When you play back the audio once it is on ADAT, it will adjust
back to its normal speed and of course sound sharp…roughly 147
cents sharp. If you want to hear the audio on ADAT at the original
pitch and speed, bring the ADAT’s pitch setting down to -147.
Doing so will temporarily show “44.1” in the ADAT’s LED display,
indicating that you are now running at the equivalent to the
44.1kHz rate.
1.3 BASIC OPERATION
When power is first turned on, the AI-1 recalls the most recent mode
of operation (the last mode before power down). The mode is
indicated by the LEDs in the control buttons. These buttons are used
to change the operating mode. The ADAT CHANNEL buttons, the
DESTINATION RATE buttons, and the SOURCE and
DESTINATION buttons define the possible uses of the AI-1.
1.3A Source
The three SOURCE buttons (ADAT, AES/EBU, and S/PDIF) are
used to select the digital source. When one of these buttons is
pressed, its LED will be lit indicating it has been selected. Only one
of the sources can be selected at a time; the corresponding format
input will be enabled, while the others will be disabled.
Here are descriptions of the three Source possibilities:
• ADAT: This allows two tracks from a connected ADAT to be
transmitted to another ADAT, or an AES/EBU or S/PDIF device
(depending on the Destination setting).
• AES/EBU: This allows two tracks from a connected AES/EBU
device to be recorded to an ADAT, or another AES/EBU device,
or an S/PDIF device (depending on the Destination setting).
• S/PDIF: This allows two tracks from a connected S/PDIF device
to be recorded to an ADAT, or another S/PDIF device, or an
AES/EBU device (depending on the Destination setting).
If the selected Source button’s LED lights solid, it means that a
