Sample Rate Menu
Sets the sample rate of the UAD‑2 Live
Rack system. To change the sample rate,
click the SAMPLE RATE drop menu and
choose a new value from the menu.
UAD‑2 Live Rack supports the following
sample rates (kHz): 44.1, 48, 88.2, and
96. Set the sample rate to 48 kHz when
using with Soundcraft Vi Consoles.
Clock Source Menu
Sets the digital clock source for the UAD‑2
Live Rack system. To change the clock source, click the CLOCK SOURCE drop menu and
choose a new value from the menu. The Clock Source cannot be modified in SAFE mode.
The clock source can also be selected in the Info Bar. The Info Bar also includes status
indications in the
UAD‑2 Live Rack can synchronize to external MADI clock, external word clock, or
Internal clock. In typical use, UAD‑2 Live Rack should be set to MADI clock (the default
value) for synchronization with the digital audio from/to the MADI device.
MADI
When MADI is the clock source and multiple UAD‑2 Live Rack units are properly
connected, no additional clock distribution is needed (e.g., word clock).
Word Clock
When the clock source is word clock, the first UAD‑2 Live Rack unit (MADI channels 1
– 16) must receive the word clock. Then, route the word clock to the second UAD‑2 Live
Rack unit, and so on, for clocking up to four UAD‑2 Live Rack units.
MADI Channels Menu
Specifies the range of contiguous MADI channels to be processed by UAD‑2 Live Rack.
To change the MADI Channels, click the MADI CHANNELS drop menu and choose a new
value from the menu.
The MADI channels to be processed depend on the number of installed UAD‑2 Live Rack
units. For example, if one UAD‑2 Live Rack is installed for 16 channels of processing,
the available menu selections are 1–16, 17–32, 33–48, or 49–64.
If two units are installed for 32 channels of processing, the available menu selections are
1–32, 17–48, or 33–64, and so on, for up to four units with 64 channels of processing,
in which case only 1–64 is available in the menu.
