Digital Output Format

Change this parameter to set the K2661's digital output stream to your preferred format. The
default is ADAT 8-channel digital. Other values are AES Pro, also known as AES/EBU, and AES
Cons, also known as S/PDIF. This global parameter is remembered across power cycles, and is
not part of any setup or KDFX studio.
To use ADAT In, the K2661's ADAT Out cable must be connected to the sending device. K2661
must be the "master," and the other device(s) must "slave" to it. Output sample rate (and
therefore input as well) is fixed at 48 kHz.

Digital Output Length

Change this parameter to set the digital word length of the K2661's digital output stream. The
default is 24 Bit, which is preferred for most applications. Reducing the bit length will reduce the
dynamic range of your sound and may increase audible noise. However, some older digital
equipment may not be able to work with 24 bit data, and you may have more satisfactory results
by reducing the word length at the K2661 output stage. This global parameter is remembered
across power cycles, and is not part of any setup or KDFX studio.
If you are resampling digitally, you should be sure to set Digital Output Length to 16 bits. This is
because the sampler is only 16 bits, and you want to make sure that the signal is properly
dithered before resampling.
When you change the digital word length with this parameter, the signal going to the analog
outs is affected, too. For this reason, if you are only using the analog outputs you should keep
Digital Output Length set to 24 Bit (the default).

The Soft Buttons in Master Mode

Object

This soft button brings up the object utilities. They're described beginning on page 11-15.

Delete

This soft button brings up the delete bank dialog, enabling you to erase sets of objects, either
entire banks or all objects, from RAM. If the Confirm parameter on the Master-mode page is set
to a value of On, you'll be given an extra chance to cancel before the set of objects is actually
deleted. Once the deletion is complete, the objects are irretrievable, so you may want to save
objects to disk before deleting them from RAM.
To delete individual objects, use the functions that are available when you press the Object soft
button.
