Appendix B: Error/Warning Messages

This appendix lists and explains the various error and warning
messages that can appear on the 764 display. Figure 32 on page 45
shows the In-bar message location.

Channels not synchronized

Location: Audio View, phase display.

The left and right samples are not synchronized well enough to be
reliably paired. Only possible when left and right channels are
chosen from different inputs (for example, channel 1 paired with
channel 4).

CLIP

Location: Audio View, above the meter bar of the affected channel.

The CLIP indicator flashes when the digital audio data on the input
channel remains at full scale for n or more consecutive samples. The
factory default value of n is one (1); it may be changed through the
Level Meters submenu. “Full scale” means maximum coding level,
either positive or negative. Maximum coding level is determined by
the number of active bits detected in the digital input signal.

This indicator persists for the “CLIP/MUTE Hold Time,” also set
through the Level Meters submenu. When a Session is running, the
instrument counts CLIPs and displays the current total on the
Session display.
