Digital Mode

Layla3G and Gina3G have a digital mode switch that lets you set how the

hardware transmits and receives digital audio signals. The digital mode switch can

be set to S/PDIF RCA, S/PDIF optical, or ADAT optical. We’ll use Layla3G for

our examples below, but Gina3G works exactly the same.

The following is a table showing what the wave devices do for each digital mode:

Device

S/PDIF RCA

S/PDIF optical ADAT optical

Layla3G 1/2 Digital S/PDIF S/PDIF ADAT 1/2

Layla3G 3/4 Digital not used not used ADAT 3/4

Layla3G 5/6 Digital not used not used ADAT 5/6

Layla3G 7/8 Digital not used not used ADAT 7/8

In other words, if you want to play or record using S/PDIF, set the hardware to

either “S/PDIF RCA” or “S/PDIF optical” and configure your software to use

“Layla3G 1/2 Digital”. Since S/PDIF is stereo (two channels), digital channels 3 –

8 are not used.

If you want to play or record using ADAT optical, set the hardware to “ADAT

optical” mode and configure your software to use all of the digital channels.

Please refer to the Console section of the manual for more information on digital

modes.
