Standalone operation​

iD44 MKII can operate without a host computer after a mixer configuration has been stored in the interface.

Before storing the standalone state, configure the required:

  • mixer settings
  • digital I/O settings
  • output routing
  • Talkback settings

Store the standalone state​

  1. Connect iD44 MKII to the computer and open the iD Software Mixer.
  2. Configure the mixer and System Panel as required.
  3. Open Setup.
  4. Select Store Standalone State.
  5. Allow the configuration to be stored in iD44 MKII.

The stored configuration is recalled when iD44 MKII is next powered on. Once configured, iD44 MKII can operate from its 12 V power supply without a USB host connection.
