Basic Operations: Chapter 4
ADAT XT Reference Manual 45
is similar to the audio you are recording. The longer crossfade time allows for a
smoother transition and is more useful when punching in new material that is very
different from what is already on tape, or when punching in low-frequency signals.
Crossfading always begins at the punch point and continues for the amount of time
you have specified.
To set the Crossfade Time:
¿ Press and hold the [SET LOCATE] button.
¡ While holding the [SET LOCATE] button, press the [RECORD] button. This will
advance Crossfade setting to its next value, in this case it is 21 ms. The TIME
counter will briefly read:
FA dE 2 1
¬ While still holding [SET LOCATE], each time you press [RECORD] will advance
the Crossfade setting to the next value.
Select either 11 ms, 21 ms, 32 ms and
43 ms. These time values assume a playback rate of 48kHz, and are therefore
not exact if the Pitch amount is changed, or an external clock source is used. If
the Clock is set to 44.1 kHz, the available crossfade times are actually 12 ms, 23
ms, 35 ms and 46 ms (although they will not be labeled this way). To select the
sample rate (48 kHz or 44.1 kHz), see previous section.
DISPLAYING FRAMES VS. 100THS/SECONDS
If you are using the XT with the BRC, you will notice that the BRC’s TIME display
uses the “hours:minutes:seconds:frames” format, while the XT normally uses the
“hours:minutes:seconds:100ths/second” format. This may cause some confusion
when locating to a specific position on the BRC, since the XT will show a slightly
different value when looking at the last two digits of the TIME counter. The XT will
locate to the same physical position that the BRC displays, it is simply displaying
100ths/second instead of frames.
It is possible, however, to switch the XT’s TIME display so that it counts in a 30 FPS
format, instead of 100ths/second. This is done by holding [SET LOCATE] and
pressing RECORD ENABLE [4]. Repeat this process to toggle back and forth
between these two modes. When set to “frames-per-second” mode, the TIME counter
will briefly read “d1SP FPS”. When switched back to “100ths-of-a-second” mode, the
TIME counter will briefly read “d1SP rEG”. This feature is designed for the sole
purpose of aligning the displays of the XT and the BRC. The selected mode also
affects how the Locate Points are displayed and edited on the XT.
