Operating manual organization

The CBX-D5 is supplied with three manuals: this Operating Manual, the System Setup

Guide, and a Test Program manual.

This Operating Manual contains full details about the CBX-D5 Digital Recording

Processor: what it is, how it works, and how to use it. It also contains an index that will allow you to locate information quickly, and also a glossary of CBX-D5 terminology.

The System Setup Guide describes how to set up a recording system using the current supporting computers and music programs. From time to time this guide will be updated using single sheet supplements. Please see your Yamaha dealer for the latest supplement.

The Test Program manual should be used in conjunction with the Hardware Test Program

Disk for testing the CBX-D5 hardware.

Powering up a CBX-D5 System

Some computer systems are a little bit fussy about which devices are switched on first, especially when a SCSI daisy chain is introduced into the system. As a good rule of thumb, switch on all connected SCSI devices first, then the computer.

NOTE: While using your CBX-D5 computer music system, do not switch off or disconnect any device connected in the SCSI chain. Doing so will probably lead to a system crash and you could loose valuable data.

2 CBX-D5 Terminology

SCSI

Pronounced scuzzy, the Small Computer System Interface is a connection format used for connecting peripheral devices such as hard disks, printers, scanners, etc., to a computer.

Up to eight SCSI devices can be connected together in a daisy chain including the controlling computer. Each device is given its own identity number from 0 to 7, this is called the SCSI ID number.

The CBX-D5, a computer, and a hard disk are all connected as part of a SCSI daisy chain.

The SCSI connection carries audio data between the CBX-D5 and hard disk for recording and playback, and also control data from the computer to the CBX-D5. The controlling computer can also access the hard disk to perform basic sound file copy, delete, and backup type functions. With the necessary software, digital audio data could be transferred directly to the computer for on-screen waveform editing, etc.

The SCSI standard is quite a robust format, although, some care must be taken when connecting and setting up SCSI devices. For full details about connecting SCSI hard disk drives to the CBX-D5 see “Connecting Hard Disk Drives” on page 13.

Sound files

Just like other types of computer data, digital audio data is stored in files – sound files.

When recording starts, a sound file is created on the hard disk. This sound file can be given a name, copied, and deleted just like any other computer file.

AES/EBU format

AES/EBU is a digital interface format established by the AES (Audio Engineering

Society) and EBU (European Broadcasting Union). It is used to transfer digital audio data between professional digital audio equipment. Usually, two channels of digital audio (left

& right) are carried in one XLR type connection.

Although similar to the CD/DAT format, it is primarily intended for professional usage.

AES/EBU format connections can be found on most professional digital audio equipment including hard disk recorders, digital mixers, professional DAT recorders, and many digital VTRs.

CD/DAT format

Similar to the professional AES/EBU format, CD/DAT, or S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital

Interface Format) as it is otherwise known, is a digital interface format that is used to transfer digital audio data between consumer type digital audio equipment such as CD players, consumer DAT recorders, and the new DCC recorders.

Like the AES/EBU format, two channels of digital audio (left & right) are carried in one connection, usually a phono/RCA jack type connection. Some MIDI samplers are fitted with a CD/DAT connection so that sample data can be transferred directly to a DAT recorder for storage.

Y2 format

Y2 Yamaha format is a digital interface format developed by Yamaha that is used to transfer digital audio data between Yamaha’s professional digital audio equipment. Two channels of digital audio (left & right) are carried in one connection, usually an 8-pin DIN type connection.

Yamaha’s professional digital audio products usually include the AES/EBU and CD/DAT type formats as well as Y2, and the Y2 format can also be found on some other manufacturers’ digital audio products. Yamaha’s professional digital audio products that use Y2 include the DMR8 Digital Mixer/Recorder, DMC1000 Digital Mixing Console,

DRU8 Digital Recorder, and the DMP series of Digital Mixers.

Sampling frequency (REC FREQ)

During the analog to digital conversion process, the level of the analog audio signal is sampled (measured) many times per second. Each of these sample measurements is then stored as a 16-bit binary value. For digital to analog conversion (playback), these 16-bit binary values are used to reconstruct the analog audio signal. The rate at which these sample measurements take place is called the sampling frequency and you may already know that the sampling frequency used by CD players is 44.1kHz.

The CBX-D5 can record audio using any one of four sampling frequencies: 48kHz,

44.1kHz, 32kHz, and 22.05kHz. The audio quality (bandwidth) of a digital system is directly affected by the sampling frequency. Essentially, the audio bandwidth will be roughly half the chosen sampling frequency. See “Sampling frequency (REC FREQ)” on page 20 for more details.

Word clock

When a number of digital audio devices are connected together and data is digitally transferred between them, it is essential that the data processing circuits of all devices are synchronized. To achieve this, one device operates as a word clock master and all other devices operate as word clock slaves. The frequency of the word clock corresponds directly to the digital audio data’s sampling frequency.

If you only connect two digital audio devices, say the CBX-D5 to a DAT recorder, word clock setup is quite straight forward and no word clock connections will be required.

However, when three devices are connected, serious thought will need to be given as to which device is word clock master and how to make the word clock connections. See

“WORD CLK IN/OUT” on page 28 for more details.

NOTE: Word clock signals should not be confused with other synchronizing signals such as SMPTE timecode and MTC (MIDI Timecode). Although both may be used in a digital audio system, word clocks are for synchronizing digital audio data processing circuits such as CPUs, D/A, A/D converters, etc., while

SMPTE and MTC timecodes are for synchronizing audio and video tape machines, MIDI sequencers, etc., relative to time – hours, minutes, seconds, and frames.

To Host

An 8-pin mini DIN connector that allows direct connection to a computer that is running

CBX-D5 supporting software. This can be used when your computer does not have a

MIDI interface, i.e. MIDI input and output connections. See “TO HOST connection” on page 30 for more details.

NOTE: Not all CBX-D5 supporting music software can use this type of connection, so please consult your Yamaha dealer before making a purchase.

3 What is the CBX-D5?

The CBX-D5 is a Digital Recording Processor that, when connected to a controlling computer with supporting software and an external hard disk, provides up to four channels of CD quality audio recording, processing, and playback.

Computer based

The CBX-D5 is controlled by a computer that is running CBX-D5 supporting software.

All audio data processing takes place inside the CBX-D5, so there is very little demand on the controlling computer. For this reason the CBX-D5 can be used with some of the less powerful, less expensive computers such as the Apple Macintosh SE/30, Classic II, and

LC; and the Atari ST/STE. It also leaves the computer free to get on with other jobs such as processing MIDI sequence data and screen updates.

The CBX-D5, computer, and hard disk are all connected as part of a SCSI daisy chain. The

SCSI connection carries audio data between the CBX-D5 and hard disk for recording and playback, and also control data from the computer to the CBX-D5. A MIDI connection between the CBX-D5 and computer carries continuous controller information for real-time volume, EQ, and pan control of the CBX-D5’s digital mixer.

Four-channel system

The CBX-D5 is a 4-channel system, i.e., 2-channel simultaneous recording and

4-channel playback. Channels can be recorded while other channels playback.

The CBX-D5 needs about 100Mbytes of hard disk space to record 10 minutes of stereo digital audio (fs = 44.1kHz). The available recording time can be increased by simply adding more, or larger hard disk drives to the SCSI daisy chain.

CD quality & editing

The CBX-D5 records audio data at a 16-bit resolution, and with 44.1kHz and 48kHz sampling frequencies it provides all the sound quality benefits of the Compact Disc format such as faithful reproduction, low noise, minimal distortion, etc.

Analog input and output signals are processed by 16-bit linear

∆ Σ

modulation A/D and

18-bit 8-times oversampling D/A converters. Analog connections use balanced XLR type connectors. Digital I/O consists of AES/EBU, CD/DAT, and Y2. Allowing digital audio data transfer between the CBX-D5 and other digital audio equipment.

As well as the A/D, D/A converters, the CBX-D5 also contains a 4-input, 4-bus, 2-send digital mixer; a DSP for digital effects; DEQ for real-time EQ control; and sampling frequency converters that allow recording and playback at differing sampling frequencies.

As well as the sound quality, two other benefits of recording with a CBX-D5 system as opposed to analog tape are, the ability to nondestructively edit recordings and being able to move audio data relative to time, a feature often referred to as audio time slip.

For a listing of some other CBX-D5 features, see “CBX-D5 features” on page 1.

The future

The CBX-D5 is a software dependent device, so with future supporting software it may be possible to use the CBX-D5 for digital mixing with digital EQ and effects, sampling,

2-track mastering, waveform editing, and multimedia type applications.

SOURCE indicators

Indicates the input selected for recording: AES/EBU, Y2, CD/DAT, or ANALOG. The source input selection is made by the controlling software.

3

REC FREQ indicators

Indicates the selected sampling frequency for recording: 48kHz, 44.1kHz, 32kHz, and

22.05kHz (analog inputs only). The sampling frequency selection is made by the controlling software.

4

PB FREQ indicators

Indicates the sampling frequency of the digital audio data that is being output by the

CBX-D5: 48kHz, or 44.1kHz. The playback sampling frequency setting is made by the controlling software.

When the CBX-D5 is used with an external word clock, the digital outputs will operate at the same frequency as the external word clock and that frequency will not be indicated by the “PB FREQ” indicators.

5

INPUT LEVEL meters

Two 12-segment LED bargraphs indicate the level of the incoming digital audio when the input source is set to AES/EBU, CD/DAT, or Y2 (not affected by the level controls), or the level of the analog input signals when the input source is set to ANALOG (controlled by the “ANALOG IN” level controls).

NOTE: Unlike peak meters on analog equipment that light up approximately 3 ~ 6dB before signal clipping, CLIP LEDs on digital equipment light up when the signal has actually clipped. Digital audio signal clipping normally produces unpleasant distortion, pops, and clicks, so care must be taken when setting the recording level for analog input signals. See “Recording” on page 20 for more details.

6

OUTPUT LEVEL meters

Four 12-segment LED bargraphs that indicate the output level of channels 1 ~ 4. The

“CLIP” LED indicates an output level of +17dBm.

NOTE: Just like the input level meters, lighting an output level meter’s “CLIP” LED should be avoided to prevent signal distortion. This situation may occur when two or more CBX-D5 audio channels are mixed, or if excessive EQ is applied. The CBX-D5 does not have any output level controls, the output level is set by the controlling software.

7 ANALOG IN LEVEL control

Independent level controls for analog input channels 1 and 2. As well as independent level control, these controls can also be used to balance the left and right channels of a stereo source connected to the analog inputs.

NOTE: These controls have no effect on the AES/EBU, CD/DAT, and Y2 digital inputs and outputs.

8 PHONES VOL

Four male XLR 3-32 type connectors used for outputting channels 1 ~ 4 as analog audio signals. These are balanced outputs with a nominal output level of 0dBm and a maximum output level of +17dBm. These could be connected to the inputs of a mixer, amplifier, tape recorder, or DAT recorder.

3 AES/EBU IN 1/2

A female XLR 3-31 type connector for inputting AES/EBU format digital audio. Only one input connection is required for channels 1 and 2 because the AES/EBU format carries two signals in one connection. These could be used when recording digital audio data from professional digital audio equipment such as another hard disk recorder, a digital mixer, digital recorder, or digital VTR.

AES/EBU OUT 1/2 & 3/4

Two male XLR 3-32 type connectors for outputting AES/EBU format digital audio.

Channels 1 and 2 are output via “OUT 1/2”, and channels 3 and 4 via “OUT 3/4”. These could be used to transfer digital audio data from the CBX-D5 to professional digital audio equipment.

5

CD/DAT IN 1/2

A Phono/RCA jack for inputting CD/DAT format digital audio. Channels 1 and 2 are carried in the same connection. This connection could be connected to the digital output of a CD player or DAT recorder and allows digital audio recording without multiple D/A,

A/D audio data conversions. Some MIDI samplers are fitted with this type of connection.

In this case your sound samples could be recorded directly to your CBX-D5 system.

6

CD/DAT OUT 1/2

A Phono/RCA jack for outputting CD/DAT format digital audio. Channels 1 and 2 are carried in the same connection. This could be connected to the digital input of a DAT recorder or DCC recorder, and allows digital audio recording without multiple D/A, A/D audio data conversions.

NOTE: It is widely known that the weakest links in a digital audio system are the A/D and D/A converters. For once the audio has been converted into a digital form, it is immune from all the problems usually associated with analog equipment such as distortions and noise. Although the effects of multiple conversions will be hard to spot, even for the best trained ears, it makes sense that once converted, we try and keep the audio in a digital form by using these digital I/O connections wherever possible.

7 Y2 IN 1/2

An 8-pin DIN socket for inputting Y2 Yamaha format digital audio. As with the AES/EBU and CD/DAT formats, two audio channels are carried in the same connection. This could be connected to one of Yamaha’s digital audio products such as a DMR8 Digital

Mixer/Recorder, DMC1000 Digital Mixing Console, DRU8 Digital Recorder, SPX1000

Effect Processor, or the DMP series of Digital Mixers.

8

Y2 OUT 1/2

An 8-pin DIN socket for outputting Y2 Yamaha format digital audio. This could be used to transfer digital audio data from the CBX-D5 to one of the Yamaha professional digital audio products listed above. You might not own one of these products yourself, but you may need to transfer some of your audio data to a recording studio that does.

9

WORD CLK IN/OUT

Two BNC type connectors for inputting and outputting word clock signals. A common word clock signal is used to synchronize data processing circuits when a number of digital audio devices are connected together. For a full description of how and when to use these connections, see “WORD CLK IN/OUT” on page 28.

MIDI IN

The CBX-D5 receives MIDI control data from the computer via this connection. To prevent the CBX-D5’s control data being delayed by other MIDI devices, the CBX-D5 should be the first device connected to your computer. Other MIDI devices should then be connected to the CBX-D5’s MIDI THRU connection.

If your computer’s MIDI interface has two or three MIDI outputs, dedicate one for use with the CBX-D5.

NOTE: Although not usually a problem on a small MIDI system, when more than three MIDI devices are daisy chained together using MIDI IN and THRU connections, MIDI data can sometimes be delayed, especially if you transmit a lot of continuous controller data such as pitch bend or modulation wheel. If

MIDI delays do become a problem, use a MIDI THRU Box to distribute the

MIDI signal to each MIDI device.

A

MIDI OUT

When the CBX-D5 is being used as a MIDI interface, that is, a direct connection to a computer via the To Host connection, MIDI data from the computer is output to other

MIDI devices from this connection. Also used for MIDI bulk dump.

NOTE: The operation of the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT connections varies depending on the position of the CBX-D5’s Host select switch. See “TO HOST connection” on page 30 for full details.

B

MIDI THRU

MIDI data appearing at the MIDI IN connection is buffered, then output from this connection. In other words, all MIDI data appearing at the MIDI IN connector is output to the MIDI THRU connector unaffected by the CBX-D5.

C TO HOST connector

An 8-pin mini DIN connector that allows direct connection to a computer that is running

CBX-D5 supporting software. This can be used when your computer does not have a

MIDI interface, i.e., MIDI input and output connections. See “TO HOST connection” on page 30 for more details.

D

TO HOST select switch

This switch setting depends on the type of computer connected to the “TO HOST” connector. See “TO HOST connection” on page 30 for full details.

E

SCSI connectors

Two 50-way Amphenol type connectors used to connect the CBX-D5 into the SCSI daisy chain.

F

SCSI ID selector

A thumb wheel type switch used to set the SCSI ID number of the CBX-D5. See “SCSI

ID setting” on page 16 for more details.

G

Power inlet

A 3-pin power inlet socket. Connect the supplied power cable to this socket, then plug the other end of the cable into an AC receptacle of the correct type.

5 Connecting Hard Disk Drives

Before connecting a hard disk drive, read through this chapter to familiarize yourself with

SCSI and how a SCSI daisy chain should be setup.

What type of hard disk?

If you don’t already have a hard disk or are thinking of buying a larger one, see the supplied card for a listing of recommended disk drives.

Hard disk size

The following table shows approximate available recording times for various sizes of hard disk. Available recording times are shown for all of the CBX-D5’s sampling frequencies, and as you can see, with a higher sampling frequency – less time is available. This is because using a high sampling frequency produces much more digital data, which means a bigger sound file. See “Sampling frequency (REC FREQ)” on page 20 for more details about selecting a sampling frequency.

Although it is doubtful that you will ever buy a hard disk smaller than 40MB for use with the CBX-D5, the values below 40MB will be useful for checking the remaining record time that is available on a hard disk that already contains some sound files.

14 14 Chapter 5 : Connecting Hard Disk Drives

Choosing a hard disk

If you plan to buy a hard disk that is not listed on the supplied card, the following specifications should be checked first.

Specification

Is it compatible with your computer?

Does it have two SCSI connectors?

Are the SCSI connectors 25-pin

D-SUB, or 50-way Amphenol?

Are the SCSI cables supplied?

Can the SCSI ID be set from 0 ~ 7? (for

Macintosh you only need 0 ~ 6)

Does it have internal or external termination?

Access Time?

Data Transfer Rate?

Check Notes

Maybe it is advertised as compatible, or your dealer recommends it.

You need two to continue the SCSI daisy chain.

Macintosh computers are fitted with a 25-pin

D-SUB connector, while most other SCSI devices have a 50-way Amphenol connector.

If not, you will need to purchase them separately.

If not, it might clash with another device’s ID, in which case you may have to rearrange the ID numbers of some other SCSI devices in the chain.

External terminators are normally connected to the rear of the SCSI device. If the device has an internal terminator, make sure it can be switched off so that any device can be positioned at the end of the SCSI daisy chain.

Measured in milliseconds, this is an indication of how fast data from different areas of the disk can be retrieved. The maximum we recommend is

30ms. An access time slower than this may affect the performance of the CBX-D5.

Usually measured in Megabits per second

(Mbit/s), this shows how fast data can be written to and read from the hard disk. The minimum we recommend is 16Mbits/s. A transfer rate less than this may affect the performance of the CBX-D5.

SCSI

For an general introduction to SCSI, see “SCSI” on page 3.

Setting up a SCSI daisy chain requires a little more than just making connections. SCSI devices require ID numbers and the daisy chain must be terminated correctly. These are explained in the following three sections, “SCSI cables”, “SCSI ID setting”, and “SCSI termination”.

When using a SCSI daisy chain, the following points should be borne in mind.

• Allocate each device its own SCSI ID number.

• Terminate the SCSI bus correctly.

• Use quality cables and keep the length down.

• Use the little wire clips (or screws) on a SCSI connector to fasten the cable plugs securely.

• All devices connected in the daisy chain must be switched on to use the system.

• Never switch off, or disconnect a device once the system has been switched on.

NOTE: Switch off all your equipment before making any SCSI connections.

SCSI cables 15 15

SCSI cables

Most SCSI devices are supplied with a SCSI cable, but if you need to buy one, make sure that it is designed for SCSI usage and that the connecters on either end of the cable are correct for your application.

Cable length is an important issue, but it’s not the length of each individual SCSI cable, it’s the total length of the SCSI daisy chain that must not exceed 6m (20ft).

Computer connection

Apple Macintosh

Apple Macintosh computers use a 25-pin D-SUB connector for the SCSI port, so use a

25-pin D-SUB to 50-way Amphenol type SCSI cable, usually supplied with an external

Macintosh hard disk drive.

Atari ST/STE

For Atari ST/STE computers, a Steinberg SCSI adaptor is required. This should be connected to the Atari ST/STE’s “HARD DISK” port (DMA) using a 19-pin DSUB to

19-pin DSUB cable. An external hard disk drive can then be connected to the SCSI adaptor’s SCSI connector using a 50-way to 25-pin SCSI cable.

NOTE: Some Atari ST/STE hard disk drives already contain a SCSI adaptor, however, they cannot be used as a substitute for the Steinberg adaptor.

Although it is possible to use just one external hard disk, it is highly recommended, for the sake of data integrity, that you use at least two external hard disks: one disk for your computer software and data such as Cubase Audio, MIDI song files, etc., and the other disk purely for recording CBX-D5 sound files.

Atari TT

The Atari TT has a SCSI connection built-in, so a SCSI hard disk drive can be connected directly.

Atari TT computers are fitted with an internal hard disk as standard. The internal disk should be used for your computer software and data such as Cubase Audio, MIDI song files, etc., and an external hard disk should be used purely for recording CBX-D5 sound files. An external hard disk must be used with an Atari TT, because it supplies the termination power that is required by the SCSI bus.

IBM PC/AT compatible

For an IBM PC/AT compatible computer, a SCSI adaptor card is required. This should be installed into one of the computer’s internal expansion slots.

16 16 Chapter 5 : Connecting Hard Disk Drives

SCSI ID setting

The SCSI bus is a parallel type connection, and data on the bus is available to all devices.

However, communication will usually be between two devices only, so each device is allocated an ID number, like an address number. In this way, only the device with the ID number that is specified in the data will actually read and respond to the data.

If two devices share the same ID number, the system will probably crash, so make sure that each device has its own ID number. SCSI devices usually have a DIP switch or, like the

CBX-D5, a thumb wheel switch for ID setting. Refer to the instructions supplied with your particular SCSI device.

SCSI termination 17 17

SCSI termination

Unlike audio signals, digital signals only have two values: high and low (+5V and 0V).

When no data is being transmitted, it is important that SCSI bus lines are kept in the high state (+5V), so that when data is transmitted there is a clear distinction between high and low pulses and the data is transferred without error. To achieve this, a device known as a

SCSI terminator is connected in the SCSI daisy chain. A terminator is usually fitted to the last device in the chain.

NOTE: If the SCSI daisy chain is not terminated correctly, numerous problems including data corruption, system crashes, and intermittent glitches can occur. If you have just set up your SCSI daisy chain or have added a new

SCSI device to it and it is not working as it should, check that the SCSI daisy chain is terminated correctly. If the problem persists, try connecting the SCSI devices in a different order.

18 18 Chapter 6 : Working with Hard Disks

6 Working with Hard Disks

After connecting your hard disk, setting the SCSI ID, and installing the SCSI terminator, you will need to format the hard disk before it can be used. If you have already powered up your system you will notice that there isn’t a disk icon representing the new disk drive on the desktop. This is because your computer could not mount the hard disk during boot-up, due to it not being formatted.

Formatting

Most SCSI hard disks are supplied with their own disk formatting software, so please refer to the hard disk’s Manual, and format the disk as specified.

Before disk formatting begins you will probably be asked to supply the SCSI ID of the hard disk and maybe the required interleave value. The SCSI ID will be the number that you set on that hard disk using its SCSI ID DIP switch or thumb wheel switch. If you have to specify an interleave value, check the hard disk’s Manual. Also see the “Adding SCSI disk drives” section of your computer manual.

When the disk has been formatted correctly and any supplied hard disk driver software has been installed, a disk icon should appear on your computer’s desktop.

Sound file management

By double clicking on the disk’s icon you will be able to access sound files stored on the disk. Sound files can be copied, deleted, size checked, etc., using the same menu commands that you would use for your other computer files.

Sound file backup

Because the CBX-D5’s sound files can be managed just like your other computer files, sound files can be backed up in much the same way using data compression and backup utilities. However, due to the relatively large size of sound files, floppy disks are not the most effective backup media. Removable hard disks and magneto optical disks are well suited to this task and commonly available sizes include 44MB, 88MB, 128MB, and

650MB.

Another backup option is to digitally transfer your sound files to a DAT recorder. Then, if you want them again in the future, just record them back to the CBX-D5.

Computer utilities

There are many computer utilities and desk accessories available for managing files and hard disks such as a “file squashers”, “auto savers”, “hard disk size doublers”, etc. If you choose to use a utility to work along side the CBX-D5, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN

RISK and no responsibility can be claimed for lost data, system crashes, and hardware damage.

The CBX-D5 is designed to work with the software described in the System Setup Guide, why risk losing your valuable audio data by using a “super disk space doubler”, or

“real-time data compressor”?

Hard disk fragmentation 19 19

Hard disk fragmentation

Hard disks record data into pre-formatted concentric tracks on a number of magnetic disks that are mounted around a common spindle. Tracks are further divided into sectors, and each sector can store 512bytes of data. On a newly formatted disk, files are recorded into a continuous series of sectors as shown below.

TRACK

SECTORS

10

SECTORS

8

SECTORS

FILE 1 FILE 2 FILE 3

SECTOR

As files are deleted and new files saved, files may be split (fragmented) over different areas of the disk, losing the continuity of sectors. In this case, reading one file may cause the disk drive to read sectors from many different parts of the disk, thus slowing down the overall data read rate and making the disk drive work harder.

Space previously occupied by file 2

FILE 1 FILE 4 FILE 5a FILE 3

FILE 5 has been split – fragmented.

FILE 5b

Disk defragmentation is quite important for hard disk audio recording, as it is better to record data into a continuous series of empty hard disk sectors. If recording starts in an empty sector, but then subsequent sectors in the series are used by another file, because there is so much data being recorded, the disk drive does not have time to find, then move to another area on the disk, so recording may stop.

This is not a problem with a completely empty disk, but if a sound file is deleted, the next recording might start in the deleted space, and recording might stop because there is not enough continuous empty sectors available. This will be more noticeable on a smaller hard disk where you have to keep deleting unwanted sound files to make way for new recordings.

The answer is to use a good hard disk defragmentation utility when a sound file has been deleted. By defragmenting the disk, all sound files will be moved up to the front end of the disk, leaving the available disk space as a series of continuous sectors at the end of the disk.

Hard disk partitioning

Because the CBX-D5 can read and write to any hard disk drive connected in the SCSI chain, it is able to use individual partitions of a hard disk drive that has been partitioned.

However, the CBX-D5 cannot record across hard disks or partitions, so the available recording time will be limited to the size of the partition.

NOTE: The time available for all recordings is not limited by the size of a hard disk partition, it is the time available for one continuous recording, or one take that is limited.

20 20 Chapter 7 : Recording

7 Recording

Sampling frequency (REC FREQ)

The CBX-D5 can record at any one of four sampling frequencies: 48kHz, 44.1kHz, 32kHz

(as specified by the AES), or 22.05kHz (analog input only). These sampling frequencies are commonly used for digital audio, and each has its own specific applications.

The sampling frequency is set by the controlling software and the CBX-D5’s front panel

REC FREQ indicators show the selected frequency. The selected REC FREQ also determines the clock rate for all internal processing, i.e., DSP, digital mixer, DEQ, etc., except for the output Fs converters, whose clock rate is determined by the PB FREQ.

NOTE: When using the digital inputs, you should set the CBX-D5’s REC FREQ to match the digital input signal’s sampling frequency. It is not essential, but we recommend it.

48kHz

At 48kHz an audio bandwidth of about 22kHz is possible. Consumer DAT and DCC recorders can record at 48kHz only. Professional equipment also supports this frequency.

44.1kHz

With this sampling frequency an audio bandwidth of about 20kHz is possible. This frequency is used for all prerecorded CDs, DATs (if there are any), and DCC cassettes.

Although a higher audio bandwidth is possible using 48kHz, 44.1kHz is considered to be good enough for most applications, and most professional digital audio engineers use this sampling frequency.

32kHz

At this sampling frequency an audio bandwidth of about 15kHz is possible. This frequency is widely used for broadcast applications where a 15kHz audio bandwidth, roughly that of

FM radio, is acceptable. Many DSB (Direct Satellite Broadcasting) transmissions use this frequency, although, some may also use 48kHz.

22.05kHz

At this frequency an audio bandwidth of about 10kHz is available. This frequency is widely used in multimedia applications. It might not seem very useful for your audio applications, but if you are limited by hard disk space or the audio material you are recording already has a limited bandwidth it may be useful.

Which sampling frequency?

Since the CBX-D5 contains a sampling frequency converter, digital audio can be output at a different sampling frequency to that which was used during recording. However, playing back a sound file at a higher sampling frequency will not improve the audio quality, as the audio frequency bandwidth of a sound file is determined by the record sampling frequency, not the playback frequency.

This leaves you with two deciding factors for choosing a sampling frequency. Firstly, what audio bandwidth (audio quality) do you want to use, and secondly, how much free disk space is available? See “Hard disk size” on page 13 for a listing of recording times that are available at each sampling frequency for a given size of hard disk (free disk space).

Varispeed

With some tape based digital recorders it is possible to vary the speed of playback and recording. When varispeed is used the sampling frequency of the digital audio is changed.

Since the CBX-D5 can playback digital audio at a sampling frequency different to that used for recording, varispeed digital audio can be recorded.

Digital input levels 21 21

Digital input levels

Digital input signals entering the CBX-D5 cannot be level adjusted. This is the same for most digital audio equipment, the idea being that once the level has been set during the original A/D conversion it should not need readjustment. It also simplifies the interfacing of digital audio signals between equipment.

The level of the audio signal output via the CBX-D5’s digital outputs, however, can be level adjusted, and this is set by the controlling software.

Setting the analog input level

The recording level for analog input signals can be set using the CBX-D5’s ANALOG IN

LEVEL controls. These controls allows independent level setting for channels 1 and 2 and they can also be used to balance the left and right channels of a stereo source connected to the analog inputs. The maximum analog input level is +22dBm.

These controls should be used in conjunction with the input level meters, which are described below.

Input level meters

Unlike analog tape recorders, digital audio recorders are very unforgiving when it comes to excessive signal levels. Digital audio signal clipping normally produces unpleasant distortion, pops, and clicks, and unless you have some very sophisticated editing equipment it is impossible to remove it after the event. So great care must be taken when setting the recording level.

With a digital audio recorder such as the CBX-D5, noise and hiss produced by setting the recording level too low is not a problem. However, setting the recording level too low will reduce the effective dynamic range of the recording and with a dynamic range of 96dB

* available it makes sense to use as much of it as possible.

Basically, the recording level should set so that the loudest signals light the –3, –6, –9

LEDs, but never light the CLIP LEDs. When recording with microphones, where sudden signal increases are possible, it may be worth having a “dry run” before you hit the record button. A compressor is a useful tool when recording vocals and acoustic instruments.

Headphone monitoring

During recording and playback, the four audio channels can be monitored using a pair of stereo headphones. Headphones should be connected to the PHONES jack on the front panel. The volume can be adjusted using the PHONES VOLUME control.

As you can see from the diagram below, channels 1 and 3 appear in the left speaker and channels 2 and 4 in the right speaker.

22 22 Chapter 7 : Recording

Digital audio data containing SCMS

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) is a protection system designed to stop illegal digital copying of audio material. When a SCMS DAT recorder (most consumer DAT recorders) receives a digital input signal with the copy protect flag set to “protect”, it cannot enter record mode, making digital tape duplication impossible.

NOTE: SCMS does not affect recordings made using analog connections, and it is only second generation digital copying (copy of a copy) that is prohibited.

If a digital signal that contains SCMS is input to the CBX-D5 it will not prevent the

CBX-D5 from recording. The digital audio will be recorded in a sound file without SCMS.

When digital audio data containing SCMS is input into the CBX-D5, and the output format

(set from the host computer) is set to Professional, output from the digital output jacks may be muted. When the output format is set to Consumer however, the digital and analog outputs will be unaffected.

It is possible to record a copyrighted musical composition, edit it and replay it with the

CBX-D5. However, the user will be held responsible for its use.

Digital audio data with emphasis

For some recordings, emphasis is applied to a digital audio signal. During playback, this emphasis is automatically detected by the replay device and de-emphasis applied. You may have seen the word EMPHASIS appear on a CD player or DAT recorder when a prerecorded disc or tape with emphasis was played back.

The CBX-D5 has no emphasis functions, so if a digital signal that has been emphasized is input to the CBX-D5 it will not automatically be de-emphasized and the CBX-D5 will record the signal with the emphasis. During playback, a slight boosting of frequencies above 3.5kHz will be noticeable.

20-bit digital audio

Some CD players are now 20-bit and there is a small but growing selection of 20-bit CD recordings available. Some 20-bit recorders are already being used for professional applications including Yamaha’s DMR8 and DRU8 recorders, which have always offered

20-bit recording.

If a 20-bit digital signal is input to the CBX-D5, it will be converted to a 16-bit signal before recording. For the technically minded, 4-bits, starting from the LSB (Least

Significant Bit) will be chopped off.

Playback 23 23

8 Playback

Playback frequency (PB FREQ)

During playback, sound files are read from disk, processed in the CBX-D5, then output.

The CBX-D5 can read sound files that were recorded at sampling frequencies between

11.025kHz and 48kHz. Once inside the CBX-D5, the data is processed at the currently set

REC FREQ. Then it is output to the digital outputs at a rate determined by the PB FREQ, and to the analog outputs after analog to digital conversion.

The CBX-D5 can output digital audio at one of two sampling frequencies: 44.1kHz and

48kHz. The playback frequency is set by the controlling software and the CBX-D5’s PB

FREQ indicators show the selection.

NOTE: When the CBX-D5 is used with an external word clock, the digital outputs will operate at the same frequency as the external word clock and that frequency will not be indicated by the “PB FREQ” indicators.

The choice of playback frequency will usually be determined by the sampling frequency of the device to which the digital audio is being sent, i.e., a DAT recorder, DCC recorder, digital mixer, etc. There is nothing to be gained by playing a 44.1kHz recorded sound file at 48kHz, and little to be lost by playing a 48kHz recorded sound file at 44.1kHz.

Output level meters

The four output level meters show the output level of each channel. The output level of each channel can be controlled by the controlling software. The maximum output level is

+18dBm. So an analog output signal of about +18dBm will light the CLIP LED.

Sound file playback compatibility

As well as its own sound files, the CBX-D5 can also playback the following sound file formats. These sound file formats are often used with the Apple Macintosh computer.

Sound Designer

Sound Designer II (mono and stereo)

Audio IFF (Interchange File Format)

The CBX-D5 can record and playback mono and stereo 2-channel interleave files.

4-channel interleave files can be played back only.

Converting the Sampling Frequency & Digital Audio Format in Real Time 25 25

9 Converting the Sampling Frequency & Digital

Audio Format in Real Time

When transferring digital audio data between equipment, it is sometimes necessary to convert from one digital audio format to another, say from CD/DAT to AES/EBU, or Y2 to CD/DAT. The CBX-D5 allows you to convert the digital audio format between

CD/DAT, AES/EBU, and Y2 in real time.

Real time means that you don’t actually have to record the digital audio, you just input it to the CBX-D5, the CBX-D5 converts it, then outputs it for record monitoring.

As well as the digital audio format, the CBX-D5 also allows you to convert from one sampling frequency to another, say from 44.1kHz to 48kHz or vice versa. Sampling frequency conversion is useful if you have some DAT tapes, maybe masters, recorded at

48kHz and you want to transfer them directly to a CD disc recorder that will only accept digital audio data at 44.1kHz.

Digital input and output source, record and playback sampling frequency settings are all made via the controlling software, so you will need to refer to your Software Manuals. The diagram below shows the conversion possibilities.

In the system shown below, 48kHz data from DAT recorder No. 1 is fed to the CBX-D5 using the CD/DAT connections. The CBX-D5 converts the sampling frequency to

44.1kHz, then outputs the data to DAT recorder No. 2 via the AES/EBU connections.

ANALOG IN

A pair of female XLR 3-31 type connectors used for inputting analog audio signals. These are balanced inputs with a nominal input level of +4dBm and a maximum input level of

+22dBm. These inputs are intended for use with balanced line level signals, i.e., from a mixer, synthesizer, drum machine, etc. Microphones, guitars, and equipment with an output level less than –20dBm must first be connected to a preamplifier, then to the

CBX-D5.

Four male XLR 3-32 type connectors used for outputting channels 1 ~ 4 as analog audio.

These are balanced outputs with a nominal output level of 0dBm and a maximum output level of +17dBm. These could be connected to the inputs of a mixer, amplifier, tape recorder, DAT recorder, etc.

Cable wiring is the same as the “XLR to XLR cable” shown above. Connection to unbalanced inputs is also possible by using an XLR to phone jack cable like the one shown above. Note, however, that a 3-pin female XLR line socket would be used, not a 3-pin male

XLR plug as shown in the illustration.

NOTE: You may buy your XLR connecting cables or you may decide to make your own, either way always use good quality connectors and cable.

AES/EBU IN 1/2 27 27

AES/EBU IN 1/2

A female XLR 3-31 type connector for inputting AES/EBU format digital audio. This is a balanced type connection and two channels, 1 and 2, are carried in the same connection.

This connection could be used when recording digital audio data from another hard disk recorder, a digital mixer, DAT recorder, or digital VTR. The AES/EBU format is used mainly on professional digital audio equipment.

Although an XLR to XLR type connecting cable is required, the recommended cable impedance is different to that of typical audio XLR type connecting cables. You may find that typical audio XLR type cables work successfully, but to eliminate any risk of data corruption it is best to use a cable that is specifically made for use with the AES/EBU

format. The recommended cable impedance for AES/EBU is 110

.

AES/EBU OUT 1/2, 3/4

Two male XLR 3-32 type connectors for outputting AES/EBU format digital audio.

Channels 1 and 2 are output via OUT 1/2, and channels 3 and 4 through OUT 3/4. These connections could be used to transfer digital audio data from the CBX-D5 to professional digital audio equipment.

Here again, it is best to use a cable that is specifically made for use with the AES/EBU format. Follow the same recommendations given above for the AES/EBU IN connection.

CD/DAT IN

A Phono/RCA jack for inputting CD/DAT format digital audio. Two channels, 1 and 2

(left, right), are carried in the same connection. This connection could be connected to the digital output of a CD player or DAT recorder and allows digital audio recording without multiple D/A, A/D audio data conversions. Some MIDI samplers are fitted with this type of connection. In this case, sound samples could be transferred digitally between a sampler and the CBX-D5. The CD/DAT format is found mainly on consumer type digital audio equipment, although, most professional digital audio equipment supports it, too.

Phono/RCA type cables and connectors are commonly used for hi-fi equipment, however, there are connecting cables designed specifically for use with the CD/DAT format and

wherever possible they should be used.

CD/DAT OUT

A Phono/RCA jack for outputting CD/DAT format digital audio. Two channels, 1 and 2

(left/right), are carried in the same connection. This could be connected to the digital input of a DAT recorder or DCC recorder, and it allows digital audio recording without multiple

D/A, A/D audio data conversions.

Like the CD/DAT IN connection, it’s best to use cables specifically made for the job.

NOTE: You might have heard or read that AES/EBU type connections can be connected directly to CD/DAT connections and vice versa. In some cases this may work, but it is not recommended. To ensure data integrity, connect

AES/EBU outputs to AES/EBU inputs, and CD/DAT inputs to CD/DAT outputs.

28 28 Chapter 10 : Inputs & Outputs Explained

Y2 IN

An 8-pin DIN socket for inputting Y2 Yamaha format digital audio. Two channels, 1 and

2 (left/right), are carried in the same connection. This could be connected to one of

Yamaha’s digital audio products including the DMR8 Digital Mixer/Recorder, DMC1000

Digital Mixing Console, DRU8 Digital Recorder, SPX1000 Effect Processor, and the

DMP series of Digital Mixers.

Special cables are available for use with this format. See your Yamaha dealer for details.

Y2 OUT

An 8-pin DIN socket for outputting Y2 Yamaha format digital audio. Two channels, 1 and

2 (left/right), are carried in the same connection. This could be used to transfer digital audio data from the CBX-D5 to one of the Yamaha professional digital audio products listed above.

Again, use the cables specifically recommended for use with the Y2 format.

WORD CLK IN/OUT

NOTE: If all your audio connections are analog, no word clock connections are required.

As we explained on page 4, when a number of digital audio devices are connected together and data is digitally transferred between them, it is essential that the data processing circuits of all devices are synchronized. To achieve this, one device operates as a word clock master and all other devices operate as word clock slaves.

If you connect only two digital audio devices, say the CBX-D5 to a DAT recorder, word clock setup is quite straight forward and no external word clock connections will be required. This is because the AES/EBU, CD/DAT, and Y2 formats carry word clock information within the digital audio data. However, when three or more devices are connected in a digital system, word clock connections will be required.

NOTE: Although we have said that a word clock connection is not required when only two devices are used, some devices may require a BNC word clock connection as well as the digital audio connection. Making a separate connection using the CBX-D5’s BNC connectors may also improve data transfer and eliminate any chance of data errors.

The CBX-D5 can operate as either word clock master, using its own internal clock, or as a slave sourcing its word clock from one of the digital inputs or from the WORD CLK IN connection. This setting is made via the controlling software. The CBX-D5’s word clock output signal is always at the same frequency as the digital outputs.

NOTE: Because the CBX-D5 can convert the sampling frequency of incoming digital audio signals, the word clock output signal will not necessarily match the recording sampling frequency.

WORD CLK IN/OUT 29 29

The following table shows how the WORD CLK IN/OUT connections work with each word clock source. Word clock connections use coaxial BNC to BNC type cables.

If, for some reason the external word clock source should become disconnected or the

CBX-D5 cannot synchronize to it, the CBX-D5 will automatically switch to internal clock.

When the digital output signal is synced to an external word clock, the exact sampling frequency cannot be guaranteed. So the sampling frequency specified in the digital output’s channel status bits may be different to the actual output sampling frequency.

In the following example, data from the four CBX-D5 channels are being transferred to a digital mixer, which is also connected to a Yamaha DRU8 8-Track Digital Recorder. The

DRU8 is word clock master supplying both the CBX-D5 and the DMC1000 Digital Mixer.

In this system, the external word clock connections are essential.

In this example, audio data from two DAT recorders is being mixed via a digital mixer.

CBX-D5 first, then to the digital mixer. The CBX-D5 generates a word clock signal based on the data from DAT No. 1 and feeds this signal to DAT No. 2, which syncs to the external wordclock. The digital mixer derives its word clock from the AES/EBU inputs.

11 TO HOST connection

As well as the standard MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU connections, the CBX-D5 also has a

“TO HOST” connection. This allows direct connection to computers that do not have a built-in or external MIDI interface.

The CBX-D5 has four interface modes for connecting to a controlling computer: MIDI,

Mac, PC-1, and PC-2. These interface modes are explained below.

MIDI

This mode is for use with a computer that has a MIDI interface. That is, a computer with a built-in MIDI interface, such as the Atari ST, STE, and TT range of computers, an Apple

Macintosh computer with an external MIDI interface unit, or a PC-9801 or IBM PC/AT compatible type computer fitted with a MIDI interface. Most MIDI music software can be used with this type of connection.

The “HOST SELECT” switch should be set to MIDI.

The connecting MIDI cable should be of the type described in the “TO HOST computer connecting cables” on page 33.

D/A converter: (Digital to Analog converter) The opposite of an A/D converter, this device is used to convert PCM digital audio data into an analog audio signal. The CBX-D5 uses 18-bit 8-times oversampling D/A converters.

Delta Sigma coding

(∆ Σ)

: A digital audio coding format that greatly improves a digital audio system’s performance by using a very high sampling frequency and a 1-bit resolution.

DEQ: (Digital Equalizer) An IC (Integrated Circuit) designed specifically for equalizing digital audio data. The

CBX-D5’s DEQ IC is made by Yamaha.

Destructive editing: Editing an original recording that cannot be recovered if you make a bad edit. For example, razor blade editing a tape.

Digital Performer: An integrated MIDI sequencer, digital audio recording and editing program that can be used to control the CBX-D5 via an Apple Macintosh computer.

The Atari ST/STE computer has a DMA port.

DMA to SCSI Controller II: A hardware device made by Steinberg that allows the connection of SCSI devices to the DMA port of an Atari ST or STE.

DSP: (Digital Signal Processor) An IC (Integrated Circuit) designed specifically for digital audio data processing. The

CBX-D5 uses the same Yamaha DSP IC as those used in the SPX900 Multi-effect Processor and the DMR8 Digital

Mixer/Recorder.

Emphasis: Before A/D conversion a 6dB/octave boost starting at 3.5kHz is applied to the audio signal. During D/A conversion the emphasis is automatically detected by the replay device and de-emphasis is applied.

Fragmentation: When a file is split into sections and stored in different areas of a hard disk, i.e., in an uncontinuous series of sectors.

MTC: (MIDI Timecode) The transmission of SMPTE timecode via MIDI.

Nondestructive editing: As opposed to editing analog tape, which is a once only – get it right first time or else procedure, hard disk recording allows nondestructive editing. This means when you edit, you don’t actually edit the sound file, you edit information that tells the CBX-D5 how to play the sound file. So if you make an accidental cut or split, all is not lost because you still have the original sound file.

Nyquist frequency: The audio frequency at which very sharp low pass filtering is applied to an analog signal before

A/D conversion. The nyquist theorem states that the sampling frequency of a digital audio system must be at least twice that of the highest audio frequency, otherwise severe distortion called aliasing will occur.

Oversampling: A technique used to improve the noise and distortion performance of a digital audio system by increasing the effective sampling frequency so that the nyquist frequency is set much higher than the highest audio frequency.

PCM: (Pulse code modulation) The type of coding used to represent analog audio as a series of pulses. The amplitude of each pulse is stored as a binary word. The CBX-D5 uses

RS-232C: A serial communication protocol used on PC compatible and Atari ST/STE computers, usually a 9- or

25-pin D-SUB type connector.

Glossary 35 35

RS-422: A balanced serial communication protocol used on

SCSI daisy chain to stabilize the SCSI bus. See “SCSI termination” on page 17.

SMPTE timecode: A bi-phase code used to synchronize audio and video equipment by communicating hours, minutes, seconds, and frame information.

Sound file: A type of computer file that contains digital audio data.

Soundbite: A term used by Mark of the Unicorn’s Digital

Performer software to describe a section of a sound file that can be handled as an independent piece of sound data, but is in fact identified using start and end pointers to a region of a sound file.

The format and length vary depending on the DT status byte.

The first byte of the DT message is the channel number (It is usually from 0 to 3).

Several DT commands may be contained in one DT message.

The EOX (F7) command is used at the end of the DT message.

From a standpoint of error correction, we recommend inserting breaks in DT messages at 100 ms intervals.

CAUTION: When recording to a hard disk, one unit is used for multi-channel recording/ playback. For this reason, parameters are separated into Common and

Channel parameters. The parameter addresses used are as follows:

Channel parameter base address = h'0

Common parameter base address = h'2000
