up in the same state. AutoSave Status tells you the

current state of this process: Change Detected,

Saving… or Saved. If it says Saved, it is ready to be

powered down. If it says Change Detected or

Saving…, wait until it changes to Saved.

Interface mode

Turn VALUE to choose between FireWire or USB

operation. Normally, the 896mk3 detects how it is

connected to the host computer, but this setting

lets you manually specify which bus to use.

Factory Defaults

Push VALUE to restore the 896mk3 hardware to its

factory default settings. Push VALUE again to

conﬁrm, or turn PARAM to cancel.

AUDIO MENU

To access the AUDIO menu, push the PARAM

knob until you see AU D I O displayed in the LCD.

This menu provides basic settings such as sample

rate, clock source, optical bank format (ADAT

versus TOSLINK), and so on. These settings have

corresponding settings in the MOTU Audio Setup

software, as shown below:

* If the 896mk3 is currently connected to a computer, this setting

cannot be changed from the front-panel LCD. It must be changed in

MOTU Audio Setup instead. Or, you can disconnect the 896mk3 from

the computer to change the Clock Source from the front panel.

ADAT SMUX Type

When the 896mk3 is operating at either 88.2 or

96 kHz, the AUDIO menu includes an item called

ADAT SMUX Type.

This setting lets you conﬁgure the optical ports for

ADAT format operation at the 2x sample rates only

(88.2 or 96 kHz).

There are two choices:

■ Type I — for 2x optical connection to 3rd-party

SMUX-compatible hardware products

■ Type II — for 2x optical connection to MOTU

products that are equipped with optical ports and

support 2x operation

Turn the VALUE knob to select an optical port and

push the knob to toggle between the Type I and

Type II setting.

CUEMIX MENU

To access the CUEMIX menu, push the PARAM

knob until you see CUEMIX displayed in the LCD.

This menu displays the settings for the 896mk3

CueMix FX mixer.

CueMix mixer basics

It is much easier to navigate the CUEMIX menu in

the LCD if you have a general understanding of the

CueMix FX mixer. We strongly recommend that

you review chapter 9, “CueMix FX” (page 73)

before learning the LCD, especially “CueMix FX

basic operation” on page 75.

CUEMIX menu organization

Mixer settings are divided into four sub-menus,

which correspond to the Inputs, Mixes, Outputs

and Reverb tabs in the CueMix FX software:

■ IN (inputs)
