E-WDM technology (Enhanced Audio MIDI Driver) is a proprietary project of ESI, which enhances the original architectural concept of Microsoft WDM-drivers.
E-WDM (Enhanced Audio MIDI Driver) from ESI perfectly accommodates the original concept of WDM technology from Microsoft. It's the one true "One for All, All for One" driver among the many audio drivers utilizing the WDM name for today's various Windows OS environments. Unlike those other drivers that only took their name from WDM but offer limited performance and compatibility in WDM based operating systems, E-WDM adopts all the features of WDM technology and beyond. Our own unique driver model, the E-WDM, adds functions and features that meet the requirements that professional digital audio demands. Here are a few fantastic features of E-WDM.
Aside from standard features, E-WDM offers functions required for professional sound processing:
Aside from Win XP/2000, it also supports Win Me/98 SE
Based on the WDM architecture, E-WDM drivers work fine under all WDM compatible Windows operating systems, while WDM drivers of other sound cards often work only in W2K and XP, offering VxD drivers for Win98SE and ME.
GIGAStudio 2000 support
From the very beginning E-WDM drivers were developed for professional applications. The popular software sampler GIGAStudio from Tascam is fully supported with the extremely low latency of 1.5 ms.
ASIO 2.0 support
ASIO 2.0 is the de facto standard, and E-WDM supports it with just a 3.0 ms latency.
Independent support for MME applications
Several MME applications can be used simultaneously, and the drivers will not complain that the device is busy. This is also useful for old applications, which are not supported by WDM drivers.
Multi-client support
An unlimited number of audio applications can be accessed simultaneously with the multi-client support. You can use SONAR and WinAmp via a single sound device.
Multi-channel support
It supports 5.1 output format for software DVD-Video players, such as WinDVD and Power DVD. This function is also useful for WDM applications, such as SONAR, especially in terms of the input/output channel synchronization.
DirectMUSIC MIDI ports
WDM-based multi-channel MIDI-driver from ESI offers a more stable timing than the built-in MIDI-timing in NT4 or Windows 9X.
DirectSound support
E-WDM offers support for several DirectSound channels for multi-channel output in such applications as PCDJ (DJ software).
No signal attenuation at -6 dB
Unlike the situation with several other drivers, E-WDM guarantees the signal level exactly according to the existing standard.
Ultra-low latency, less than 1.5 ms
E-WDM drivers provide comfortable work due to the minimal latency. Buffer size can be set in drivers.
DirectWIRE: audio stream visual routing technology
DirectWIRE is a technology for visual software routing of signals, which is currently available in most ESI products. Signals are routed on the level of drivers, bit-to-bit, without quality loss.
DirectWIRE 1.0 technology appeared in ESI Waveterminal 2496/192 when the Gigastudio sampler was still widely popular and initially it served to convert MIDI-tracks to WAV from Gigastudio (GSIF interface) into Cubase (ASIO) or into Cakewalk/SONAR1 (MME).
DirectWIRE is ESI's amazing software that allows you to virtually patch all of your digital audio internally between various software programs. In this latest version,
What is DirectWIRE? DirectWIRE is a driver technology, developed by ESI, which can be used for routing audio streams internally within applications using E-WDM Audio MIDI Drivers exclusively developed by ESI. With the DirectWIRE router, an application can record from other application's audio outputs without external wiring or any loss of data when they are running at the same time.DirectWIRE also allows you to easily rip any audio stream in real time by transferring data thru DirectWIRE from MP3s, live On-line Broadcast and On-demand content, and more.
DirectWIRE Panel Click on DirectWIRE on the console. The DirectWIRE panel window as shown below will appear. DirectWIRE digital virtual wiring technology, developed by ESI, routes audio streams internally within applications using standard audio drivers such as WDM, ASIO and MME, even when they are running at the same time.The number on the row represents the input or output port.The columns represents ins and outs(on and off) of the respected drivers.Patch the virtual cables from one point to another as you drag your mouse point.
Input : The Input section is a new feature of DirectWIRE 3.0. It's used to route signals from the card's hardware inputs.
MME : The MME section represents the normal stereo I/O of an application, for example WinAmp, WaveLab, and etc.
WDM : The WDM section means SONAR, PowerDVD, WinDVD I/O, etc.
ASIO : The ASIO section refers to I/O from Cubase, Logic, Reason, and other ASIO supported programs. Recording from DVD software to an ASIO based software using DirectWIRE routing.
GSIF : The GSIF section stands for GigaStudio I/O as of version 2.42 or higher (note that Gigasampler is not supported).
DirectWIRE 3.0 automatically installs in your Control Panel and can be easily activated by a simple click of the mouse. DirectWIRE 3.0 is currently available for ESI's MaXiO series, ESP series, Juli@, 192 series(driver v.5.01 or higher) including the WaMiRack 192 X, and L and Waveterminal 192 X, L, and M.
Juli@ stands out against other ESI products with its MIDI I/O, digital RCA I/O, and a digital optical output. You had to buy a separate MI/ODI/O module to get these features in Audiotrak MAYA44MKII and ESI Waveterminal 192X/L. Though there are also modifications with MI/ODI/O module in a box now, it occupies an additional bracket among PCI slots.
