Selecting channels For each input channel pair one input type can be selected. Example 1 In the example below the following is selected: Input channel pair 1/2: T os Input channel pair 3/4: SPDIF Input channel pair 5/6: AES/EBU Input channel pair 7/8: AES/EBU aes/spdif/tos in SRC SPDIF TOS FRONT aes/spdif clock master L 1 3 5 7 FORMAT CONVERTER | P[...]

SRC Digital Konnekt x32 has 4 sample rate converters and thus features individual sample rate conversion on any input channel pair in this section OR on all ADA T channels. When activating sample rate conversion SRC in the ADA T section, any selected sample rate conversion in the AES/SPDIF/TOS section is deselected. AES+SPDIF+T OS Routing This is t[...]

OPERA TION 8 AD A T Routing The four ADA T channel pairs can be routed to any pair of AES+SPDIF+TOS channels and to the eight ADA T channels simultaneously as well. Example 2 In the example below the following is selected: Normal sample rate ADA T ch. 1-2 is sent to AES+SPDIF+TOS ch. 1-2 ADA T ch. 3-4 is sent to AES+SPDIF+TOS ch. 3-4 ADA T ch. 5-6 [...]

OPERA TION 9 Example 3 A typical setting for this section would be: • Routing firewire channels 1-8 to AES+SPDIF+TOS 1-8 • Routing firewire channels 9-16 to ADA T .

14 INTEGRA T OR The Integrator plug-in for DigitalKonnekt32 makes integration of external hardware into your DA W environment seamless. It offers a “plug-in” audio routing represent ation of your external digital ef fects processors and operates as a normal VST/AU plug-in. The Integrator plug-in can be inserted on any track, utilizing external [...]

15 The Integrator plug-in is automatically installed when the TC Near control panel is inst alled. P arameters Lock Green - indicates correct lock between the selected external digital device and Digit al Konnekt x32. Red - indicates “no lock”. Check connections and settings.

The Integrator Now that Digital Konnekt x32 is set up it is time to set up your DA W application utilizing the Integrator plug-in. For each external effect, one inst ance of the Integrator plug-in must be set up. Each of the Integrator instances then represents one external ef fect. This example illustrates how Integrator is inserted in Cubase LE w[...]

Integrator always acts as a stereo plug-in, - also when inserted on a mono-track. C400XL • Insert the Integrator on a stereo track on a stereo bus. • Select firewire channel 7/8 by selecting “fw ch 7” Finalizer 96K • The Finalizer will typically be used for mastering.
