If you haven't found this already, here's the basic info about SSL ASIO:
Quote:
The ASIO driver allows you to use the SL 1 or the TTM 57SL hardware with thrid party pro audio software applications. Read more about ASIO here - en.wikipedia.org
"CoreAudio" is the equivalent on Mac OS. We do not have CoreAudio drivers at this stage.
SL 1 ASIO
Windows XP installation:
The driver takes up very little space and consumes no system resources at all if not used, so installation will take place automatically by default. You may opt not to install the ASIO drivers by selecting a "Custom Install" and deselecting the ASIO drivers item in the list.
- With the SL1 interface connected, select "SL 1 Driver" from the audio device configuration screen within your preferred ASIO host application. Note that Scratch LIVE cannot be running at the same time, or incorrect operation of both applications may result.
- The SL1 ASIO driver provides you with 6 input channels and 4 output channels as follows:
Inputs
1 & 2: SL1 Input 1 Left/Right
3 & 4: SL1 Input 2 Left/Right
5 & 6: SL1 Mic Input (dual mono, i.e. both 5 & 6 provide the same audio)
Outputs
1 & 2: SL1 Output 1 Left/Right
3 & 4: SL1 Output 2 Left/Right
Please note that inputs 1 - 4 are Line Level only at this stage.
Inputs and Outputs may be used either as stereo pairs or individual mono channels depending on how you select them from your host application.
TTM 57SL ASIO
- This driver allows you to select your input and output; PGM 1 and 2 give you both pre and post fader options - post fader means that the upfaders will control volume.
Windows XP installation:
The driver takes up very little space and consumes no system resources at all if not used, so installation will take place automatically by default. You may opt not to install the ASIO drivers by selecting a "Custom Install" and deselecting the ASIO drivers item in the list.
Example of use - TTM 57SL ASIO driver with Ableton LIVE 5
The ASIO driver will work with any of the hundreds of ASIO compatible host applications available on the market. This example shows a typical setup with the TTM 57SL and Ableton Live, which allows you to mix between different loops playing in Ableton LIVE, and cue new samples in the headphones before mixing them in. (

- Install the ASIO driver, as per the instructions above
- Start Ableton Live, and go to the preferences panel
- Under Driver Type, select ASIO
- Under Audio Device, select TTM 57SL Driver
- Click on Hardware Setup to open the TTM 57SL control panel
- Select PGM-1 pre-fader for the Line 1 Record source and PGM-2 pre-fader for the Line 2 Record source, and click OK to close the control panel
- Click on Input Config and turn on 1/2 (stereo) and 3/4 (Stereo)
- Click on Output Config and turn on 1/2 (stereo) and 3/4 (Stereo)
- Close the Ableton Live preferences panel, and make sure the In/Out are shown in Ableton Live (Click on the View menu)
- Set each "Audio To" option to "Ext Out", and bellow this, choose "1/2" to send audio to PGM-1 on the mixer, or "3/4" to send to PGM-2
Play with the assignments and you will be able to mix between loops, or preview sounds in your headphones before you bring them into the mix.
As far as updating the ASIO drivers, I can only guess that the development team is looking into ways of improving performance when using the SL1 with other applications.
