Chapter 3: Using Your System 43
To transfer audio from ADAT to Pro Tools:
1 Connect the DataSync and MIDI Inter-
face to your system as shown in Chapter 2.
On the ADAT:
2 Set the ADAT’s clock to Internal.
On the DataSync2:
3 Turn on the DataSync2 after you’ve
turned on the ADAT. This is necessary in
order for the DataSync2 to communicate
properly with the ADAT.
4 Set the desired frame rate on the
DataSync2 by pressing the mode button.
You must do this in order for the DataSync
to output SMPTE/MTC.
5 Enable MTC on the DataSync2 by press-
ing the MTC On button.

DataSync2 (Macintosh Only)
(If you are using Pro Tools on a Windows
computer, skip these steps.)
6 Configure the DataSync2 and your MIDI
interface as appropriate in OMS or Free-
MIDI.
• Create a device for the DataSync2.
• Enable Send and Receive MTC for the
DataSync2.
• Connect the DataSync2 to the appropri-
ate MIDI port.
7 Save the DataSync2/MIDI interface con-
figuration document as your current OMS
or FreeMIDI setup.
In Pro Tools:
8 In Pro Tools, choose Setups > Peripherals.
From the Synchronization Device pop-up,
choose Generic MTC Reader. From the Port
pop-up, choose the device that you defined
earlier in the OMS Studio Setup window (in
this case, the DataSync2). Alternatively, if
the name of the OMS device does not ap-
pear here, choose the serial port (modem or
printer) to which your MIDI interface is
connected.
9 In the Pro Tools Session Setup window
• Set Channel 1-2 input to ADAT.
• Set the Pro Tools Sync Mode to ADAT
Optical.
• Choose the sample rate that matches the
material on the ADAT(s).
• Choose the SMPTE frame rate that
matches the rate chosen on the
DataSync2.
10 In Pro Tools, create the number of des-
tination audio tracks you wish to transfer
from the ADAT(s). Make sure the destina-
tion tracks each have a different voice as-
signment in the Pro Tools session.
11 Use the Input Selector of each destina-
tion track to assign its input. Inputs 1-8
correspond to the ADAT Bridge I/O’s Group
A inputs. Inputs 9-16 correspond to ADAT
