Sync VS-880 to ADAT

SYNC:

You can synchronize the VS-880 with an ADAT system by using MIDI Time Code and/or MIDI Machine

Control messages generated from the Alesis BRC (the Alesis AI 2 can be used in place of a BRC). You will

need to connect the MIDI OUT connector of the BRC (or AI 2) to the MIDI IN connector on the VS-880 and,

if you are using MMC, connect the MIDI OUT connector of the VS-880 to the MIDI IN connector of the

BRC (or AI 2). Set the VS-880 to external sync and match the frame rate of the BRC (the VS-880 frame rate

defaults to 30). If you are using MIDI Machine Control messages set the VS-880 as the MMC slave and turn

Receive System Exclusive messages on.

AUDIO:

To transfer tracks back and forth between the ADAT and the VS-880 you can use the analog connections

(up to 4 tracks at a time) or the digital connections (up to 2 tracks at a time). When using the analog

connections you can connect the outputs of the ADAT to the inputs of the VS-880 to record ADAT tracks

onto the VS-880 (reverse the connections to record VS-880 tracks onto the ADAT). An analog mixer can be

used to increase the signal routing options. When using the digital connections you will need to use the

Alesis AI 1 to convert the Alesis digital signal to the coaxial S/P DIF signal used by the VS-880. Connect

the digital out connector of the AI 1 to the digital in connector of the VS-880 and connect the digital out

connector of the VS-880 to the digital in connector of the AI 1. You will need to make sure that the

sampling rate of the AI 1 matches that of the current song in the VS-880.
