UTILITIES /

MASTER LEVEL Sets the overall output level of the sampler.

NOTE REGARDING MASTER LEVEL: The default setting for this parameter is -12dB, the

reason being that, unlike DAT or other stereo digital recorders which record at 0dB and playback

at 0dB, the S6000 records at 0dB but has to play many voices simultaneously (the other

recorders only need to play exactly what they recorded). Each voice you play adds extra gain

to the output so, if you were to set 0dB and play many voices, you would get distortion. By

setting it to -12dB, you have 12dB of headroom before clipping will occur.

However, if you are only recording and playing back a stereo recording on its own (for example,

mastering a track down to stereo using the disk recording functions), you would be advised to

set the MASTER LEVEL parameter to 0dB so that you put out the same level as you recorded.

SYSTEM SCSI ID This sets the SCSI ID of the S6000’s CPU. The default is 6.

NOTE: It is vital that the SCSI ID set here does not conflict with any other devices on the SCSI

bus or unreliable operation may occur.

SYNC SOURCE This sets the sampling rate and/or external digital wordclock sync options.

These are:

INT 44.1kHz Sets the internal clock to run at 44.1kHz.

INT 48.0kHz Sets the internal clock to run at 48kHz.

EXT WORDCLOCK The sampler will run at whatever sampling rate

is received at the WORDCLOCK BNC

connector.

DIGITAL INPUT The sampler will run at whatever sampling rate

is received at the digital I/O phono input.

OPTICAL INPUT The sampler will run at whatever sampling rate

is received digital I/O optical input.

ADAT INPUT The sampler will run at whatever sampling rate

is received at the ADAT input (if installed).

DIGITAL I/O Here you may select between CONSUMER and PROFESSIONAL

depending on the type of digital equipment you are using with the S6000.
