Connections with other R-BUS devices
Connections with R-BUS devices
In order to transfer digital audio signals between R-BUS
devices, the sampling frequency of the devices must match,
and they must share the same word clock.In order for the
word clock to be shared, one device in the system must be
the word clock master. Other devices must be set to share
that clock (i.e., they must be slaves).The RPC-1 can function
either as the word clock master or slave.
If two or more word clock master devices exist in the system,
the word clock will not be shared correctly. In such cases, the
digital audio signals will not be transferred accurately, and
noise will occur. Be sure that only one device is the word
clock master.
Connections with the VM-3100Pro
Updating the system program (Ver. 1.052)
In order for the VM-3100Pro to be connected and used with
the RPC-1, system program version 1.052 or later is
required. If your VM-3100Pro is version 1.04 or earlier, you
must update the system program.
How to check the software version
When the power is turned on, the lower line of the opening
screen will show the version number as (for example) "Ver.
1.04."
How to update
The directory "UPDATE > VM-3100" in the included
"Drivers/Update" CD-ROM contains the data for the update.
Perform the update procedure as directed in the
"readme.doc" file.
Example settings
RPC-1 settings (in the Control Panel)
• Master Clock: Int. Clock
• Int. Clock Sample Rate: 44.1 kHz
The VM-3100Pro operates at a sampling frequency of 44.1
kHz.
VM-3100Pro settings
Use Quick Setup to make VM-3100Pro settings. (For details
refer to "VM-3100Pro Quick Setup" in this chapter.)
You can use the VM-3100Pro's inputs 1-8 as inputs of the
RPC-1. The outputs of the RPC-1 will be sent to inputs 13-20
of the VM-3100Pro. You can use the MIDI faders, transport,
and value dial of the VM-3100Pro to remotely control your
sequencer software, and perform automix on the
VM-3100Pro. For details refer to the following pages of the
VM-3100 user's manual: p. 43 "Controlling a MIDI
sequencer," p. 56 "MIDI," and p. 46 "Using a personal
computer for auto-fader functionality." Also refer to the
manual of the sequencer software that you are using. You
can also use the VM-3100Pro as MIDI interface for your
computer.
The routing can be changed. For details refer to VM-3100
user's manual p. 51 "Easy routing."
In order to use the VM-3100Pro's Digital In, set the master
clock of the VM-3100Pro to DinA or DinB, and set the master
clock of the RPC-1 to Ext. Clock.
In order for the VM-3100Pro to control sequencer software,
that sequencer software must support MIDI control of
transport, locate, and fader control. For details refer to the
manual of the sequencer software you are using.
