Q:
How do I sync the Digi 001 with an ADAT using the JLCooper dataSYNC on a Mac?
A: Physical Connections---------------------- Connect out the ADAT sync (sony 9-pin) in to the JLCooper dataSYNC2.- Complete the loop by connecting out the JLCooper back into the ADAT sync.- Connect optically out of the ADAT in to the Digi 001 optical in (on the card in the computer) note: optical out has a red light emanating from it.- Connect MIDI out of the JLCooper to the Digi 001 MIDI in.- Complete the loop with MIDI out the Digi 001 back into the JLCooper dataSYNC2.JLCooper dataSYNC2---------------------- Turn on the JLCooper after you've powered up the ADAT (ADAT clock set to internal)- Set the desired frame rate on the dataSYNC2 to match the ADAT and Pro Tools frame rate.- Enable MTC on the dataSYNC2 by pressing the "MTC On" button. OMS Studio Setup---------------------- Double click on the keyboard with a "?" (branching off of the 001)- Set the Manufacturer to Alesis and the Model to your specific ADAT model.- Go to the edit menu to preferences and ensure that "serial DMA" is UNchecked.- Save setup and quit OMS.Pro Tools---------------------- Setups menu to peripherals: Synchronization: Device is Generic MTC reader, Port is ADAT, check the enable control of Pro Tools via MMC box.- Windows menu: Show Session Setup. Set the sample and frame rates to match that between the ADAT and Pro Tools. Current time and session start time should match hours. Set the sync mode to optical. Note: If you do not see "current time" then the timing information is not being sent from the JLCooper (check midi connections, OMS studio setup, Pro Tools settings or the dataSYNC2). If when switching sync mode from internal to optical you get the error "unable to detect a clock source" then the optical cable is at fault or Pro Tools is not receiving the optical sync (Go to setups: Playback engine: and make sure that Optical format is on ADAT). When changing session start times you must press the enter key to complete the change in hour. If it prompts you to adjust the regions choose "Maintain Relative" position.- MIDI menu: Input devices: Ensure that the ADAT is checked on.- Transport window: Put online (Operations menu: Online). The clock will flash blue and the edit window should read "waiting for sync" near the bottom left hand corner.- Setups menu: Preferences: Choose either record at ADAT lock or Insertion/selection.- Press play on the ADAT and Pro Tools should go into play and be in sync.
