Who Should Remain on Previous Releases
- Apogee SBus is not currently supported in this release. If SBus is critical to your legacy Symphony system, remain on the Symphony 64 Sept. 09 release.
- The use of two Symphony 64 cards is not supported with this release. If you are using 2 Symphony 64 cards with legacy interfaces, remain on the Symphony 64 Sept. 09 release.
- The Save / Load functionality from Maestro 1 is no longer available; saved Maestro 1 setups will not be loadable into Maestro 2. If you need to Save and Load Maestro setups you should remain on the Symphony 64 Sept. 09 release.
- The Avid EuCon control protocol is not supported in Maestro 2.
To update
- If youʼre installing this release over a previously installed version of Symphony 64/Maestro 1, you should run the Symphony64 Uninstaller before updating to 4.2. If youʼre installing this release over a previously installed version of Symphony I/O software, you should run the SymphonyIO Uninstaller. If youʼve installed both versions, you should run both uninstallers.
- Double-click the Symphony System Software Installer and follow the instructions provided by the installation application.
- No firmware updates are required - the Symphony IO Firmware Updater is for Symphony I/O users only.
- You will be required to re-start your computer once installation is complete.
After updating -
After
updating
,
verify
that
the
Symphony
Source
setting
(
found
in
the
Maestro
2
&
gt
;
System
Setup
tab
and
Audio
MIDI
Setup
)
is
set
to
the
appropriate
Port
setting
:
- If interfaces are connected only to Port 1, set Source to Port 1 Chs 1-32.
- If interfaces are connected to both Ports 1-2, set Source to Ports 1-2 chs 1-64.
New Features - Legacy interfaces
- The “A” icon that previously appeared in the Apple Menu bar has been removed - Look in Maestro 2ʼs Toolbar System Status display for system information.
- To distinguish between an AD16X and DA16X when the interface is set to Advanced routing mode or a Rosetta 800 and 200, the setting Device Type is provided in Maestro 2 (Device Settings tab). This ensures that audio paths displayed in the Input and Output Routing tabs correspond to the actual hardware I/O. If neither a 16X Series in Advanced routing nor a Rosetta is connected, the Device Type drop down is not displayed.
Known issues - Legacy DA16X Interface
- When a single DA16X is connected in Advanced routing mode, it will initially appear as an AD16X. Simply choose DA16X under Maestro 2ʻs Device Settings > Device Type drop down menu for the interface to be correctly detected.
- When using Symphony I/O and legacy interfaces together, Routing tabs may not display the proper number of inputs and outputs. To work around this issue, restart the computer.
- The AD16X may initially be detected as a Rosetta 800. Workaround - restart the computer.
Using Legacy Apogee Interfaces with OS X Lion & Maestro 2
- Note that at the current time, the use of only 1 Symphony 64 card is supported regardless of the interface connected.
- When connecting legacy Apogee interfaces to a Symphony 64 or Mobile card, ensure that the interfaces are connected in a supported hardware combination, as listed below. With a Symphony 64 card, itʼs possible to connect one supported combination to each port.
- When connecting both Symphony I/Os and legacy Apogee interfaces to a Symphony 64 card, connect the Symphony I/O to Port 1 Channels 1-32 port and legacy interfaces (in a supported combination) to the Port 2 Channels 1-64 port.
- Legacy Apogee interfaces donʼt include Loop clock functionality (as found on Symphony I/O). Thus, when legacy interfaces are connected to a Symphony 64 card, the “Use Loop Sync” checkbox does not appear and Loop sync functionality is defeated on the Symphony I/O. Use one of the clock configurations described on pages 6-7 of the Symphony 64 Userʼs Guide v1.1.

Yes
,
Symphony
I
/
O
can
be
used
with
Legacy
interfaces
with
software release 4.2 and
greater
.
Please
note
the
following
instructions
to
do
so
:
- The rule for Symphony I/O connection is- "1 Symphony I/O per port", so that means the supported configuration is 1 Symphony I/O on port 1 of the Symphony64 card and any Legacy interfaces on port 2 of the Symphony64 card. You can't daisy-chain Symphony I/O's, but you can daisy-chain Legacy interfaces.
- First, make sure your Legacy interface (AD16x, DA16x, Rosetta 200, Rosetta 800) have an X-Symphony option card properly installed with the current X-Symphony firmware (version 2.7)
- Connect your Symphony I/O directly to your computer's USB ports- don't use a hub. Power up the Symphony I/O.
- Download the latest Symphony I/O Release package from our website.
- With the unit powered up, open the Symphony I/O firmware updater included in the Release download and run it.
- After the firmware has successfully updated, connect the Symphony I/O to the first port of the Symphony64 PCIE card using a PC-32 cable. Connect one end of the cable to the "main port" on the back of the first Symphony I/O and the other end of the cable to the 1st port (on the left) of the Symphony64 card.
- Connect the 1st Legacy device to the 2nd port of the Symphony64 card using a PC-32 cable. Connect one end of the cable to the "primary port" on the back of the 1st Legacy device and the other end of the cable to the 2nd port (on the right) of the Symphony64 card. Chain any additional Legacy devices using the "primary" and "expansion" ports.
- If you're using multiple Legacy devices, send the Word Clock output of the 1st Legacy device to the Word Clock input of the 2nd Legacy device and so on, using BNC cables and t-connectors, if necessary.
- Send the Word Clock output of the Symphony I/O to the Word Clock input of the 1st Legacy device using a BNC cable.
- Make sure the Symphony I/O is set for "SYM AIM" (Symphony Audio Interface Mode) by pressing in and holding on the right side encoder on the front-panel until it brings you to the AIM menu. If it says "Symphony", it's already in SYM AIM... you can just push in on the encoder again to exit the menu. If not, scroll through the menu until it says "Symphony" and then push in on the encoder again. The unit will power down and restart itself in SYM AIM.
- Power up all the Legacy devices and make sure they're set for "External Word Clock" as their clock source.
- Run the software installer included in the Release download. Restart the computer.
- After the computer restarts, open up "Audio MIDI Setup" (Applications> Utilities> Audio MIDI Setup). Select "Symphony64" in the left-hand device column. Make sure it's selected as your computer's default i/o. The speaker and microphone icons should appear next to it... if they don't, click on the drop-down menu below with the "gear" icon and select both "Use this device for sound input" and "Use this device for sound output".
- With "Symphony64" selected in Audio MIDI Setup, go to the center part of the Audio MIDI Setup window and set the "Source" drop-down menu to "PCI Card 1, Port 1-2 (Chs 1-64)". Quit Audio MIDI Setup and restart your computer.
- After the computer restarts, wait for the system to configure- the exclamation mark (!) icon on the front-panel of Symphony I/O will eventually go away and the Legacy units will switch to "Ext" clocking... After this happens, launch Maestro2 and confirm that all the interfaces show up properly. If a device is showing up as the wrong unit, such as a DA16x in Advanced routing showing up as an AD16x, go to the "Device Settings" tab in Maestro2, highlight the device in the left-hand device column and then select "DA16x" in the "Device Type" drop-down menu. Quit Maestro and restart the computer. If an AD16x in standard routing is showing up as a Rosetta800, quit Maestro and restart the computer.
