328XD Configuration, Wordclock, Tape Ports

328XD CONFIGURATION

Wordclock

To configure the 328XD as the wordclock master, enter the 328XD Menu page by pressing the <MENU> button to the right hand side of the LCD display. Using the PARAM encoder beneath the display, scroll up or down until the ‘Clock Source Sel’ menu is highlighted, and press <ENTER>. Here, either ‘Internal 44.1kHz’ or ‘Internal 48kHz’ clock must be selected for the 328XD to function as wordclock master. Set this to the sample rate you wish to work at. Press <ENTER> to confirm the sample rate setting and <MENU> to return to the menu pages.

Tape Ports

To ensure that the 328XD Tape Ports are set to ADAT to work with the 1212, enter the 328XD Menu pages by pressing the <MENU> button to the right hand side of the LCD display. Using the PARAM encoder beneath the display, scroll up or down until the ‘Tape Port Select’ menu is highlighted and press <ENTER>.

Now repeatedly press the Up cursor arrow until the ‘<Tape Ch17-24 >’ menu page is displayed. Using the rotary encoder, set the ‘Bank Source’ to ‘ADAT’. Press the Down cursor arrow once, to set the wordlength with the PARAM encoder:

The 1212 is capable of 20-bit recording, and so for optimum results, a setting of 20-bit can be selected here. If your audio sequencer software only allows 16-bit recording, 16-bit should be selected. The sequencer manuals should be consulted for further information.

Set the desired wordlength on the 328XD with the PARAM encoder.

Press the <MENU> button to return to the main menu.
