Digital Input and Output

Fast Track C400 provides digital inputs and out-

puts for S/PDIF format digital audio. These in-

puts and outputs can be used in conjunction

with the two analog inputs and four analog out-

puts of Fast Track C400. This means the inter-

face is capable of handling 4 inputs and 6 out-

puts simultaneously.

Connecting Digital Devices

To connect a S/PDIF device to Fast Track C400:

1 Use 75-ohm coaxial cables with male RCA

connectors on both ends (purchased separately).

2 To send a digital signal into the Fast Track

C400, connect the device's S/PDIF output to the

Fast Track's S/PDIF input port. To send a digital

signal from the Fast Track C400 to an external

device, connect the Fast Track C400 S/PDIF out-

put to the device's S/PDIF input.

Using S/PDIF Input

To configure Fast Track C400 to record from a

S/PDIF device:

1 Open the Fast Track C400 Control Panel and

click the Setup button in the upper right section

of the window.

2 When the Setup dialog opens, select S/PDIF

from the Clock Source pop-up menu on the

General Setting page, and then click the Close

button in the lower right of the Setup window.

3 On the recording track in your software, select

the appropriate stereo or mono S/PDIF source

from the track Input selector.

The S/PDIF inputs are now active and will pass

audio to Fast Track C400.

MIDI Connections

The two MIDI ports on Fast Track C400 let you

take advantage of MIDI features within your re-

cording application, including recording and

editing MIDI tracks.

To connect your MIDI device to Fast Track C400:

1 Connect a standard 5-pin MIDI cable from the

MIDI Out port of your device to the MIDI In

port on the back of Fast Track C400.

2 Connect another MIDI cable from the

MIDI In port of your device to the MIDI Out

port on the back of Fast Track C400.

Recording and playing back through the

S/PDIF ports may vary depending on your

audio software. Please refer to your soft-

ware's documentation to learn more about

how to do this.
