Hello all, just to sum it up:
How to use a Steinberg MR816csx/x as a slave device connected via ADAT to a master device.
In this scenario, a ‘master’ device is connected to the computer while the MR is used as a ‘slave’ stand-alone unit.
We will use ADAT / TOSLINK cables to send the signal from the stand-alone MR device to the master device.
– Install the latest TOOLS for the MR816csx/x MR816 CSX/X | Steinberg
– Connect your MR interface to the computer
– Open the MR Editor
– Configure the ADAT pairs to output the signal received from the respective MIC inputs:
- Click on ADAT 1-2
Pan MIC 1 and 2 hard left and hard right
Mute the other MIC channels
Proceed in the same fashion for all ADAT pairs and correspondent MIC inputs as per the colour code in the attached screen-shot (MR_Ed_ADAT.png).
Once set up, please close the MixDspFx, the current configuration will be saved.
– Now, please connect the master device to the computer
– Connect the ADAT / TOSLINK cables from ADAT OUT on the MR to the ADAT IN on the ‘master’ device
– You can either use the BNC-connector or ADAT for Wordclock synchronisation of the devices
You will need to create the proper VST Connections (F4 or Devices → VST Connections) in Cubase.
Create the desired amount of input tracks and assign them as needed, in the VST_conn.jpg attachment you can see an example with an MR816 connected via ADAT to a UR824.
I hope this is helpful.
