What is the DI-10 Digital I/O Interface?
The DI-10 Digital I/O Interface (S/PDIF) provides direct Digital Input and Output connection to
and from the ASR-10 using RCA-type connectors. The Digital Output will provide direct 44.1
KHz digital audio output of the Main Output mix when the current effect uses a 44.1 KHz sample
rate. The Digital Input can be used for direct digital sampling from an external digital audio
source at 44.1 or 48 KHz.
The Digital Input and Output conform to the S/PDIF standard.
Note: If you wish to record the 44.1 KHz digital output of the ASR-10 to a DAT
recorder, the DAT recorder must be able to record from its digital input at 44.1 KHz.
Some older/consumer DAT recorders do not record at 44.1 KHz as a copy protection
scheme: these DAT recorders zuiZI nof record the ASR-20’s 44.7 KHz digital output.
About the Digital Input
When the DI-10 Digital I/O is installed, the DIGITAL value for the Sample*Select page REC SRC
parameter is available.
When REC SRC=DIGITAL, the following rules apply:
l The left and right analog Audio Input jacks are disabled.
l Any digital audio source that has an S/PDIF “coaxial” RCA-type digital output jack can be
connected to the ASR-10 Digital YO In jack.
l Digital signals are received by the Digital I/O In jack, and can be sampled in stereo or mono.
l Digital signals received at the Digital If0 In jack can be monitored on the Audio Tracks, and
the monitored signal will be affected by the Edit/(audio) Track parameters. The left portion
of the signal is monitored on Audio Track A, and the right portion on Audio Track B. The
Audio Tracks can be independently selected and Source Monitor enabled, as normal.
l Both 44.1 KHz and 48 KHz digital signals will be recognized by the digital input, and can be
monitored and sampled (Note: When a digital signal is being monitored, some clicks will be
heard. The clicks are more frequent when a 48 KHz digital signal is being monitored. This is
normal, and is due to the difference in clock rate between the ASR-10 and the external digital
signal source. The clicks affect monitoring only, and will not be recorded into any samples).
l 32 KHz digital signals are not supported by the Digital I/O Input and should not be used.
l When REC SRC=DIGITAL, the effect algorithm on the FX Select l FX Bypass page is
automatically set to FX=OFF 23 VOICE 44K, and cannot be edited until the REC SRC
parameter is changed to another value. Attempting to change effects while REC
SRC=DIGITAL will cause the following error message to be displayed:
