General information
You can connect the OASYS PCI to an ADAT-compatible digital mixer in various ways, depending on your other equipment and your personal preference.
Mixer as word clock
master
The simplest way is to use the mixer as the word clock master. In this case:
1. Connect both the OASYS PCI's ADAT optical input and output to the mixer.
2. Make sure that the mixer is set to use its internal clock.
3. Set the OASYS PCI's word clock source to ADAT.
OASYS PCI as word clock
master
In some cases, you may wish to use the OASYS PCI as the master clock. In this case:
1. Connect the OASYS PCI's ADAT optical input and output to the mixer.
2. Set the OASYS PCI's word clock source to Internal.
3. Set the mixer to use the OASYS PCI's ADAT output as the master clock.
External word clock
generator as master
You may also wish to use a stand-alone word clock generator or SMPTE-to-digital audio converter as the master. In this case:
1. Connect the word clock generator's output to the word clock inputs of both the mixer and the OASYS PCI.
2. Set the word clock source of both devices to Word Clock.
Yamaha 02R
The OASYS PCI and the Yamaha 02R digital mixer can be connected in many different ways, depending on the rest of your studio setup. Either the OASYS PCI or the 02R can be the word clock master, each using either the ADAT optical cables or a dedicated word clock cable.
Whatever configuration you decide upon, you'll need to set all the word clocks accordingly. One possible setup is to sync the 02R to the OASYS PCI, using the OASYS PCI's ADAT output. In this case:
1. Connect the OASYS PCI's optical input and output to an ADAT I/O card on the 02R.
2. On the 02R, Press the Digital I/O button.
3. Go to the Word Clock Select page.
This page shows a list of all the installed I/O cards, and allows you to select a pair of channels from any card as the master clock source. You can also select the dedicated word clock input, or the internal clock.
4. Set the 02R to use the ADAT 1/2 channels from the card connected to the OASYS PCI.
5. In the digital audio program, set the OASYS PCI's word clock source to Internal.
