Introduction 1

Introduction

This Applications Guide provides detailed examples of real-life 02R and 03D recording systems. The application diagrams show exactly what equipment is needed for each system and how to connect and make the relevant settings. The 02R and 03D feature as the main components throughout the applications, with various equipment by other manufacturers introduced to form complete systems.

Equipment in this Guide

The applications in this guide show how the 02R and 03D can be used with complementary equipment from other manufacturers to create complete recording and mixing systems. For those not familiar with 02R and 03D complementary equipment, here’s a brief description of several such products.

Akai DR8 & DR16

The Akai DR8 is a digital hard disk recorder featuring 8-track simultaneous recording and playback. The optional ADAT (IB-804A) interface card provides 8-channel digital I/O with an 02R or 03D. The DR16 is a 16-track hard disk recorder featuring 8-track recording and 16-track playback. The optional ADAT (IB804AEX) interface card, for use only with the DR16, provides 8 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs.

Alesis ADAT Professional Digital Audio Recorder

This is the original ADAT format recorder made by Alesis. It’s an eight-track recorder and uses standard S-VHS tapes. It features 16-bit, 64-times oversampling AD/DA converters, and a sampling rate of 48 kHz. A 120 minute S-VHS tape provides a total recording time of 40 minutes. Up to 16 ADATs can be connected together for a fully synchronized, sample accurate 128 track recording system. Digital I/O consists of Alesis optical connectors. These can be connected directly to an 02R or 03D with an optional CD8-AT Digital I/O card. The LRC Remote Control, which duplicates the front panel controls, comes as standard, and a full function BRC Master Remote Control is available as an option.

Alesis BRC Master Remote Control

The BRC Master Remote Control provides complete synchronized remote control of up to 16 ADATs, for 128-track recording. Sample accurate digital copy and paste editing allows digital audio data to be transferred between ADATs with no signal degradation. In addition, the BRC reads and writes SMPTE timecode, generates MIDI Timecode and MIDI clocks, reads and generates wordclock, and reads composite video sync. Autolocation provides multiple locate points per song. Seamless punch in/out is assisted with variable crossfade.

Alesis AI-2 Multipurpose Audio/Video Synchronization Interface

The Alesis AI-2 Multipurpose Audio/Video Synchronization Interface supports SMPTE timecode, Sony 9-pin protocol, video sync, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz sampling rates, and MIDI Timecode. So ADATs can easily be slaved to video and audio master recorders. At the same time, the AI-2 can provide timecode via its timecode output, which can be fed to the 02R for use with automix.

Alesis M20

The Alesis M20 is a 20-bit, 8-track digital multitrack recorder. It can be connected to the 02R or 03D digital mixers, which both support a maximum wordlength of 24 bits, using existing CD8-AT interface cards, which do not require modiﬁcation or special settings.

Yamaha 02R & 03D Applications Guide

2 Introduction

Fostex D-90 8-track Digital Recorder

The Fostex D-90 is a digital hard disk recorder featuring 8-track simultaneous recording and playback and ADAT I/O as standard.

Fostex RD-8 Digital Multitrack Recorder

The Fostex RD-8 Digital Multitrack Recorder uses the same eight-track digital format as the Alesis ADAT, making it fully compatible. Digital I/O, Sync I/O, and meter bridge connections are also compatible with those of the ADAT. The RD-8 can be connected directly to an 02R or 03D with an optional CD8-AT Digital I/O card. The RD-8 features an on-board synchronizer for synchronization to a master recorder via timecode. Timecode offset and MIDI Machine Control are supported. LTC can be recorded on a dedicated timecode track. There are 100 locate points and variable pre and post roll times. Essentially, the RD-8 is an ADAT with some of the features of the BRC Master Remote Control and AI-2 Multipurpose Audio/Video Synchronization Interface on-board.

JL Cooper Datasync-2 Synchronizer

The JL Cooper Datasync-2 Synchronizer is a relatively low cost synchronizer that can be used to convert ADAT format sync to SMPTE timecode and MTC. It can be used to set up a cost-effective, fully synchronized 02R or 03D and ADAT digital recording system.

Midiman Syncman Plus

The Midiman Syncman Plus is an SMPTE to MTC converter and MTC generator. Front panel DIP switches are used to select the timecode type when working as a generator. For SMPTE to MTC conversion the frame rate is detected and set automatically.

TASCAM DA-88 & DA-38 Digital Multitrack Recorders

The TASCAM DA-88 Digital Multitrack Recorder is an eight-track digital recorder that uses 8 mm video tape and a 4-head mechanism. It features 16-bit AD/DA converters and

44.1 kHz and 48 kHz sampling rates. A 120 minute tape provides a recording time of 108 minutes. Up to 16 DA-88s can be connected together for a fully synchronized, sample accurate 128-track recording system. Digital I/O consists of a TASCAM TDIF-1 connector. This can be connected directly to an 02R or 03D with an optional CD8-TDII Digital I/O card. The TASCAM DA-38 is a lower-cost Digital Multitrack Recorder aimed at musicians, and provides full compatibility with tapes recorded on the DA-88.

TASCAM SY-88 Sync Board

The optional TASCAM SY-88 Sync Board provides versatile synchronization facilities for the TASCAM DA-88. It features on-board SMPTE and MIDI timecode generators, an RS422 video editor connection, and video sync inputs. An SY-88 Sync Board is essential for synchronization with 02R or 03D automation.

In a multiple DA-88 system, only the Control Master DA-88 needs to have an SY-88 Sync Board installed. Control slaves do not need SY-88 Sync Boards. Also, only the tape used in the Control Master DA-88 needs to be striped with timecode.

02R Applications 5

Part 1: 02R Applications

System Operating Notes

02R

• 02R interface cards must be screwed securely in place. Do not leave the screws out after installation as the cards will not be grounded correctly.

• If a crackling noise can be heard, make sure not more than one device is set to internal wordclock. One device should be set for internal wordclock (master) and all other devices should be set to external wordclock (slave).

• To see the version number of an 02R, hold down the UTILITY button while turning on the 02R.

02R Cascade

02R

• In a cascaded 02R system, the ID parameter on the Cascade Conﬁguration display must be set correctly. The setting determines the amount of delay compensation. The ID parameter is available only when a CD8-CS Cascade card is installed. The ID on the ﬁrst 02R in a cascade system does not need to be set. In fact, because the IN/OUT switch on the Cascade card in the ﬁrst 02R is set to OUT, the ID parameter cannot be set. The next 02R should be set to ID 1, the next to ID 2, and the last to ID 3, as shown below.

ID=0

02R-A

• The CD8-CS Cascade kit contains two CD8-CS cards and one 25-pin straight cable.

ADAT

• To use the ADAT’s DIGITAL INPUT, press the DIGITAL IN button on the ADAT. Do not press the DIGITAL I/O button on the BRC.

• Set the DIGITAL I/O button on the BRC to OFF. This function is for direct ping-pong between multiple ADATs. If this is turned ON while connected to an 02R, bus assignments will produce unexpected results. Press the DIGITAL IN button on the ADAT to use the DIGITAL INPUT.

• To check the ADAT wordclock source, press the SET LOCATE and DIGITAL IN buttons together. The display will show “int” for internal or “digi” for external.

• The sampling rate of an ADAT can be set to either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz. Use Fixed mode for 48 kHz and Variable mode for 44.1 kHz (using the PITCH DOWN button, set to –146 cents. At which point 44.1 appears on the display). The newer ADAT-XT has dedicated switches for selecting these two sampling rates.

6 02R Applications

• In a multiple ADAT system with no BRC, Control Slave ADATs must be powered up before the Control Master ADAT, because when the Control Master ADAT is powered up it checks how many Control Slave ADATs are connected, allocates them device numbers, and automatically sets the system wordclock.

• In an ADAT system with a BRC, the ADAT(s) must be powered up before the BRC, because when the BRC is powered up it checks how many ADATs are connected, allocates them device numbers, and automatically sets the system wordclock. The BRC works as Control Master.

• To generate timecode on a BRC, press the GEN SYNC button.

• ADAT tapes can be duplicated when ADATs are connected together directly. Be aware that a delay (27 samples) will be introduced if tapes are duplicated via the 02R.

• To see the version number of an ADAT, press the SET LOCATE and FAST FWD buttons together.

• Both the ADAT and BRC can be initialized as follows. Initialization is recommended when a BRC is behaving strangely, and the ﬁrst time an ADAT is connected to a BRC. To initialize, hold down the RECORD and PLAY transport buttons while turning on the power.

DA-88

• In an 02R and DA-88 system, all connected DA-88s must be powered up even if they are not being used. Failure to do so may cause an intermittent pumping noise on the 02R.

• The sampling rate and the use of Emphasis in a DA-88 system is determined when the DA-88 tapes are formatted. For digital recording we recommend that Emphasis be OFF.

• In a single DA-88 system, the MACHINE ID is set to 0.

• In a multiple DA-88 system, the Control Master is set to MACHINE ID 0 and subsequent DA-88 Control Slaves are set to MACHINE ID 1 and upwards. The Control Master DA-88 should be used for synchronized transport and locate operations.

• The terminator bundled with the PW-88S sync cable should be connected to the SYNC OUT connector on the last DA-88 in the chain to ensure reliable synchronization.

• The optional Tascam SY-88 Sync Board must be installed to use SMPTE timecode and MTC. This is available from Tascam. In a multiple DA-88 system, only the Control Master DA-88 needs to have an SY-88 Sync Board installed. Control Slaves do not need SY-88 Sync Boards. Also, only the tape used in the DA-88 Control Master needs to be striped with timecode.

• The rear panel of the SY-88 Sync Board has a DIP switch labeled MODE. Set DIP switches 2 and 5 to ON (O). Set internal switch 8 on the SY-88 board marked S2 to ON.

• To use the MTC function, the SY-88

• Depending on the version of SY-88 Sync Board used, you may need to terminate the WORDCLOCK IN connection when the DA-88 is used as a wordclock slave.

• On the Tascam (CD8-TD) cards there is a DIP switch that should be set to 16-bit. This is the initial setting, but you should conﬁrm it. This switch is for use with Tascam High-Bit recording applications.

• The Tascam 25-pin digital audio cables PW-88DL (5 m) and PW-88D (1 m) are available from Tascam.

• DA-88 tapes can be duplicated when DA-88s are connected together directly. Be aware that a delay (24 samples) will be introduced if tapes are duplicated via the 02R.

• To see the version number of a DA-88, hold down the REW, F FWD, and STOP buttons

when powering up the DA-88.

Akai DR8 & DR16

• When a track is armed for recording, the DR8 or DR16 will normally try to take its

wordclock source from that track’s input. To prevent this, in the Digi submenu set Auto Sync to Off. Note that the Auto Sync setting is not memorized when the DR8 or DR16 is turned off, although it can be stored as part of a project.

02R Optional Interface Cards

To interface the 02R with digital multitrack equipment, optional interface cards are required. Up to four single-size interface cards can be installed in the 02R.

In the system diagrams presented in this guide, interface cards are numbered from [1] to

[4] . These numbers refer to the 02R slot in which the card is installed. The following

Wordclocks

When several digital audio devices are conﬁgured in a system, it is essential that they are all synchronized to a single wordclock source. This is not SMPTE or MIDI timecode synchronization. Wordclock synchronization refers to the synchronization of the digital audio processing components inside each digital audio device. Typically, one digital audio device acts as wordclock master and all other devices work as wordclock slaves. The wordclock frequency is the same as the chosen sampling rate.

Even though some systems appear to work okay with several digital audio devices not sharing a common wordclock (i.e., all devices set to their own internal wordclock), digital audio data will not be processed correctly. In some systems this problem will be very audible. In others it may cause subtle distortion. Be aware of this.

In a system where all devices share a common wordclock, it is important that all devices be powered on even if just one or two devices are being used. Obviously, the wordclock master device must be powered on. Before starting a recording session it’s a good idea to make sure that all wordclock slaves are locked to the master wordclock source. Most devices have front panel indicators that show whether they are locked to internal or external wordclock.

02R

Setting the 02R’s Wordclock

To set the 02R’s wordclock source:

1. Press the DIGITAL I/O button repeatedly until the Word Clock Select display appears.

2. Use the cursor button to select a wordclock source.

3. Press the ENTER button.

If the 02R locks correctly to the chosen wordclock source, the respective indicator appears

highlighted. See “ the indicators.

As well as internal, the 02R can derive its wordclock from any one of 19 input options. It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the various indicators on the Word Clock Select display shown below. The four sections of the display, 11

02R with One ADAT (Timecode on Tape Track)

This application shows how the 02R can be used with one Alesis ADAT to create a 24-input, 8-track digital recording system. As shown in Figure 1, track eight of the ADAT has been striped with SMPTE timecode. This is then fed to the 02R’s SMPTE TIMECODE input using a phone jack to phono cable.

The eight digital tape returns and 24 Mic/Line inputs provide up to 32 inputs at mixdown. In addition, the 02R’s built-in automation and scene memory systems provide both dynamic and static mix automation referenced to timecode.

Connections

• The ADAT (CD8-AT) cards must be screwed securely in place. Do not leave the screws out after installation as the cards will not be grounded correctly.

• The Digital In/Out connectors on the 02R and ADATs are connected together using Optical Cables. Press the DIGITAL IN button on the ADAT to use the DIGITAL IN.

• The ADAT is connected to Slot [1] of the 02R. These tape inputs correspond to tracks one through eight.

• ADAT track eight is striped with SMPTE timecode. ADAT track eight analog out (phone jack) is connected directly to the 02R’s SMPTE TIMECODE input (phono).

An ADAT (CD8-AT) card is installed in Slot [1], so any one of the ﬁrst 8 tape inputs can be selected as the wordclock source on the DIGITAL I/O menu.

In Figure 1 the ADAT is shown as wordclock master. However, it could alternatively be used as wordclock slave with the 02R as master. In this case, the ADAT would be set to “digi”. This can be conﬁrmed by pressing the DIGITAL IN and SET LOCATE buttons together. The internal clock can then be set on the 02R

ADAT Wordclock Setup

The ADAT should be set as wordclock master. To conﬁrm this, press the SET LOCATE and DIGITAL IN buttons together. The display should show “int”, meaning internal wordclock. The ADAT sampling rate can be set to either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz. Use Fixed mode for 48 kHz and Variable mode for 44.1 kHz (using the PITCH DOWN button, set to –147 cents. At which point “–146, 44.1, –148” appears on the display). The newer ADAT-XT has dedicated switches for selecting these two sampling rates.

Notes

• Press the DIGITAL IN button on the ADAT to use the DIGITAL INPUT.

Two 02Rs with Four ADATs & BRC

This application shows how two 02Rs can be used with four Alesis ADATs and a BRC Master Remote Control to create a 48-input, 32-track digital recording system. The 32 digital tape returns and 48 Mic/Line inputs provide up to 80 inputs at mixdown. In addition, the 02R’s built-in automation and scene memory systems provide both dynamic and static mix automation referenced to timecode.

The two 02Rs are cascaded together using a 25-pin straight cable and two Cascade (CD8-CS) cards, which are installed in Slot [3] of each 02R (could be Slot [4]). The cascade connection carries the eight buses, any four of the eight AUX buses, Stereo bus, and Solo bus. This allows both consoles to work together as one large 80-input mixing console. The master section of 02R–B is used for monitoring and two-track operations. The studio monitors and two-track recording equipment are also connected to this 02R.

Connections

• The ADAT (CD8-AT) and Cascade (CD8-CS) cards must be screwed securely in place. Do not leave the screws out after installation as the cards will not be grounded correctly.

• The Digital In/Out connectors on the 02R and ADAT are connected together using the Optical Cable. Press the DIGITAL IN buttons on the ADATs to use the DIGITAL IN.

• ADAT–A is connected to Slot [1] of 02R–A and the tape inputs correspond to tracks one through eight. ADAT–B is connected to Slot [2] of 02R–A and the tape inputs correspond to tracks nine through sixteen. ADAT–C is connected to Slot [1] of 02R–B and the tape inputs correspond to tracks 17 through 24. ADAT–D is connected to Slot [2] of 02R–B and the tape inputs correspond to tracks 25 through 32.

• The Alesis BRC Master Remote Control can control up to 16 ADATs (i.e. 128 tracks).

• The BRC provides ADAT timecode to SMPTE timecode conversion. In addition, a timecode offset can be speciﬁed, so the automix start time can be adjusted.

• The 75 ohm wordclock termination switches on both 02Rs is set to ON.

02R Wordclock Setup

On the DIGITAL I/O menu, the wordclock source should be set to W.CLK.

ADAT & BRC Wordclock Setup

The BRC works as wordclock master and the four ADATs follows it automatically via the 9-pin sync cables. The sampling rate can be set to either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz. Use Fixed mode for 48 kHz and Variable mode for 44.1 kHz (using the PITCH DOWN button, set to –147 cents. At which point “–146, 44.1, –148” appears on the display). The newer ADAT-XT has dedicated switches for selecting these two sampling rates.

Notes

• The ADATs must be powered up before the BRC and in the following order: D, C, B, A. This is because when the BRC is powered up it checks how many ADATs are connected, allocates them device numbers, and automatically sets the system clock.

• The rear of the Cascade (CD8-CS) cards have an IN/OUT switch. On 02R–A is set to OUT. On 02R–B it is set to IN.

• To generate timecode on the BRC, press the GEN SYNC button.
