Digital Time Piece - erratic transport behavior
If you experience erratic transport behavior when
using Control Track sync from a Digital Timepiece,
be sure that the ADAT sync connection to the
PCI-424 is not plugged in. ADAT sync to the
PCI-424 is not required when using control track
sync and may interfere with DTP operation.
Yamaha 02R/03D - Yamaha TDIF card and the
2408mk3
You must have Yamaha’s version 2.0 TDIF card
which is identified by “CD8-TDII” indicator on the
outside of the card. Contact Yamaha’s service
department at [phone] if you do not have
this card. Set DIP switch #8 on the card to “DA-88
EXT.”
If you are connecting Tascam units like the DA-38/
88/98 via TDIF to the 2408mk3 along with a TDIF
connection from a Yamaha TDIF card, be sure to
put the Tascam unit into Bank A with the TDIF
card connection to bank B or C. If you are not
connecting a Tascam device, it doesn’t matter
which bank the TDIF card connection goes to.
PCI Audio Console is blank
The bottom half of the MOTU PCI Audio Console
will appear blank if the PCI-424 card is not
communicating with your audio interface. When
the interface is communicating with the PCI-424
card you should also see the Clock, Source, and
Bounce LEDs glowing, or just the Meter led
glowing solid, not blinking.
To establish communication set the clock source to
internal and hit refresh. Try restarting the
computer if refresh doesn't regain communication.
Make sure the Audio Wire is plugged in properly. If
you still can not regain communication, try one of
the other Audio Wire connections on the PCI-424
card and then hitting refresh. Try reseating the
PCI-424 card in the computer or even try another
PCI slot. If you still have trouble you should contact
MOTU Technical Support for further assistance.
Stand alone conversion with the 2408mk3
interface
With the computer off you can configure the
2408mk3 as a stand alone converter. Here is an
example for use with and ADAT device on Bank A.
Set the Source Row to ADAT GRP A Set the Clock
Row to SRC and it should lock to the sample rate of
the source. Set the Bounce Row to 1-2 >1 -2.
Now all inputs coming into Bank A will be routed
to all outputs on every Bank.
No inputs available in host application
Check to make sure you have the desired inputs
and/or outputs enabled in the MOTU PCI Audio
Console. The inputs will be check boxes, and
outputs will have pop-up menus. Selecting From
Computer will enable an output to be used by your
audio application.
Interface banks not visible in the PCI Audio
Console
This would indicate that there is a communication
problem between the PCI-424 card and the audio
interface. Check your Audio Wire connection to
make sure it is seated firmly at both ends. To
reestablish communication, open the PCI Audio
Console, set the clock source to PCI-424 internal,
and press the refresh button. If this fails, try
connecting the interface to one of the other Audio
Wire connections on the PCI-424 card and repeat
the above procedure for reestablishing communi-
cation.
PCI Audio Console - Can't locate the SPDIF input
SPDIF is only available on Bank C of the 2408mk3.
Configure Bank C for SPDIF in the MOTU PCI
Audio Console and make sure that the input is
enabled.
Monitoring - How to monitor inputs?
Please refer to the documentation for the audio
application that you are using. If your application
does not support input monitoring, you will need
