Virtual ASIO
Your DAW opens Routling Virtual ASIO as its audio device - 16 channels each way, at the engine's buffer.
intermediate
Routling stays the owner of your audio interface; your DAW connects to Routling instead, through the Routling Virtual ASIO driver.
- Right-click the canvas → Virtual ASIO.
- In your DAW's audio settings, choose Routling Virtual ASIO. The node changes from waiting to ready.

- One Virtual ASIO node, connected to one DAW at a time.
- The DAW starts at Routling's sample rate and buffer size, and resets to follow when you change them in Routling (RoutlingVASIO.toml).
- Keep the DAW's sample rate the same as Routling's (the device menu). The driver accepts another rate picked in the DAW's settings, but does not convert it: a DAW at 48 kHz into Routling at 44.1 kHz plays slow and low-pitched, the other way round fast and high.
- Each direction adds one engine block of latency.
- Works on the built-in clock and on an ASIO driver.
