Korg 1212 I/O 15

English

1. Connect the 1212 I/O’s optical cables to the 168RC’s Dig A ports.

2. On the 168RC, press the MISC button, and scroll down until you

reach the CLK Source parameter. Set this to DIG-IN-A (the

1212 I/O).

This selects the 1212 I/O as the word clock source for the 168RC.

3. In the digital audio program, set the 1212 I/O’s word clock source to

Internal.

Korg 168RC and ADAT

This setup combines the 1212 I/O and an ADAT with the Korg SoundLink

DRS 168RC digital mixer. The ADAT provides the word clock source; the

168RC slaves to the ADAT, and the 1212 I/O slaves to the 168RC.

1. Connect the ADAT’s optical cables to the 168RC’s Dig A ports, and

the 1212 I/O’s optical cables to the 168RC’s Dig B ports.

2. On the 168RC, press the MISC button, and scroll down until you

reach the CLK Source parameter. Set this to DIG-IN-A (the ADAT).

This selects the ADAT as the word clock source for the 168RC.

3. Connect the ADAT Timecode Conditioner to the 1212 I/O’s ADAT

sync input.

4. Connect the sync output from the ADAT to the 1212 I/O’s ADAT

Timecode Conditioner.

5. In the digital audio program, set the 1212 I/O’s word clock source to

ADAT.

6. Set the ADAT’s word clock source to Internal.

For more information, see “Setting the word clock source on an ADAT

system,” on page 19.

7. If using an Alesis BRC, connect the BRC’s sync output to the

ADAT’s sync input, and then connect the Word Clock output of the

1212 I/O to the 48kHz Input of the BRC.

This connection is necessary when recording from the 1212 I/O’s S/PDIF

input.

Yamaha 02R

The 1212 I/O and the Yamaha 02R digital mixer can be connected in many

different ways, depending on the rest of your studio setup. Either the

1212 I/O or the 02R can be the word clock master, each using either the

ADAT optical cables or a dedicated word clock cable.

Whatever conﬁguration you decide upon, you’ll need to set all the word

clocks accordingly. One possible setup is to sync the 02R to the 1212 I/O,

using the 1212 I/O’s ADAT output. In this case:
