Cascade settings
Use the
CASCADE
item to set the cascade function.
Using the cascade function, you can control two
DR-680 units simultaneously.
When you use the transport controls on the DR-680
unit that is set as the master, the operation of the unit
that is set as the slave is synchronized to it.
To connect two units for cascade operation, connect
the
DIGITAL OUT jack of the master unit to the
DIGITAL IN jack of the slave unit.
Master unit
Slave unit
NOTE
The cascade function only synchronizes the transport
controls. The input settings, internal mixer settings,
record functions, take and folder operations, for example,
are still controlled separately.
When using the cascade function, the digital output
jack of the MASTER and the digital input of the
SLAVE are used for the cascade function, so they
cannot be used for digital signal input and output.
Options:
OFF
(default value—cascade disabled),
MASTER
,
SLAVE
CAUTION
If the recording source for tracks 5/6 is set to DIGITAL, •
cascade connections will not function properly.
Before changing the connection setting from OFF
•
to MASTER or SLAVE, set the recording source for
tracks 5/6 to ANALOG. (See “Selecting the inputs for
recording to tracks 5 and 6” on page 28.)
