Wordclock and Cascade Settings Fine Adjustment Of Overall Song Pitch (Vari-pitch) When the AW2400 is set to use it's own internal clock as the wordclock source it is possible to adjust the sampling frequency over a small range to adjust the pitch and tempo of song playback (Vari-pitch). This function can be useful to match the playback pitch of an AW2400 song to an acoustic instrument, or to adjust the length of a song. 1 Call the DIO screen Setting page by either pressing the Work Navigate section [DIO] key as many times as necessary, or by pressing the [F1] key after pressing the [DIO] key. 2 Move the cursor to the WORDCLOCK SOURCE field INT button and press the [ENTER] key. This selects the AW2400 internal clock as the wordclock source. 3 Move the cursor to the VARI field. Vari-pitch settings are made via the VARI field.

The Vari-pitch function will be turned off and the sampling frequency will be fixed at the value shown to the right of the FIX button. NOTE • When the Vari-pitch function is enabled and sampling frequency is adjusted, any external devices slaved to the AW2400 wordclock signal will be affected. Some slave devices may not be able to synchronize properly to the AW2400 wordclock signal when it is adjusted using the Varipitch function. Cascade-connecting External Devices Digital audio signals received at the AW2400 [DIGITAL STEREO IN] connector can be mixed directly into the AW2400's stereo bus (cascade connection). The output from a digital mixer could be cascade-connected in this way to allow the mixer's inputs to be mixed to stereo along with the AW2400's own inputs. ● AW2400 Cascade Connection AW2400 (Wordclock slave) Input channels Track channels Effect return channels Stereo bus External device (Wordclock master) Digital audio output [DIGITAL STEREO IN] connector Stereo output channel Stereo track [STEREO OUT] jack, etc. 1 Connect the digital output from the device to be cascade connected to the AW2400 [DIGITAL STEREO IN] connector. 2 Call the DIO screen Setting page by either pressing the Work Navigate section [DIO] key as many times as necessary, or by pressing the [F1] key after pressing the [DIO] key. 3 Move the cursor to the D.ST IN button in the WORDCLOCK SOURCE field and press the [ENTER] key.
