Default Re: How do I connect external effects to a Digi-002R via S/PDIF?

Thank you so much - it works! The last hurdle was that I had the input & output cables the wrong way round - I had the output of the 002R connected to the output of the PCM-91 (it seemed to make sense as they are both marked red...).

So if you have the cables going out of your 002 into the effects unit, and another going from the effects unit to the 002, you've got 2 channels both ways.

One thing to verify, in the Hardware setup menu, make sure Spidf is NOT selected as Optical.

Then, go into your I/O setup, and in each tab (input, output, inserts, busses), click "default". That should reset things in case they got messed up.

If you're trying to set it up as a send/return, do this:

Create a stereo Aux track. On the input of that track, select a pair of busses, such as buss 3-4, or 5-6, etc.

On that aux track, in the insert section, instead of selecting a plugin, you select I/O, and then select Spidf. This will now route signals to your effects unit and back again, just like it was a plugin.

And then, create sends on whatever tracks you want to send to that, routing the sends to whatever buss you chose (3-4, 5-6, etc.).
