Hello,

I am thinking of getting an M audio Octane to go with my Motu 828(mk 1) But as far as I can tell, the only connection that is going to match up is the adat light pipe connection. Which leads me to some questions...

How do I sync em up?

There is a 9 pin adat sync in...but would that actually be used for an actual adat?

Now the only way I can tell is with a word clock generator and it would go like this...

word clock generator - spidif out --->motu spidif in
word clock generator - word clock out---> octane in (terminate at the WC out?)
Then have the light pipe from the octane to the motu and be done with it.

I found this wc generator...Applied Research & Technology: Digital Interfaces

Will this work???
