[. . . ] · Select between computer out and ADAT in for routing to the Delta 1010 D/A section. · Select between computer out and analog in for ADAT input source. · ADAT In to ADAT Out "Thru" mode. * ADAT is a registered trademark of Alesis. What's in the Box? Contained in the Delta 1010-AI package, you should find the following: · · · · This manual. [. . . ] Your Delta 1010-AI and the Delta 1010 rack mount unit can also be used in a "standalone" mode, in which the Delta 1010 A/D converters send signal directly to the AI's optical output, and the Delta 1010-AI optical input connects directly to the 1010 rack unit's D/A converters. This can be done in several configurations using the front panel selection switches, as well as certain mixed modes or combinations of switches. These configurations, mixed modes, and standalone mode are covered in this section. AD En ab TM at ad le du e Mo fac er Int AT led to gOu Analo ts An En ab lta r De fo al led og Ins T To ADA En ab 6 A D AT D el ta 10 10 Any device that transmits or receives the ADAT optical format may be used with the Delta 1010 ADAT Interface. Many digital mixers use this ADAT "standard" 8-channel format, as do other computer interface cards. The audio you wish to transfer may come from or go to devices such as these. The Delta 1010-AI Block Diagram below gives you an overview of the signal flow possible with your Delta 1010-AI. As shown, with all of the Delta 1010-AI's switches in the "Off" position, the Delta 1010 PCI card's hardware outputs 1 through 8 are routed to the ADAT Optical out of the Delta 1010-AI in addition to the Delta 1010 analog outs 1 through 8 on the 1010's rack mount unit "by default. " All other Delta 1010-AI modes are bypassed. MIDI I/O simply passes through the Delta 1010-AI to the Delta 1010 rack unit. This default setting may be useful during mixdown. If, while mixing, you use your ADAT Out from the Delta 1010-AI to send audio to a digital mixer (for example), the analog outs may be used as additional sends to effect units or dynamics processors.

When this mode is selected, the 8 analog inputs on the Delta 1010 rack-mount unit are no longer routed to the Delta 1010 PCI card. In your music recording software, software inputs 1 through 8 will then receive their signal from the ADAT Optical input. Select this mode when recording an ADAT Optical signal into your computer. IMPORTANT: When choosing ADAT to Host mode, you must now set the Delta 1010 to receive its master clock source from the ADAT optical signal seen at the Delta 1010-AI ADAT Optical input. To do so, open the Delta control panel in your computer to the Hardware Settings page, and in the Master Clock section select "Wordclock" as your master clock source. When the Delta 1010AI is ADAT optical input is engaged and Wordclock is selected as the master clock, the wordclock input of the Delta 1010 rack unit is rendered inactive. NOTE: If you are using the ASIO drivers with your Delta 1010, your master clock setting will be selected from within your music program's audio setup page. Once you have opened that page, select "Wordclock" as your master clock source. You must also set the Delta control panel to match the sample rate of your ADAT optical device. Typically, ADATs default to 48kHz sampling rate, but they can be set to 44. 1kHz using the Alesis BRC. ADAT to Analog Outs: With this mode enabled, the ADAT Optical input on the Delta 1010-AI is routed through the Delta 1010 rack mount unit 24 bit D/A converters to analog outs 1 through 8. The audio outs of the Delta 1010 PCI card, which are normally routed to the analog outs of the 1010's rack unit, are defeated.
