Toslink optical cables must be connected between the ADAT Out ports of the 1212 card to the ADAT In ports of the 328XD and vice versa. Coaxial digital S/PDIF cables must also be connected from the 1212 S/PDIF output to the 328XD S/PDIF input and vice versa. In this way, the ADAT connections allow digital transfer of either direct outputs for input channels 1-8 to the 1212 card, or the 328XD's 8 Group outputs. [. . . ] If your audio sequencer software only allows 16-bit recording, 16-bit should be selected. Set the desired wordlength on the 328XD with the PARAM encoder. Press the <MENU> button to return to the main menu. 3 Soundcraft 328XD and Korg 1212 Setup Guide S/PDIF Input The 328XD S/PDIF input can be routed to any one of the following inputs: Stereo Input 1, Stereo Input 2, FX-1, FX-2, 2 Track Tape Return, provided that the AES/EBU input has not already been assigned to that input. Commonly the 1212 S/PDIF output would be routed to Stereo Input 2, or the 2 Track Tape Return input. NOTE: Assigning a digital source to an input will override any analogue signal present on that input. Press <MENU> to enter the menu pages, scroll through the pages until the `SPDIF I/P Setup' menu is highlighted and press <ENTER>. Using the PARAM encoder, select the destination for the S/PDIF input, and press <ENTER> to confirm the setting. Press <MENU> to return to the menu pages. NOTE: If the S/PDIF input is not required, NOWHERE should be selected in the menu. 4 Soundcraft 328XD and Korg 1212 Setup Guide 1212 CONFIGURATION Wordclock The 1212 must be set up to receive the wordclock transmitted by the 328XD (via the BNC connection). Open the Korg 1212 Utility program, accessed via the Korg `1212 IO' program group on the taskbar: 5 Soundcraft 328XD and Korg 1212 Setup Guide Click on the `Clock Source' pull-down menu in the `Word Clock & Sample Rate' section, and select `S/PDIFClockIn'. This sets the 1212 to receive wordclock from its BNC input: Sample Rate Now the 1212 must be configured to playback at the same sample rate as the 328. Click on the `Sample Rate' pull-down menu in the `Word Clock & Sample Rate' section. Here the sample rate which the 1212 plays back can be set between 44. 1kHz and 48kHz: 6 Soundcraft 328XD and Korg 1212 Setup Guide This should be set to the same sample rate as the 328XD was set to in the `Wordclock' section in chapter 2 of this manual. If the 328XD and 1212 are set to different sample rate settings, audio from the 1212 will play back at the incorrect speed. Saving Settings Now click on the `File' drop-down menu, and click on `Save as Default. . . ': Answer `OK' to the window that follows, to confirm that you wish to save the current settings as the default settings. Now, every time that Windows is loaded the Korg 1212 will be automatically set to receive wordclock from its BNC input, and play back at the desired sample rate. 7 Soundcraft 328XD and Korg 1212 Setup Guide USING THE 1212 WITH THE 328XD Accessing the 1212 ADAT I/O from the 328XD The 1212 will commonly be used with a software sequencer / hard disk recorder to allow play back and record 8 individual tracks of audio, via the ADAT I/O. Here, the software application must be configured to access the 1212 ADAT I/O via the relevant Windows device drivers that came with the 1212. [. . . ] The 328XD can also be configured to transmit a stereo signal back to the 1212 via the 1212 S/PDIF input. Here the 328XD can be set to either transmit any of the following signals to the 1212 S/PDIF input: Aux 1/2 sends, Aux 3/4 sends, FX 1/2 dry sends, Groups 1-8 and Control Room The desired setting can be configured via the `S/PDIF O/P Setup' menu on the 328XD (see the 328XD User Guide for full instructions). Again, ensure that the relevant Korg drivers are fully installed for the software application to correctly access the 1212 S/PDIF I/O. 8 Soundcraft 328XD and Korg 1212 Setup Guide ADDITIONAL INFORMATION If used in conjunction with an ADAT, the system should be connected as follows: 9 Soundcraft 328XD and Korg 1212 Setup Guide SOUNDCRAFT HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES LTD CRANBORNE HOUSE CRANBORNE ROAD POTTERS BAR HERTS EN6 3JN UK TEL: +44 (0) 1707 665000 FAX: +44 (0) 1707 660742 EMAIL: info@soundcraft. com SOUNDCRAFT USA 1449 DONELSON PIKE NASHVILLE TN 37217 USA TEL: 1-615-360-0471 FAX: 1-615-360-0273 EMAIL: soundcraft-usa@harman. com www. soundcraft. com 10 Soundcraft 328XD and Korg 1212 Setup Guide [. . . ]
