• If the slave tape is formatted, the slave autolocates to the same time as the
master and then format extension begins.
If the master initiates recording from the start of the tape and the slave format function
is on, start-to-finish formatting begins regardless of whether the slave tape is
formatted or not.
Caution: If the slave tape was previously formatted and is being reformatted or having
its format extended, do not stop formatting at a point where the old format still exists,
or timing discontinuities may result. See section 3.1A for more information.
5.3 AUTO-LOCATION/LOOPING WITH MULTIPLE ADATS
There are several fine points concerning auto-location and auto-looping in multiple
ADAT systems.
• Once the master ADAT recognizes the slave ADAT(s), it transmits the master
locate points, Auto Play, and Auto 2>1 settings to the slave(s). Any attempt to
store any locate points on the slave machines will be ignored.
• Enabling or disabling the master Auto Play and/or Auto 2>1 settings will enable or
disable those settings on the slave(s).
• When the master and slave play in sync, and you initiate a locate command on
the master, the slave will follow the master. You cannot initiate a locate command
on a synced slave in play mode.
• When the master and slave play in sync, if the master enters play after locating
(Auto Play), the slave will follow the master. If the master Auto Play function is
disabled but enabled on the slave, the slave will ignore the Auto Play command.
• When the master and slave play in sync, and the master locates to 1 after
reaching Locate 2 (the Auto 2>1 function), the slave will follow the master. If the
master Auto 2>1 function is disabled but enabled on the slave, the slave will
ignore the Auto 2>1 command.
• If the slave is running independently (i.e., not synched to the master), then it will
use its own Auto Play and Auto 2>1 settings.
• The pitch can only be controlled from the master.
