patch slots. Unlike normal Programs, Effects-Only Programs can be used on
any type of input, including Audio Inputs, Streams, or even other Programs.
In the Korg factory voicing, they will be placed in the Programs section of the
folder named “Korg FX Programs.”
For more information, see the “Using Effects” section in the Users Guide.

Patches
Patches are the basic units of sound creation on the OASYS PCI. They must be
placed in a Program in order to be played. Each Patch contains its own synthesis
algorithm, which may be quite different from one Patch to another. The Patch

42 OASYS PCI
Getting Started What are...?

Control Panel allows you to edit the parameters of a Patch; those parameters may
be very different, depending on the Patch’s synthesis algorithm.
For more information, see the “Using Programs & Patches” section in the Users
Guide.

Effects
Effects are used to modify the sound of Patches, Audio Inputs, or Streams. They can
be used as insert effects in the Mixer Channels and Output Busses, or as send effects
via the Send Busses.
Each Effect contains its own audio processing algorithm, which may be quite
different from one Effect to another. The Patch Control Panel allows you to edit the
parameters of an Effect; those parameters may be very different, depending on the
Effect’s synthesis algorithm.
For more information, see the “Using Effects” section in the Users Guide.

Samples
A Sample is an audio file, which can be placed in a Multisample (see below) and
then played back by sample-based OASYS PCI Patches. OASYS PCI recognizes 16-
bit and 24-bit samples in a number of different formats, including AIFF, WAV,
Sound Designer II, and Korg’s proprietary .kes format.
For more information, see the “Using Samples & Multisamples” section in the

English
Users Guide.

Multisamples
Multisamples are collections of one or more Samples assigned to ranges across the
keyboard. Each key range has offsets for common parameters, such as volume, pan,
filter cutoff, decay, and so on, which can be used to adjust Patch parameters
individually for each Sample.
For more information, see “Using Samples & Multisamples” section in the Users
Guide.

OASYS PCI Editor

The OASYS PCI Editor program allows you to control all of the sound production
and audio processing aspects of the OASYS PCI, including all mixer settings,
loading of Programs and Effects, and all Program, Patch, and Effects parameters.
If you are using the OASYS PCI in conjunction with a digital audio program, you
should leave the OASYS PCI Editor running in the background, so that you can
switch to it for editing Programs and Effects.

OASYS PCI Engine

The OASYS PCI Engine controls the low-level functions of the OASYS PCI system,
such as sending and receiving MIDI, playing sounds, and so on. It will
automatically start up whenever the OASYS PCI is being used, and will

OASYS PCI 43
 What are...? Getting Started

automatically quit again when it is not. On MacOS systems, it’s located in the
System Extensions folder; on Windows systems, it’s located in the
windows/system directory.
English

You don’t interact directly with the OASYS PCI Engine itself; instead, you control
it via the OASYS PCI Editor and any audio and/or MIDI software being used.

Getting Started User Interface & Shortcuts

User Interface & Shortcuts

Wherever possible, the OASYS PCI supports standard user interface concepts.
There are buttons to push, sliders to drag, numerical fields to type in, and so on.
There are a few items and concepts which bear mentioning, as discussed below.

Volume faders
Double-clicking on a volume fader in a Mixer Channel, Send Bus, or Output Bus
will set the fader to 0dB (unity gain), a value of 111.

Knobs
Knobs are used in the Mixer windows and the Control Panel. You can move knobs
by dragging the mouse either up and down, or left and right, as if you were moving
a slider. They are not designed to be “turned” in a circular motion; doing so will
produce undesired results!
For fine control, you can increment and decrement the knob’s value using the up
and down arrows on the keyboard. You can also type directly into the value box.
Double-clicking on a knob will set it to its 12 o’clock position. For example, double-
clicking on the Mixer’s Pan knobs sets them to 64 (center).
Send knobs are the one exception to this. As with volume faders, double-clicking a

English
send knob sets it to 0dB (unity gain), a value of 111.

Value boxes
A value box displays a numerical value, such as a volume level or a filter cutoff.
You can edit value boxes in several different ways, as described below:
Typing. You can type directly into the selected value box. Typed edits take effect
when you press return, tab, or enter; when you click on another value box, or on
another window; or when you move another knob, slider, button, or menu.
Arrow keys. You can increment and decrement the selected value box by pressing
the up and down arrow keys on the computer keyboard.
Mouse dragging. You can edit a value box by simply clicking in the box and then
dragging the mouse up or down, as you were moving a slider. Dragging up
increments the value, and dragging down decrements the value.

Drag-and-drop
To load Programs, Patches, or Effects, just drag them from the Catalog window into
the desired slot.
Alternately, you can select a slot, and then double-click on the name of the
Program, Patch, or Effect in the Catalog window.

OASYS PCI 45
 User Interface & Shortcuts Getting Started

You can also use drag-and-drop to copy Programs, Patches, and Effects between
slots. Just click on the name of the Program, Patch, or Effect that you’d like to copy,
and drag it to the new location.
English

Delete key
Pressing the Delete key will remove the currently selected Program, Patch, or
Effect from the current Multi or Program.

Bypassing Effects
To bypass a single Effect, click on the slot number to the left of the Effect name.
To bypass all Effects in a Channel, Send, or Output Bus, option-click (MacOS) or
CTRL-click (Windows) on any of the Effects slot numbers.

Clearing clip indicators

To clear a meter’s clip indicators, click on them. To clear all clip indicators on the
Mixer, option-click (MacOS) or CTRL-click (Windows) on any clip indicator.

For troubleshooting tips, look in the OASYS PCI FAQ

FAQ stands for “Frequently Asked Questions.” The OASYS PCI FAQ, which is
automatically installed with the OASYS PCI software, contains a complete website
devoted to troubleshooting, compatibility, and usage tips.
The FAQ is in HTML format, so that it can be read by any standard web browser,
such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. To search through the FAQ, start
by opening the document named “OASYS PCI_faq_index.htm.”
In addition to the FAQ installed with the OASYS PCI software, the latest version
can always be found at the Korg website, at http://www.korg.com.

That’s nice, but I can’t start my computer

We sincerely hope that the OASYS PCI will never interfere with your computer
starting up. If you think this is the case, however, you can try the following:
1. Start up with extensions disabled (MacOS only).
Start with extensions disabled by turning on the computer’s power and then
immediately holding down the Shift key. Keep holding the Shift key throughout
the startup process, until the Finder desktop appears.
Once the computer is started properly, you can remove the OASYS PCI extensions
from the System folder if necessary (or better, disable them using the Extensions
Manager control panel).
You can then restart with the extensions required for the web browser, and look
through the OASYS PCI FAQ for a solution.
2. Make sure that the OASYS PCI card is firmly seated in the PCI slot.
If the card is not seated properly, this can interfere with the computer in
unpredictable ways.
3. If all else fails, physically remove the card from the computer.
This will at least eliminate the possibility that the OASYS PCI is the root of the
problem.
