ADAT sync (sync plate vs A16 Ultra)

[scary808]

I’m wanting to introduce another ADAT device into my setup. Would I need the ADAT sync plate or could my A16 Ultra serve as the synchronization point for Scope? I don’t remember much about the way this all plays together.

Thanks!

jusrt make Scope master and sync all the ADAT devices through ADAT.

righty right, optical sync is all that's needed.
You only need the Sync-Plate for Wordclock-io and for serial Adat control connection (Alesis hardware like the BRC and their Adat recorders). The latter is pretty unreliable under Windoze, I never got it to work properly, which is a pity because the implementation is quite nice.

Great, thanks for clearing that up guys!
