Spirit Digital 328 v2
10
There are 4 different generations of DA-88, numbered conveniently from 1 – 4. A wordclock
incompatibility exists between Version 4 DA-88s and earlier models. Operation of a Version 4
DA-88 in conjunction with an earlier model requires a Version 4 Tascam DA-88 system board to
be fitted to the earlier generation machine. Operation of two Version 4 DA-88s or operation of
any two units from generations 1-3 does not present these problems and no system board
change is required.
The MIDI Machine Control (MMC) of the DA series allows transport controls to be controlled from
the 328. Record Enable MMC is also implemented into the DA machines. The DA-98 and DA-
78HR do not require additional hardware, but in order for MMC – DTRS Sync to be used on the
DA-38 and DA-88, additional hardware is required. With the DA-38, the MMC-38 unit must be
used, and with the DA-88 either the MMC-38 may be used or an SY-88 board may be fitted. The
MMC-38 and SY-88 have the same functionality as far as the Digital 328 is concerned – both
output SMPTE and MTC.
