M-AUDIO Lagoon - Manual (Page 11)

1. Connect the LAGOON PCI Toslink Optical Output to the Input of your
receiving device.
a) If you are sending a 2-channel signal, your recieving device may be the
S/PDIF digital input of a stereo amplifier or mixer, DAT mixdown deck, or
stereo D/A converter (such as Midiman’s Flying Calf D/A or the M Audio
SuperDAC). A D/A converter will convert the digital signal to analog,
which would allow input to the same types of analog receiving devices.
b) If you are sending an 8-channel signal to the LAGOON PCI Toslink Optical
Output, your receiving device may be the optical input of an ADAT, 8-
channel optical input of a digital mixer, or the optical input of an 8-channel
D/A converter.
2. Connect the outputs of your digital source to the LAGOON PCI Toslink
Optical Input.
a) If your source is 2-channel optical, this may be the digital outputs of a DAT
deck, CD player, digital mixer, or A/D converter (such as the Midiman
Flying Calf A/D) that is converting the analog outputs of a similar source
to a 2-channel digital signal.
b) If your source is 8-channel optical, this may be an ADAT optical output, the
8-channel optical buss outs of a digital mixer, or the 8-channel optical
output of an A/D converter.
3. Connect either the Sync Output of your ADAT recorder or the supplied MIDI
breakout cable to the 9-pin DB connector. The LAGOON will provide either
ADAT Sync or MIDI In and Out (depending on the jumper settings), controlled
by the LAGOON Tools applet (see section, “The LAGOON Tools Applet”).
a) If you are using ADATs in your system, the sync output of the last ADAT
in your chain should be connected to the 9-pin DB connector. This will
allow the Lagoon to receive a sync signal from the ADATs, making the
ADATs the sync “master,” and your computer the sync “slave.”
b) This 9-pin connector can alternately be used as a 1 In, 1 Out MIDI
interface. A MIDI interface will allow you to record and playback
information from your MIDI compatible keyboards and sound modules, as
well as open up synchronization possibilities using MIDI sync (MTC or
MIDI clock).
