Digital Input and Output
Fast Track C600 provides digital inputs and out-
puts for S/PDIF format digital audio. These in-
puts and outputs can be used in conjunction
with the four analog inputs and six analog out-
puts of Fast Track C600. This means the inter-
face is capable of handling 6 inputs and 8 out-
puts simultaneously.
Connecting Digital Devices
To connect a S/PDIF device to Fast Track C600:
1 Be sure to use 75-ohm coaxial cables with
male RCA connectors on both ends.
2 To send a digital signal into the Fast Track
C600, connect the device's S/PDIF output to the
Fast Track's S/PDIF input port. To send a digital
signal from the Fast Track C600 to an external
device, connect the Fast Track C600 S/PDIF out-
put to the device's S/PDIF input.
Using S/PDIF Input
To configure Fast Track C600 to record from a
S/PDIF device:
1 Open the Fast Track C600 Control Panel and
click the Setup button in the upper right section
of the window.
2 When the Setup dialog opens, select S/PDIF
from the Clock Source pop-up menu on the
General Setting page, and then click the Close
button in the lower right of the Setup window.
3 On the recording track in your software, select
the appropriate stereo or mono S/PDIF source
from the track Input selector.
It should now be possible to record incoming
S/PDIF signals with your audio application.
MIDI Connections
The two MIDI ports on Fast Track C600 let you
take advantage of MIDI features within your re-
cording application, including recording and
editing MIDI tracks.
To connect your MIDI device to Fast Track C600:
1 Connect a standard 5-pin MIDI cable from the
MIDI Out port of your device to the MIDI In
port on the back of Fast Track C600.
