ADAT to Host: When “ADAT to Host” is enabled, the ADAT Optical input of the Delta 1010-AIbecomes hardware inputs one through eight of the Delta 1010 Recording System. When this mode is selected, the 8 analog inputs on the Delta 1010 rack-mount unit are no longer routed to the Delta 1010 PCI card. In your music recording software, software inputs 1 through 8 will then receive their signal from the ADAT Optical input. Select this mode when recording an ADAT Optical signal into your computer.
IMPORTANT: When choosing ADAT to Host mode, you must now set the Delta 1010 to receive its master clock source from the ADAT optical signal seen at the Delta 1010-AI ADAT Optical input. To do so, open the Delta control panel in your computer to the Hardware Settings page, and in the Master Clock section select “Wordclock” as your master clock source. When the Delta 1010- AI is ADAT optical input is engaged and Wordclock is selected as the master clock, the wordclock input of the Delta 1010 rack unit is rendered inactive.
NOTE: If you are using the ASIO drivers with your Delta 1010, your master clock setting will be selected from within your music program’s audio setup page. Once you have opened that page, select “Wordclock” as your master clock source.
You must also set the Delta control panel to match the sample rate of your ADAT optical device. Typically, ADATs default to 48kHz sampling rate, but they can be set to 44.1kHz using the Alesis BRC.
ADAT to Analog Outs: With this mode enabled, the ADAT Optical input on the Delta 1010-AIis routed through the Delta 1010 rack mount unit 24 bit D/A converters to analog outs 1 through 8. The audio outs of the Delta 1010 PCI card, which are normally routed to the analog outs of the 1010’s rack unit, are defeated. Select this mode when you wish to use the D/A converters of the Delta 1010 rack unit to convert your ADAT Optical signal to analog.
NOTE: As stated, unless a different routing is selected, the audio outs of the Delta 1010 PCI card are routed, by default, to the ADAT Optical output of the Delta 1010-AI unit.
IMPORTANT: When choosing ADAT to Analog Outs mode, you must also set the Delta 1010 to receive its master clock source from the ADAT optical signal seen at the Delta 1010-AI ADAT Optical input. To do so, open the Delta control panel in your computer to the Hardware Settings page, and in the Master Clock section select “Wordclock” as your master clock source.
