Topic: optical output ?'s

[caymanreview]

so, i have my new firewire 410 up and running smooth

it has optical in/out on it

if i am running 24/96 to my laptop via firewire, im assuming that the optical out would be 24/96 also, so what would happen when say, trying to give a patch to a md/jb3? would they just truncate the extra data? or would they be able to patch at all out of my optical out?

Thanks
Dustin

probably have to patch analog out stylie

thats what i was thinking, but wasnt positive

im not sure how the 410 works, i can just change my sample rate from anything from 16/44.1 to 24/96 in my recording app, and not change anything on the actual unit, just wondering what everyone thought

 do you have a DAT or MD deck handy?

give it a spin

[caymanreview]

no dat or md for me, strictly laptop taping here

but i do have enough analog outs for every patcher in the place

i betcha it just truncates bits BADLY

thats what i was thinking bean, but wasnt sure, it would be best to give them an analog out
