SPDIF Toslink converter

[ZSteveP]

Is there a converter that will take toslink SPDIF (L and R) down to a 1/8" stereo plug? Just wanting a way to take output from a stereo headphone jack into my Korg D12 digital inputs.

Thx,
Steve

There are so many things wrong with that idea, I don't know where to start. First you would need an analog to digital converter, and enough adapters to get the 1/8 plug to whatever the input of the converters is. There has to be a better way to do what you are doing. what is the 1/8 plug coming out of?

Maybe I should have explained better so you wouldn't think it was such a "wrong idea". I want to get a reference track off my MD to the D12. I will use the reference track to listen to while recording the other tracks and then it will be deleted. I've tried to go into the normal 1/4" inputs (trks 7-12) but the stereo input doesn't seem to work properly and I only get one side of the stereo field from the MD.

you need to get the stereo 1/8 to 2 1/4 mono splitter. You probably have a stereo to 2 stereo splitter. This is a very common mistake because the one I think you have is a more common adapter. (it is to hook 2 headphones with 1/4 plugs to a 1/8 headphone jack)
