Spirit Digital 328 v2
14
The Dakota will commonly be used with a software sequencer/hard disk recorder to allow the
simultaneous playback and recording of 8 individual tracks of audio, via the ADAT I/O. Here, the
software application must be configured to access the Dakota ADAT I/O via the relevant
Windows device drivers that came with the Dakota.
When playing back audio tracks from the software application, tracks 1-16 will be accessible from
channels 17-32 respectively in the Tape Fader Bank on the 328.
To record a signal onto a track within the software application, send the required channels to
Tape Sends 1-16. See the 328 manual for full instructions on how to send a channel to tape.
You may wish to utilize the Dakota S/PDIF output to transmit a stereo signal to the 328. Again
the software application must be configured to access the Dakota ‘S 1:2’ S/PDIF output via the
relevant Windows device drivers that came with the Dakota.
The stereo Dakota S/PDIF input will be accessible on the 328 from either
Stereo Input 1, Stereo Input 2, FX Return 1, FX Return 2, 2 Track Tape Return,
depending on the 328 S/PDIF input setting (see the ‘S/PDIF input’ section in chapter 2 of this
guide).
The 328 can also be configured to transmit a stereo signal back to the Dakota via the Dakota
S/PDIF input. Here the 328 can be set to either transmit any of the following signals to the
Dakota S/PDIF input:
Aux 1/2 sends, Aux 3/4 sends, FX 1/2 sends, Groups 1-8 and Control Room
The desired setting can be configured via the ‘S/PDIF O/P Setup’ menu on the 328 (see the 328
manual for full instructions).
Again, ensure that the relevant drivers are fully installed for the software application to correctly
access the Dakota S/PDIF I/O.
