Korg 1212 I/O 37
English
several tracks have been selected on ADAT #2, making it into a transmitter.
Notice how this blocks the output of the 1212 I/O.
To avoid this situation, you need to clear the BRC’s digital I/O settings. To
do this:
1. Press the BRC’s EDIT button.
2. Press the BRC’s DIGITAL I/O button until you see the “Select
source with track buttons” page.
3. Make sure that no tracks are selected. If necessary, de-select any
currently selected tracks.
Even if no tracks are selected, it is possible that one of the machines is still
designated as a digital I/O transmitter–so continue on to the next step.
4. Press EDIT again to exit edit mode.
5. Press the DIGITAL I/O button twice, to toggle it off and then on
again.
This ensures that the digital I/O settings have been reset, so that all of the
ADATs are acting as digital audio receivers.
Digital I/O transmitters block incoming optical data
Using the 1212 I/O with multiple ADATs, without the BRC
When using two or more ADATs without the BRC, the 1212 I/O can only
share digital audio data with ADATs to which it is directly connected. This
is because, without the BRC, the ADATs do not pass data from their optical
input to their optical output. Instead, each ADAT’s optical output carries
only the audio tracks from its own tape. In this way, each ADAT receives
only the output of the previous machine in the loop.
