03D with ADAT & JL Cooper Datasync-2
This application shows how the 03D can be used with an Alesis ADAT and JL Cooper
Datasync-2 MIDI Synchronizer to create an 18-input, 8-track digital recording system. The
eight digital tape returns and 18 Mic/Line inputs provide up to 26 inputs at mixdown. In
addition, the 03D’s built-in automix and scene memories provide both dynamic and static
mix automation referenced to timecode.
The JL Cooper Datasync-2 MIDI Synchronizer converts ADAT sync signals to MTC and
SMPTE timecode. In this particular system, the 03D automix is referenced to MTC.
Connections
• The ADAT (CD8-AT) card must be screwed securely in place. Do not leave the screws out
after installation as the cards will not be grounded correctly.
• The Digital In/Out connectors on the 03D and ADAT are connected together using
Optical Cables. Press the DIGITAL IN button on the ADAT to use the DIGITAL IN.
• YGDAI digital outputs can be configured as bus outs, aux sends, input channel direct
outs, or stereo outs. So although the 03D is a four-bus mixer, assigning the four buses
and four aux sends, or the channel direct outs, to the YGDAI outputs allows eight-track
simultaneous recording. YGDAI output assignments are made on the D.out Setup page,
which can be located using the [DIO] button.
• YGDAI digital inputs feed 03D input channels 17 through 24.
• 9-pin Sync cables for connecting the ADAT and Datasync-2 are available from Alesis.
03D Wordclock Setup
In this system, the 03D works as a wordclock slave. Any pair of YGDAI digital inputs can be
selected as the wordclock source. Use the [DIO] button to locate the D.in Setup page for
wordclock settings.
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.
Alternatively, the ADAT could be used as a wordclock slave with the 03D 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. Use the [DIO] button to locate the D.in Setup page on
the 03D and set the internal wordclock to either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
Notes
• Press the DIGITAL IN button on the ADAT to use the DIGITAL INPUT.
