02R with ADAT & JL Cooper Datasync-2
This application shows how the 02R can be used with a JL Cooper Datasync-2 Synchronizer
to create a 24-input, 8-track digital recording system. The JL Cooper Datasync-2
Synchronizer is a cost-effective device for setting up a synchronized 02R and ADAT system.
The eight digital tape returns and 24 Mic/Line inputs provide up to 32 inputs at mixdown.
In addition, the 02R’s built-in automation and scene memory systems provide both
dynamic and static mix automation referenced to MIDI timecode.
Connections
• The ADAT (CD8-AT) card must be screwed securely in place. Do not leave the screws out
after installation as the card will not be grounded correctly.
• The Digital In/Out connectors on the 02R and ADAT are connected together using
Optical Cables. Press the DIGITAL IN button on the ADAT to use the DIGITAL IN.
• The ADAT’s eight tracks connect to 02R slot [1], tape inputs one through eight.
• The JL Cooper Datasync-2 Synchronizer converts the ADAT’s internal timecode to MIDI
timecode or SMPTE timecode.
• A 9-pin Sync cable for connecting the ADAT and Datasync-2 is available from Alesis.
02R Wordclock Setup
The ADAT (CD8-AT) card is installed in Slot [1], so any pair of the first eight tape inputs
can be selected as the wordclock source on the DIGITAL I/O menu.
ADAT Wordclock Setup
The ADAT should be set as wordclock master. To confirm this, press the SET LOCATE and
DIGITAL IN buttons together. The display should show “int”, meaning internal wordclock.
The ADAT sampling rate can be set to either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz. Use Fixed mode for
48 kHz and Variable mode for 44.1 kHz (using the PITCH DOWN button, set to –147 cents.
At which point “–146, 44.1, –148” appears on the display). The newer ADAT-XT has
dedicated switches for selecting these two sampling rates.
In Figure 2 the ADAT is shown as wordclock master. However, it could alternatively be used
as wordclock slave with the 02R as master. In this case, the ADAT would be set to “digi”. This
can be confirmed by pressing the DIGITAL IN and SET LOCATE buttons together. The
internal clock can then be set on the 02R.
Notes
• Press the DIGITAL IN button on the ADAT to use the DIGITAL INPUT.
