Chapter 10 Combining Recorders

Remotely Controlling a Recorder

This system can be connected to digital multitrack recorders made by TEAC
(TASCAM DA-98/88/38) and Alesis (ADAT series) via the R-BUS connector. When
this connection is complete, you can control the recorders remotely using the
Transport Area or the system's status button. A single processor allows up to three
recorders to be connected, as shown below.
