CHAPTER 8: ADAT ADVANCED FEATURES
8.0 ABOUT THE ADVANCED FEATURES
There are some extra functions built into each ADAT that are not listed in the main
text of your ADAT manual which we will discuss here. While holding the SET
LOCATE switch and pressing certain specified switches, these extra functions can
be accessed.
These extra functions are divided into two sections:
1 Those that you may need one day. Accessing these functions is safe and easy
to do. We have listed these below.
2 Those that are purely for diagnostic and service purposes which should NOT be
accessed. They could put your ADAT out of alignment and even possibly
damage your tapes.
We have not listed those used for diagnostic and service purposes, but it is
conceivable that you may accidentally access them. We strongly caution you not to
experiment with anything other than the functions listed below or you could ruin an
important session, damage tapes irreparably and maybe even necessitate service
work for your ADAT.
8.1 ADVANCED FEATURES
While holding the SET LOCATE switch, pressing the specified switches will do the
following:
8.1A Eject the tape in the Master ADAT of a Mutli
ADAT System
Hold SET LOCATE and press EJECT. This ejects only the tape in the Master
Machine and sends MMC (Midi Machine Control) Stop messages to slave units.
Normally pressing EJECT would stop all connected ADATs and eject all the tapes
simultaneously. Each slave ADAT has its own independent control so their tapes can
be removed at any time.
