The purpose of exclusive mode is to optimise your setup to achieve minimal latency.
USING MELODICS WITH BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES WINDOWS
On Windows machines, you may have the option to use your audio device in ‘exclusive mode’. This option will only appear if your selected audio device has more than one pair of ‘main’ outputs. Melodics audio is in stereo, so the outputs to choose from are in stereo pairs: 1&2, 3&4, etc.

If your audio interface has multiple outputs to choose from, you can select the specific outputs you would like to use. Note: if you make changes to your system audio settings, you will need to restart Melodics for these changes to take effect. Or if you are already using this audio device as your system’s default output, you can simply select ‘OS Default’ in Melodics. If you are using an external audio interface connected via USB, you can choose this device in the ‘selected device’ dropdown menu. The default device selected in Melodics settings is called ‘OS Default’. While you’re there, check that your system volume is turned up.

This may be your computer’s built-in speakers or the headphone jack output – it depends on what device you have selected in System Preferences (macOS) or Sound Settings (Windows 10). By default, Melodics will use the same settings as your operating system. The term ‘audio device’ refers to any speakers, headphones, or audio interface that attaches to a computer for the purpose of playing sound.
