Latency Group settings

The Latency Group field on the VST Rack lets you group together specified plug-ins and synchronize the latencies of the racks within each group. When using the Auto settings, the rack with the maximum latency within a group is shown; when using the Manual settings, you can input a numeric value by double-clicking.

Bypass feature, just in case things go awry

When using the VST Rack with the RUio16-D, a bypass feature is available to minimize any trouble that may occur. This feature is used if a problem occurs on your computer, preventing any trouble that might stop the sound on the entire system. You can adjust how long it takes for this function to activate, determined by how long the system is out of operation.
