Hi all.
I have an older but good piece of music hardware, the Echo Audio DARLA 20 PCI audio board, and i want it works with osx 10.6 but there is not a valid kext around .....
The Darla's home site @ http://echoaudio.com has only an older driver for ppc.
But they have got the GREAT idea to publish the base C++ classes for developing the driver for their boards.
So my developement is based on the Echo Audio source code C++ classes that the Echo's peoples published @ http://echoaudio.com/Downloads/Developer.php
This driver works with DARLA 20 bit (tested) and should be compatible with all "Echogals" named boards : Darla20, Gina20, Layla20, and Darla24
The driver is configurable at
16 or 24 bits
44100 or 48000 Hz
NOTICE : Darla itselfs outputs only 20 bits. so the last 4 bits of the output is ignored but in the audio control panel you will found '24 bits'.
Tested only in 64 bit mode, but is compiled for i386 mode too, but i'm too lazy to test for now
Tested with l0gic pr0 9.1 (32 bit) on osx 10.6.4 (64 bit) - the audio sounds perfectly fine even eith 96 khz projects (with darla set to 48000/24).
The driver is in its early phase of developement, so don't be afraid if something goes wrong.
