R-BUS to computer, and back to R-BUS. Here, we’ll be using the Delta
R-BUS Audio Card’s 25-pin R-BUS I/O, plus the analog output stereo
pair for monitoring.
NOTE: Because improper connections can potentially make
very loud noises, it’s a good idea to have monitor levels
turned down while hooking up audio equipment -- you may
even choose to turn your computer off before making the
connections.
In this example, we will connect a Roland 8-channel multitrack (such as
the VSR 880) to the Delta R-BUS PCI Host card using an R-BUS cable.
We’ll also connect the Delta R-BUS’s analog outputs to a sound system
for monitoring purposes. A setup like this might be used to transfer a
multitrack recording from a Roland multitrack machine into an audio
editing program, performing the appropriate edits, and then transferring
the edited material back to the Roland multitrack. The example below
shows the setup you will need to perform these tasks.
Transferring from Roland R-BUS to Computer
1. Connect the Roland multitrack’s 25-pin R-BUS output to the R-BUS
connector of the Delta R-BUS PCI host card’s 25-pin R-BUS connector,
using an R-BUS cable.
2. Connect the Delta’s analog outputs to some type of amplified sound
system. The sound system should be equipped with speakers or
