Pro Tools LE as Word Clock Slave
In order to slave Pro Tools to an external Word
clock source, you must configure Word clock as
the Pro Tools Clock source, as follows:
To configure Pro Tools LE with 003 or 003 Rack as
a Word clock slave:
1 Make sure all Word clock and audio connec-
tions are correct as described earlier in this sec-
tion.
2 Make sure the external Word clock source is
powered on, and configured to output 1x Word
clock. (Be sure to verify any required termina-
tion; see the manufacturer’s documentation if
you need more information on the particular re-
quirements for your device.)

4 Choose Hardware > Setup.
5 Click the Clock Source pop-up menu and

Using External Effects
Devices
The 003 and 003 Rack can make dedicated con-
nections to external analog or digital devices.
You can send and return signals to analog de-
vices using the analog inputs and outputs on the
003 and the 003 Rack. You can also send and re-
turn a digital signal to an external device that
supports digital I/O (such as a reverb unit), and
monitor the return by connecting its analog
outputs to available inputs on 003 and
003 Rack.
When you use the digital inputs and outputs on
your Pro Tools LE system as effects sends and re-
turns to a digital effects device, Pro Tools LE
should be the clock master in most cases. Set
your digital effects device to accept an external
digital clock so that it synchronizes to
Pro Tools LE.
To connect an external analog device to your
system:
1 Connect each input of the external signal pro-
cessor to an available analog output on the 003
or 003 Rack.
2 Connect each output of the external signal
processor to an available analog input on the
003 or 003 Rack.
If you plan to use the external device as an
Insert in Pro Tools, connect it to inputs and
outputs of the same number (for example,
Input 5 and Output 5) of 003 or 003 Rack.
