Input Status
SyncCheck
indicates whether there is a valid signal (Lock, No Lock) for each input (ADAT,
SPDIF, AES, Word/TCO and internal Sync), or if there is a valid and synchronous signal (Sync).
In the third row the sample rate measured by the hardware is shown.
8.2 Settings dialog - Pitch
Usually soundcards and audio interfaces generate their internal clock (master mode) by a
quartz. Therefore the internal clock can be set to 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, but not to a value in be-
tween. SteadyClock, RME's sensational Low Jitter Clock System, is based on a
Direct Digital
Synthesizer (DDS). This superior circuitry can generate nearly any frequency with highest preci-
sion.
DDS has been implemented into the HDSPe AIO Pro with regard to the needs of professional
video applications, as well as to achieve maximum flexibility. The section Pitch includes both a
list of typical video frequencies (so called pull up/pull down at 0.1% and 4%) and a fader to freely
change the basic sample rate in steps of 1 Hz (!) over a range of +/- 5%.
The DDS dialog requires the HDSPe AIO Pro to be in clock mode Master! The frequency
setting will only be applied to this one specific card!
Changing the sample rate in bigger steps during record/playback often results in a loss of
audio, or brings up warning messages of the audio software. Therefore the desired sample
rate should be set at least coarsely before starting the software.
Coarse
Coarse modification in steps of 50 Hz
is done by clicking with the mouse to
the left and right of the fader knob.
Fine
Fine modification in steps of 1 Hz is
done by using the left/right cursor
keys.
Reset
Ctrl key plus left mouse click.
Application examples
Pitch allows for a simultaneous change of speed and tune during record and playback. From
alignment to other sources up to creative effects
– everything is possible.
Pitch enables you to intentionally de-tune the complete DAW. This way, the DAW can match
instruments which have a wrong or unchangeable tuning.
Pitch allows for the change of the sample rate of all WDM devices at the same time. Since Vista
this is no longer possible via the audio program, thus requires a manual reconfiguration of all
WDM devices. Changing the sample rate from the Settings dialog solves this problem.
