Digi 001 Quick Start Guide

42

To connect an external device to your system:

1

Connect an unused output (or outputs if stereo) on the Digi 001 I/O Box to an input (or
inputs if stereo) of the external signal processor.

2

Connect the output (or outputs if stereo) of the external signal processor to an unused

input (or pair of inputs if stereo) on the Digi 001 I/O Box.

To set up a send to an external device (digital sends/returns only):

1

Choose Setups > Playback Engine and click Other Options.

2

Do one of the following:

• If the external device is connected to the S/PDIF RCA jacks, deselect S/PDIF Mirroring.

(When S/PDIF Mirroring is on, digital output at the S/PDIF RCA jacks exactly mirrors the
output of analog Channels 1–2.) If you disable S/PDIF Mirroring, you must reset I/O
labels to reflect this change. See “Resetting Hardware I/O Labels” on page 42.

• If the external device is connected to the Optical ports, choose a format (most likely

S/PDIF for an effects device) from the Optical Format pop-up menu.

3

Choose Internal from the Sync Mode pop-up menu (in most cases).

4

Click OK.

You can also label the inputs and outputs you are using in Pro Tools LE to quickly identify
them as inserts or sends when working in a session.

To label hardware I/O Inserts or Sends:

1

Choose Setups > I/O Labels.

2

Under Display, click Inputs (for hardware inserts), or Outputs (for hardware sends) and

name the connections carrying signal to or from the external device (for example,

ReverbSend.L

and

ReverbSend.R

or

Reverb Return.L

and

Reverb Return.R

).

3

When you have finished, click OK.

Resetting Hardware I/O Labels

If you make a change to the number or type of inputs and outputs you are using (for
example, if you turn S/PDIF Mirroring on or off, or you switch the Optical input format
from ADAT to S/PDIF), you may want to update the I/O labels. This helps you keep track of
which inputs and outputs are available, and what they are named.

To reset hardware I/O labels:

1

Choose Setups > I/O Labels.

2

Select Inputs, and click Factory Reset.

3

Select Outputs, and click Factory Reset.

4

Click OK when you are done.
