Korg 1212 I/O 53

English

Make sure that all word clock settings are correct for all connected

hardware and software, including ADAT-compatible multitracks, digital

mixers, S/PDIF devices, and digital audio software.

In Deck, is Trigger Sync turned on (in the Options menu)? Deck requires

that Trigger Sync be enabled when working with ADAT timecode.

In the MacOS, Is AppleTalk turned off? AppleTalk should be turned off

whenever using timing-critical music applications.

Digital audio program does not sync at all

Make sure that the 1212 I/O is selected as the timecode source. In Deck,

this is set by the Time Code Source sub-menu in the Options menu.

Is the ADAT sync/Word Clock breakout cable securely connected to the

1212 I/O? Try re-seating the cable in the jack.

Is the ADAT’s sync output securely connected to the 1212 I/O’s ADAT

Timecode Conditioner (ATC), and is the ATC securely connected to the

breakout cable?

If the digital audio program’s word clock source is set to ADAT, is the

ADAT’s optical output connected to the 1212 I/O’s optical input? The

optical cable must be connected in order for the 1212 I/O to use its word

clock.

If you are using an original ADAT without a BRC, is the digital audio

program’s word clock set to ADAT? Original ADATs must be the word

clock master when using ADAT timecode. In Deck, word clock source is set

by the Sync Mode parameter, in the Options menu Hardware

Conﬁguration dialog.

Is the ADAT’s pitch-shifting feature being used? When the sample rate is

set to 48kHz (the only setting for the original ADAT), keep the ADAT’s

pitch setting between -300 cents and +13 cents. When the sample rate is set

to 44.1kHz, keep the pitch setting between -170 cents and +160 cents.

If you are using the Word Clock input as the word clock source, is the

frequency of the master device between 40kHz and 48.4kHz? The 1212 I/O

requires that the sample rate be within this range.
