S/PDIF Output
On the 328, the stereo S/PDIF output can be sourced from any of the following busses:
Mix L/R, Aux 1/2, Aux 3/4, FX1/2
This will usually be set to 'Mix', to allow a stereo mixdown to be recorded directly into the Dakota
on the playback of a composition.
As the Dakota is a full duplex device, it is possible to playback a composition consisting of all 8
ADAT tracks + 1 Stereo S/PDIF track from the Dakota, recording the mixed signal from the 328
back into the Dakota S/PDIF input as a stereo mixdown.
Press <MENU> to enter the menu pages, scroll through the pages until the 'SPDIF O/P Setup' is
highlighted and press <ENTER>. Using the rotary encoder, select the source for the S/PDIF
output

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 328, even though no audio signal is being
transmitted.
If using the Dakota as an ASIO device, it is important here that the
wordlength set here is the same as the 328 Tape Port wordlength (See
'Tape Port' section earlier in this chapter).
