/ INTRODUCTION
WORDCLOCK This BNC connector is used to synchronise the sampler to a studio’s
‘house sync’. This would be used in a predominantly digital studio to
ensure that all digital devices (mixer, hard disk recorder, effects, etc.)
are running at a common sampling frequency.
The terminator switch should be ON when the S6000 is the last digital
device in the wordclock chain. Otherwise, it should be OFF. Failure to
observe the correct switching of wordclock termination may result in
unpredictable results.
SCSI Two 50-pin high-pitch SCSI connectors are provided. One is simply a
‘thru’ of the other and is used when connecting the S6000 to a SCSI
chain.
SCSI TERMINATOR This should be switched ON when the S6000 is the last device in a SCSI
chain. If the S6000 sits somewhere in the middle of a SCSI chain, it
should be switched off. Failure to observe the correct switching of SCSI
termination may result in unpredictable results.
OPTION SLOTS These are provided to allow future expansion.
One such board is the optional ADAT digital I/O which offers 16 digital
outputs, ideal for interfacing with suitably equipped digital mixing
consoles. The ADAT I/O also allows you to record from a digital source
equipped with an ADAT output.
MIDI IN/OUT/THRU Two completely separate MIDI busses A and B are provided offering 32-
channel operation (1-16A and 1-16B).
Each MIDI THRU passes on the data received at their respective MIDI
inputs.
MAINS INPUT This should be connected to a suitable mains outlet using the supplied
cable.
SIGNAL GROUND This can be used to reduce ground loops by connecting it to a common
earthing point.
