Solved: MTRX II - Multiple Digilink cards, appear out of order in I/O setup

[asm]

Is anyone using multiple Digilink expansion cards in a MTRX II and could you confirm if you are experiencing this issue?

In Pro Tools I/O Setup, the interfaces appear in the following order:

Digilink Main - Port 1
Digilink Main - Port 2
Digilink Card 2 - Port 1
Digilink Card 2 - Port 2
Digilink Card 1 - Port 1
Digilink Card 1 - Port 2

In DADman, in the Digilink tab, Card 1 and Card 2 are both set to emulate "Digilink Card" on both ports. Changing those to "MTRX 32x32" has no effect.

"Digilink Card 1" is in slot 1 of the MTRX II, ""Digilink Card 2" is in slot 2.

My HDX 3 system is connected as follows:

HDX1 Port 1-2 to Main Port 1-2
HDX2 Port 1-2 to Digilink Card 1 Port 1-2
HDX3 Port 1-2 to Digilink Card 2 Port 1-2

Greetings,

When looking at the back of the MTRX II device card slots, are you justifying your cards on the far right?

Yes, Slot 1 is on the right side of the MTRX II when looking at the back

Also, the interfaces are not labelled with consecutive letters, which I do not think I have seen before in Pro Tools.

When selecting "default" in the Output paths tab for I/O Setup, this is the result:

A Main: 1-32
C Main: 33-64
E Card 2: 1-32
G Card 2: 1-32
I Card 1: 1-32
K Card 1: 33-64

No, I'm not seeing that behavior here on a Mac Studio on macOS 13.x with a Sonnet Echo III, HDX3, MTRX II:

But, yes, the card labels should be as shown in the grabs:
A (B)
C (D)
E (F)
G (H)
I (J)
K (L)

best,


Jeff

Doh! User error, of course. I confused the numbering of the digilink cables, which were out of order - not the cards.

Thanks, Jeff, for your quick response.

I am using the MTRX II via HDX and thunderbolt with a combination of Dante (to Eventide H9000), AES/EBU (various monitors and digital effects) and 64 analog I/O in DAD units connected via DADlink.

This is the most stable, efficient, excellent sounding as well as powerful/configurable/upgradeable system of I/O I have ever used with Pro Tools. Over the years I have used various incarnations of Apogee, Digidesign, Avid, Lavry, and Mytek converters.

Glad to hear it!
