Page 3: Audio Connections
Audio connections should be made as shown in the diagram below. ADAT optical cables must be connected from the ADAT Out port of the WaveCenter/PCI card to the ADAT In port of the 328XD, and vice versa. 75Ω Coaxial digital S/PDIF cables must also be connected from the WaveCenter/PCI S/PDIF output to the 328XD S/PDIF input and vice versa. - Page 4 In this case, the 328XD will be set to wordclock master, and the WaveCenter/PCI will be set to slave to the 328XD, via the WaveCenter/PCI’s S/PDIF input. Any other devices interfacing digitally with the 328XD within the studio setup will also be configured to slave to the 328XD’s wordclock.
- Page 5 Check your sequencer manual for more information. S/PDIF Input The 328XD S/PDIF input can be routed to any one of the following inputs: Stereo Input 1, Stereo Input 2, FX-1, FX-2, 2-Track Tape Return provided that the AES/EBU input or oscillator has not already been assigned to that input.
- Page 6 NOTE: If the S/PDIF output is not required, NOWHERE should be selected in the menu. In this case, wordclock will still be transmitted through the S/PDIF output of the 328XD, even though no audio signal is transmitted. The wordlength of the S/PDIF output must now be set. Press the down cursor to access the S/PDIF output wordlength setting.
- Page 7 WAVECENTER/PCI CONFIGURATION Wordclock and S/PDIF Input The WaveCenter/PCI must be set up to receive the wordclock transmitted by the 328XD (via the 328XD’s S/PDIF output). Open the WaveCenter/PCI Control Panel, accessed by double clicking the WaveCenter/PCI icon on the Windows taskbar: Click on the ‘Clock/Device Status’...
- Page 8 ‘S 1:2’ input set to ‘Coax’, the WaveCenter/PCI recevies the S/PDIF stream from the 328XD, enabling the WaveCenter/PCI to slave to the 328XD via S/PDIF, and also allows the 328XD to send S/PDIF stereo data back to the WaveCenter/PCI.
- Page 9 WaveCenter/PCI. If this is the case, check the S/PDIF cable is correctly connected from the S/PDIF output of the 328XD to the S/PDIF input of the WaveCenter/PCI. If the indicators are still showing errors, check also that all the correct 328XD and WaveCenter/PCI settings have been made, as described so far in this...
- Page 10 S/PDIF Output The stereo output from the WaveCenter/PCI can be set to either AES/EBU or S/PDIF format. In this configuration, this should be set to S/PDIF, so that the 328XD correctly interprets the stereo data incoming to the 328XD’s S/PDIF input.
- Page 11 If you are using the WaveCenter/PCI as an ASIO device it is important that the wordlength set here is the same as the 328XD S/PDIF output wordlength and also the same as the 328XD Tape Port wordlength. The PC software supporting the ASIO devices (e.g. Cubase VST) must also be set to work at this resolution –...
- Page 12 MIDI (System Exclusive) data dumps from the 328XD to be saved onto the PC, which can be restored into the 328XD at any time. This enables the PC to be used as a MIDI librarian where all the data stored in the 328XD (Snapshots, Presets etc.) can be backed up to a small system exclusive file on the PC.
- Page 13 17-24 respectively in 328XD BANK SELECT 17-32. To record a signal onto a track within the software application, send the required channels to 1-16. See the 328XD User Guide for full instructions on how to send a channel to a digital output channel. NOTE: Ensure that the relevant device drivers are fully installed for the software application to correctly access the WaveCenter/PCI ADAT I/O.
