UDIO DRIVER

When using a DAW on a SoundGrid network, the SoundGrid ASIO/Core Audio driver serves as a bridge between the I/O 
device and the DAW. It enables the I/O to communicate with the DAW, and it provides patches. Patching an I/O to the 
SoundGrid ASIO/Core Audio driver differs slightly among hosts. When you use a host’s Auto-Config tool, the host input 
channels are patched automatically, in an order based on rack. The order of the devices in the Device Rack determines 
the default patching order. Please refer to your SoundGrid host’s user guide for details.
