I have a pain if my head because of routing problems. I would appreciate much if You could help me.
So, I have Scope Project with two In\Out ADAT ports.
I have A16 ultra with two In\Out ADAT ports (and 2x8 Ins(A+B) and 2x8 Outs(A+B) of analog Jacks).
I have several synths - it connects via analog Jacks to In-A of A16 and A16 route this data (via optical cable) to ADAT-A input of Scope.
ADAT-A Output of Scope goues to ADAT-A input of A16 and then from Out-A via Jacks I connect monitors (2xJacks) and headphones (1xJack).
Summing up - I have 1 x In\Out ADAT-B free on both A16 and Scope card. (and I still have 5 Jack outs in Out-A of A16)
Now I have some external stuff - RFX-2000 (RFX) effect processor.
It has analog inputs and DIGITAL outputs (I mean optical out - ADAT).
It has analog outputs too but I really dont want to make a useless AD\DA conversions with noise adding.
So I connect 2xJacks of Out-A of A-16 to RFX Input and DIGITAL ADAT out of RFX goes to ... WHERE???
I have two options - to ADAT-B of A16 or ADAT-B of Scope Card.
Lets start with ADAT-B input of Scope (without A16 - directly to sound card).
I make External Effect S in SCOPE Routing Window and make the following routing in Effect Panel:
INPUT : 2x ADAT A Dest
OUTPUT : 2x ADAT B Source
Then I connect (for example) Wave Source to InL+R of External Effect S and OutL+R goes for example to IL2+3 (second channel) of STM1632. First channel of STM1632 is for Wave Source.
By the plan Second channel of STM1632 must show some sound with color metering when I play something in winamp or else. BUT IT DOESN'T! Why??
What am I doing wrong?
Please help.
P.S: There is ABSOLUTELY no problems with power of RFX or Zero volume and so on, because if I connect ANALOG out of RFX to Analog Ins of A16 (instead of 2x Jacks of any synth), and connect in External Effect S Panel:
INPUT : 2x ADAT A Dest
OUTPUT : 2x ADAT A!! Source
... then it works FINE - I see the metering on second channel and hear the effects (reverb,delay...)
Whats wrong with ADAT routing?
P.P.S: I tried to connect RFX to ADAT of A16 and A16 route to ADAT B of Scope - the same thing - I dont hear the sound of RFX.
By the way - I see the red stream light in optical cable connecting to RFX out - it works, it sends signal, but I cant catch it or routing is wrong...
I send any screenshots You need.
