with Cantarem
Cantarem's sliders can modulate channel 7 & 8's contribution
to the mix. Two possibilities:
• Select an 'in & Xb' setting (e.g. 03, 05, ...35), and devote
Cantarem's slider #7 to the 'in' recorded on T7 while the
dynamic mix of T1––T7 (Xb) is recorded on T8.
• Select an 'in & in' pair (e.g., 37 to 44), and devote
Cantarem's #7 and #8 sliders to this pair recorded on T7 &
T8.; The mix of T1––T8 is not recorded, it is sent directly to
the Phones, Line-out, Digi-out or Foldback.
note1:
pressing the Cantarem solo button, the pan-pot of T7
or T8 is displayed on the rectangular screen.
note2:
T7T8 can't be '
m-s
' declared.
AES power
As soon as an AES digi-in is selected, the digi 1-6 input icons
start flashing as a reminder to turn the AES power 'ON'.
AES converters consume 110mA at 48kHz and 200mA at
96kHz; if they are not in use, turn them 'OFF' in TECHSET.02
'Digi power'. The AES converters translate any incoming
AES sample rate, e.g. 44.1kHz, to Cantar's selected sam-
pling rate, e.g. 48000Hz.
More tracks by 'wordclock'
Cantar-X2 only
To impose a sampling rate & phase to Cantar(s), connect
an external
wordclock
generator to the SubD 15 pin-4 in-
put (p.58). Select a 'WK' value in AUDIO/TC.01 'Sample
Rate' (p.31). In case you select the wrong value, '
Wordclock
Sample Rate mismatch
' is displayed on the screen. If there
is no wordclock signal on pin-4, '
Wordclock input missing
' is
displayed. Linking two Cantars to the same WK generator is
the way to 'build' a 'sample accurate' sixteen-track recorder.
note:
Cantar CAN'T be used as a wordclock generator
).

be a great time saver.
