Still trying to get systemlink to work. I got a connection now, but because of crackles and stuff it's unusable.

My question is: "What do I need to hook up 2 computers (1x pulsar1 and 1 x pulsar2) through adat?" What else but 2 toslink cables hooked up between the cards, is needed? Because hooking it up straight (pulsar1 <=> pulsar2) does not seem to work.

Am I trying the impossible? Do I need extra devices in my pulsar projects? Do I need an extra (hardware) device?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

apparently there should not be any problems.
just be sure to connect
ADAT IN (pulsar A) to ADAT OUT (pulsar B)
and
ADAT IN (pulsar B) to ADAT OUT (pulsar A)

be sure to set A as master and B as slave (or viceversa)
and load both ADAT module In and out in both systems.

That's exactly what I do, it liks correctly (Changig samplerate on 'master' pulsar also changes samplerate on 'slave' pulsar.) The links show up allright. I can hear the sound comming in normally, but (even with nothing playing at all) it's unusable since it crackles all the way. So the sound that plays stays OK, but there's a bad distortion on the line also :sad:

Would it make a difference if I use the other adat connection? (B instead of A)?

Thanks again!

Well i am glad to hear there are other pulsarians trying to get systemlink to work.
For me it works fine aslong that I use aiso instead of aiso 2 ,dont know why ,but it works without crackles anyway.

I have a RME 9652 connected via ADAT to my Pulsar and it works fine.
Since it is only one way communication from RME to Pulsar i must have the Pulsar as slave. Otherwise i get cracks too.

I have not been able to get my spdif in on the pulsar or the luna to work. It used to work in earlier versions of Pulsar software.
