CONNECTING THE SYSTEM
Audio Connections
Audio connections should be made as shown in the diagram below. ADAT optical cables must be
connected both from ADAT Out port of the Lagoon card to the 328XD ADAT In 17-24 and vice versa.
The optical plugs should remain in the 328XD ADAT port 25-32 input and output.
In this configuration, the ADAT connections allow digital transfer of either direct outputs from the 328XD’s
input channels 1-8 to the Lagoon card, or the 328XD’s 8 Group outputs.
Other Connections
You may also wish to connect the 328XD to the Lagoon card with MIDI cables to allow MIDI automation /
System Exclusive dumps from the 328XD to be recorded and played back from your PC.
If you wish to connect the 328XD MIDI I/O to the Lagoon, the following connections must be made:

328XD CONFIGURATION
The Lagoon card and the 328XD (plus any other devices in the studio setup) must have their internal
clocks synchronized to allow correct transmission and reception of digital information throughout the
system. This is achieved by configuring one of the devices as a wordclock master, and configuring all
other devices in the studio setup to slave to this wordclock, hence synchronizing all clocks in the studio
setup.
In this case, the 328XD will be set to wordclock master, and the Lagoon will be set to slave to the
328XD, via the Lagoon ADAT input – see
with the 328XD within the studio setup will also be configured to slave to the 328XD’s wordclock.
Lagoon Configuration
. Any other devices interfacing digitally
NOTE:
To configure the 328XD as the wordclock master, enter the 328’s Main Menu page by pressing the
<MENU> button to the right hand side of the LCD display. Using the PARAM encoder beneath the
display, scroll up or down until the ‘Clock Source Sel’ menu is highlighted, and press <ENTER>. Here,
either ‘Internal: 44.1kHz’ or ‘Internal: 48kHz’ clock must be selected for the 328XD to function as
wordclock master. With the PARAM encoder set this to the sample rate you wish to work at, press
<ENTER> to confirm the sample rate setting and <MENU> to return to the menu pages.
Wordclock information is embedded into the 328XD ADAT output data stream, allowing the
Lagoon to slave to the 328XD’s ADAT output
Tape Port Setup
To ensure that the 328XD Tape Port 17-24 is configured to ‘ADAT’ to work with the Lagoon, enter the
328XD Menu pages by pressing the <MENU> button to the right hand side of the LCD display. Using
the PARAM encoder beneath the display, scroll up or down until the ‘Tape Port Select’ menu is
highlighted and press <ENTER>.
Now press the Up cursor key until the ‘<Tape Ch17-24 >’ menu page is displayed. Using the PARAM
encoder set the ‘Bank Source’ to ‘ADAT’:
The Lagoon is capable of 24 bit recording, and so for optimum results, 24 bit wordlength can be selected
here. If your audio sequencer supports only 16 or 20 bit resolution, set the wordlength appropriately–
check your sequencer manual for more information.
Set the desired wordlength on the 328XD with the PARAM encoder.
