328XD CONFIGURATION
Wordclock
In a configuration using 2 RD-8s, the Master RD-8 must be made to be the wordclock master device. To
set the 328XD to slave to this clock, enter the 328XD Menu pages by pressing the <MENU> button on
the right hand side of the LCD display. Using the PARAM encoder beneath the display, scroll up or down
until the 'Clock Source Sel' menu is highlighted, and press <ENTER>. Here, the clock source must be
set to the external BNC source. Use the encoder to set the clock source, press <ENTER> to set the
sample rate and <MENU> to return to the menu pages.
Tape Ports
To ensure that the 328XD Tape Ports are set to ADAT, enter the 328XD Menu pages by pressing the
<MENU> button on the right hand side of the LCD display. Using the PARAM encoder beneath the
display, scroll up or down until the 'Tape Port Select' menu is highlighted. Press <ENTER> and press the
Up cursor arrow until the '<Tape Ch17-24 >' menu page is displayed. Using the PARAM encoder, set
the Bank Source to ADAT.
Press the Down cursor key to set the wordlength. The RD-8 is a 16-bit device, and so a wordlength of
16-bit should be selected here. The wordlength is set on the 328XD with the PARAM encoder. Press
<MENU> to return to the menu pages.
MIDI
To configure the 328XD to send the MMC controls to the RD-8s and vice versa, RD-8 must be selected in
the Tape Machine Setup menu. Enter the Menu pages by pressing the <MENU> button, and scroll up or
down with the PARAM encoder until the 'Tape Mach Setup' menu is highlighted. Press <ENTER>, scroll
until Fostex RD-8 is highlighted and press <ENTER> again.
