The following procedure installs the Orpheus ASIO and WDM drivers, and the Orpheus Control Panel applet, on your Windows PC.  You must have Windows XP, Vista (32-bit) or later, and a spare FireWire 400 (IEEE1394A) port.

 

Connect your Orpheus to the mains supply with the power-cord provided.  DO NOT connect it to the PC yet.

 

Insert the installation disc into a DVD-ROM drive on your PC.

 

If the PC is set to 'Autoplay' , installation will begin automatically, otherwise double-click on the "setup.exe" icon in the root folder of the disc.

 

A welcome screen warns you to shut down other applications prior to installation.  Do so and click 'Next':

 

 

 

You will be asked to agree to the Orpheus EULA - if you agree, click 'Yes':

During installation, you will be prompted to connect the Orpheus to the FireWire port of the PC.  Do so, then click 'Next':

 

 

The Orpheus device's ports should now be visible to Windows and any applications as both ASIO and WDM audio ports, and a bidirectional MIDI port.  Note that only the first two ADAT ports (if enabled by the Orpheus Control Panel applet) are visible in the WDM case.
