MP2014 MANUAL
Port MIDI Enable enables MIDI commands to/from the MP2014 Mixer controls at the current USB Port. Default is Off.
Port MIDI Channel assigns MIDI channel 1-16 to the MP2014 Mixer at the current USB Port. Default is MIDI channel 1.
USB Port Status indicates the connection status of both USB ports. Active indicates a USB connection between the mixer
and a computer. Local shows the USB Port connected to this control panel's computer.
The Buffer Size control allows the USB buffer to be increased or decreased. This only appears in the Rane Control Panel
for ASIO in Windows. In Mac systems, the buffer control is in the DAW or DJ audio preferences screen and does not appear
here. The Rane driver is designed to run at latencies as low as 5 milliseconds round-trip. However, computer performance
and available resources (number of applications running) may adversely affect the computer’s ability to stream audio
reliably. If pops and clicks are heard in USB audio, try increasing the buffer size to eliminate them. With ASIO, total round-
trip latency is equal to Buffer Size plus device latency. With Core Audio, total round-trip latency is determined by the Buffer
Size set by the DAW/DJ software, plus device latency. Device latency is 3 to 4 ms.
Deck Inputs I-II Tab
Analog Input Source: The analog input for each Deck
must be set appropriately for Phono or CD player using a
switch on the rear of the mixer. The control panel shows the
mode selected by these switches for Decks I and II. This
mode can only be changed on the mixer.
Phono Sensitivity: If a Phono Input is selected on the
mixer (as shown for Deck I) the Sensitivity (mV) adjustment
appears in the panel. Click the down-arrow to display a
list of 16 Sensitivity settings between 2.5mV and 10mV in
0.5mV steps. The default is 5mV. Set the Phono Sensitivity
to the same level of your cartridge (see your cartridge
documentation for the correct value). Another method is to
match the level of the turntable to a CD playing on another
input.
Tone Crossover sets the crossover points of the 3-band Tone controls for each of the Deck channels to either:
• 300 Hz between Low and Mid, 3 kHz between Mid and High.
• 150 Hz between Low and Mid, 6 kHz between Mid and High (default).
