Though it‘s not perfect in relation to today‘s DAW standards, I really like the features and haptic of the BRC.
First and most important: you need a proper Adat Sync cable (and of course a Sync Plate)
Unfortunately some original Alesis cables are not compliant (I had one of those) as are 9pin PC cables, which is documented.
The cable itself is way more simple than expected: 4 twisted pairs, 1 ground line and shield, connection 1:1 on both sides.
A CAT5e ethernet cable (with cut off plugs) served well with shield as ground (pin 6).
The 4 pairs then were soldered to top pins 5 to 2 (solid color) with the respective „stripe“ color right below them.
Second: Scope must be set to slave in the Samplerate control panel, sync source External Adat (the bottom most item).
If Scope isn‘t slave, transport and location will not work, though communication seems established.
With that setting the former occasional on-off record enable flickers on the BRC track indicators vanished completely.
Then load a „tape“ and the unit is ready for action.
Yesterday all locator tests passed, including loops, punch in/out with pre/postroll and grouped loop recording.
Eventually the proof was done... just because it can be done ... LoL
cheers, Tom
