External Signal Status
This box displays messages indicating the current synchronization status:
IfthestatusintheSettingstab(seetheClocksectionbelow)issetto“Internal,”theSignalStatuswilldisplaythis
message:
“Because the sync source is internal, the sample rate may be adjusted and external
digital signals will be ignored.”
You will be able to adjust the sample rate using the Sample Rate drop-down menu.
It is recommended that you do not change the sample rate from the Settings tab while your DAW application is
running, as this can cause some applications to exhibit unexpected behavior.
IfthestatusintheSettingstab(seetheClocksectionbelow)issetto“external,”andavaliddigitalsignalisreceived
at the S/PDIF input, the Signal Status panel will display this message:
“Because the sync source is external, the sample rate may not be adjusted. However,
since there is a valid external digital signal, the sample rate will automatically match it.”
The Sample Rate is determined by the external device and cannot be changed from the Fast Track Ultra 8R Control
Panel. Because of this, the Sample Rate drop-down menu will display the incoming sample rate, but will not allow
changes.

no valid external signal, the sample rate will remain 44.1 kHz..”
