INSTALLING THE 896HD HARDWARE
24
SAMPLE-ACCURATE ADAT SYNC
The 896HD can achieve sample-accurate sync with
ADATs, Alesis hard disk recorders or any ADAT
Sync-compatible devices. Sample-accurate
software is required, such as Cubase SX or other
ASIO 2.0-compatible software that also supports
sample-accurate sync. Connect the 896HD to the
end of the ADAT Sync chain and make the software
settings shown below in Figure 4-10. If you will be
using the stand-alone recorder for its analog inputs
and outputs only (you won’t be doing any
recording with it), treat it as an ‘optical’ device. See
“Syncing optical devices” on page 27.
To set the 896HD hardware clock source for sample-
accurate sync:
1. Run the MOTU FireWire Audio Console.
2. Choose ADAT 9-pin from the Clock Source menu
as shown above.
3. Make sure the Sample Rate setting matches the
recorder and synchronizer.

2. Choose the ASIO Positioning Protocol option shown below.
3. Choose the MIDI Machine Control option shown below.
4. Make sure that Sync Online is checked in the Transport menu.
5. Click the play or record button. Cubase will then start playing or record-
ing, and the recorder will begin to roll, too, after being triggered by the
MIDI Timepiece AV (or other synchronizer).

Use this setup if you have:
✓
ADATs, Alesis hard disk recorders or any ADAT SYNC
compatible device(s).
✓A MOTU Digital Timepiece, MIDI Timepiece AV or other
ADAT synchronizer.
✓Host software that supports sample-accurate sync.
This setup provides:
✓
Sample-accurate locating between all ADAT SYNC-compati-
ble devices, the 896HD and your software (Cubase or other
sample-accurate software).
✓With a Digital Timepiece, this setup provides sample-accurate
locating across all devices: ADAT, Tascam and the 896HD.
✓Transport control of everything from the computer, OR
continuous sync to SMPTE time code and other sync sources
(the other source is the transport master in this case).
