Kurzweil Music Systems KSP8 Installation Guide

KSP8 I/O Option

Installation and Usage Guide

This document explains how to install an I/O Option Board into a Kurzweil KSP8. The following I/O Option boards are available for the KSP8:

•

Analog I/O Option Board

•

ADAT–TDIF I/O Option Board

•

AES I/O Option Board

•

mLAN (Firewire) I/O Option Board

These options are user-installable; no special expertise or special tools are required. Furthermore, the installation procedure is the same for all the option boards. Usage instructions for the individual options are provided at the end of this document.

IMPORTANT: The I/O option boards are not hot-swappable. You must turn off the KSP8 before you add or remove an I/O option board.

Before Beginning the Installation

You should back up any objects (presets, chains, or studios) that you have created. You can either save the objects to a SmartMedia card or dump the objects via MIDI using a SysEx dump. Refer to Chapter 10 of the KSP8 User’s

Guide for information on these procedures.

Tools Required For Installation

•

#2 Phillips screwdriver

You will need access to the back panel of the KSP8.

Installation

1. Turn the unit off, then unplug all cables from the KSP8.

2. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws attaching the option slot cover plate to the back panel of the KSP8. Set the screws aside so that you can use them to attach the option board. The option slot cover plate is shown in Figure 1.

4. Slide the board all the way into the KSP8, making sure that it becomes securely seated in the connector at the back of the opening.

5. Attach the board to the KSP8 using the screws that originally held the option slot cover plate in place. Figure 2 shows the location for these screws.

6. To conﬁrm that the installation has been successful, turn the KSP8 on, then refer to the option’s usage section below.

Using the KSP8 Analog I/O Option (KANA4)

The Analog I/O Option adds four inputs and four outputs to your KSP8. The connectors are the same balanced 1/4" phone jacks that are used for the analog I/O on the stock KSP8, and their function is exactly the same. The only difference you will see will be on the Conﬁg INSEL and INLVL pages:

•

The INSEL page will offer parameters Analog1 – Analog8 for each input.

•

The INLVL page will feature a second column for Inputs 5 – 8.

To conﬁrm that the installation of the Analog I/O Option has been successful:

1. Press the conﬁg button.

2. Press the INLVL soft button. Two columns of inputs should be displayed, as shown below.

If only inputs 1 through 4 are displayed, the KSP8 is not recognizing the option. In this case, you should conﬁrm that the board is seated properly: turn off the KSP8, remove the board, then reinsert it, making sure that it slides into both plastic rails and becomes seated in the connector at the back of the opening.

Using the KSP8 ADAT–TDIF I/O Option (KADT8)

The ADAT–TDIF I/O Option adds the following to your KSP8:

•

eight digital inputs and outputs for the ADAT Optical Interface.

•

eight digital inputs and outputs for devices that use the TDIF format.

Once you’ve installed the option as described in the ﬁrst part of this document, check to make sure that your KSP8’s software is revision 1.5 or higher. The most current KSP8 software is provided on a SmartMedia card included with this option. You can update your software (if necessary) with the KSP8 Boot Loader, as described in the KSP8 User’s Guide .

To conﬁrm that the installation of the ADAT–TDIF I/O Option has been successful:

1. Press the conﬁg button.

2. Press the INSEL soft button. Turn the alpha wheel to display the available input selections for the selected input. Among these should be the ADAT and TDIF inputs.

If the ADAT–TDIF inputs do not appear when you scroll through the input selections, the KSP8 is not recognizing the option. In this case, you should conﬁrm that the board is seated properly: turn off the KSP8, remove the board, then reinsert it, making sure that it slides into both plastic rails and becomes seated in the connector at the back of the opening.

You will now be able to interface with both ADAT and TDIF type devices. You can even set some of your inputs (INSEL page) to hook up to an ADAT-type device while you set others for TDIF. The only limitation is that inputs of one type cannot overlap those of the other type; for example, if you’ve selected ADAT 1 for an input then TDIF 1 will be unavailable (although TDIF 2–8 may still be available for your use). All 16 outputs, however, are always live.

While the INSEL page offers parameters ADAT 1–ADAT 8 and TDIF 1–TDIF 8 when an ADAT–TDIF option is detected, nothing changes on the INLVL page, since that page is only concerned with analog inputs.

Studio Conﬁguration Files

For your convenience, two conﬁguration ﬁles, ADA T nn .KSP and TDIF nn .KSP are provided on the included SmartMedia card. Each ﬁle contains a subset of the base KSP8 studios with the appropriate input selections made, as well as a Master table that sets the Clock Source parameter as necessary. To load these ﬁles, ﬁrst insert the SmartMedia card (gold side down) into the KSP8, then press the MASTER soft button, followed by CARD , then Load . You will now be able to select and load the conﬁguration ﬁle that you would like. (Note that while the KSP8 will prompt you to save these objects into the 800s bank, you can place them into any bank of your choosing. See the KSP8 User’s Guide for more information on loading and arranging objects.)

The ﬁles contain the following objects:

800 4SterIn>4SterFX 801 4MonoIn>4SterFX 802 8MonoIn>8MonoFX 803 Morph This 804 6 MonoIn>5.1 FX+ 805 8 MonoIn>5.1 FX

Master Page Conﬁguration Parameters

Using the KSP8 ADAT–TDIF I/O Option (KADT8)

Some ADAT or TDIF conﬁgurations require that you set some of the parameters on the KSP8 Master page. Mostly these have to do with clock selection and TDIF types. Refer to Chapter 10 of the KSP8 User’s Guide for information on the KSP8 Master page.

The connection diagrams that follow this section will help to clarify some of this information.

ClockSource

You will have to set the ClockSource parameter to indicate which device is the master. The choices are:

•

44.1 KHz Internal

•

48 KHz Internal

•

AES/EBU

•

ADAT

•

TDIF

•

Word Clock

TDIF T ype

TDIF connection only. You will only need to set the TDIF Type parameter for TDIF conﬁgurations when Clock

Source is Word Clock. Choose “DA-88” for connection to a TASCAM DA-88. Choose “Other” for all other products (including TASCAM

products other than the DA-88).

TDIF Len

TDIF connection only. Indicate the word length for your TDIF input data. This should match the word length used

by the sending TDIF device. (The word length for KSP8 output is set with the DigWordLen option, also on the Master page.)
