ADAT in

•We select Normal Sample rate and route ADAT channels to ADAT out.

Clock

•In the DAW you select External - as clock source. This allows you to use the Digital Konnekt x32 as master clock.

•Make sure that all external devices are set to lock to external clock

•The “non- TC Electronic” product is set to lock to external clock. - If this is not possible - use the sample rate c*onverter on Digital konnekt x32 for channel 3/4.

*If your external FX has a fixed sample, you have to run your project using that sample rate.

Now the Digital Konnekt x32 operates as a digital patchbay as well as an excellent master clock.
