MV-8800 Using the MV8-OP1

About the MV8-OP1

The MV8-OP1 AUDIO I/O EXPANSION (sold separately) is an expansion board that adds six analog

multi-outputs, digital inputs (coaxial type and optical type), and an R-BUS connector to the MV-8800.

Installing the MV8-OP1 adds the following functionality.

●

You can digitally connect a digital audio device (CD player, MD player, DAT recorder) and sample

without impairing the audio quality.

●

You can input digital audio of a variety of sampling frequencies.

* Since the MV8-OP1 contains a sampling rate converter, there is no limitation on the sampling frequencies that can

be input. All signals will be converted to 44.1 kHz.

●

You can connect devices that have an R-BUS connector, such as the Roland VS-2480CD or XV-5080,

for digital audio input/output via R-BUS (2-channel input / 8-channel output).

●

You can individually output the audio signals of the MV-8800 to its multi outputs. This is convenient

when you are using the MV-8800 with an external mixer. (Analog output and R-BUS output are all

available.)

●

When used with the DIF-AT24 (sold separately), an additional MIDI IN and OUT (16 channels) is added.

* Don’t connect the R-BUS connector to an RMDB connector, SCSI connector, RS-232C connector, or parallel

connector. Doing so will cause malfunctions.

* Don’t connect or disconnect the R-BUS connector while the power is turned on. Doing so will cause malfunctions.

Using the MV8-OP1

MV-8800 Using the MV8-OP1

If the MV-8800 is connected to another device that has an R-BUS connector, you can use two channels of

digital audio input and eight channels of digital audio output.

●

You may connect only another R-BUS device to the R-BUS connector. Even if the connector has the same

shape, you must never attempt to connect a SCSI, RS-232C, or parallel interface. Doing so will cause

malfunctions.

●

Use an R-BUS cable (RBC-1 or RBC-3: each sold separately) to make connections to an R-BUS connector.

●

Before connecting or disconnecting the R-BUS cable, you must turn off the power of the MV-8800 and the

other R-BUS device. If you make connections while the power is on, the system may fail to operate correctly,

and malfunctions may also occur.

●

R-BUS is the same specification as “RMDB2” and “RMDB II.” It can be used without any problems with

devices marked “RMDB2” or “RMDB II.”

●

R-BUS is not compatible with “RMDB”.

●

The RBC-5 (5 meter R-BUS cable: no longer available) cannot be used with the MV-8800. Please use the

RBC-1 (1 meter R-BUS cable) or RBC-3 (3 meter R-BUS cable).

Here’s how to specify whether the word clock master device (the device that produces the synchronization

signal that regulates transmission and reception of digital audio signals) will be the MV-8800 itself or the

external device connected to the R-BUS connector.

Press [SYSTEM].

The SYSTEM MENU screen (Screen Guide; p. 172) will appear.

With the cursor located in the upper row of icons, press [F2](R-BUS). Alternatively, select

the R-BUS icon and press [ENTER].

The R-BUS screen (Screen Guide; p. 183) will appear.

Set the Word Clock parameter.

Normally, you should use the “External” setting.

Transferring digital audio via R-BUS

Caution when connecting an R-BUS device

Making word clock settings

●

For details on word clock, refer to “Digital Connection with the Word Clock” (p. 10).

Value Explanation

External The word clock will be received from an externally connected R-BUS device. In this case, the sampling

rate of the signal sent from the MV8-OP1’s R-BUS connector will match the sampling rate of the external

R-BUS device.

Internal The word clock (44.1 kHz) will be generated inside the MV-8800, and transmitted via the R-BUS

connector. Set the external R-BUS device connected to the R-BUS connector to operate as the Slave.

●

The signal transmitted from the MV-8800’s OUTPUT DIGITAL and the internal processing of the sampling

functionality and the like is always 44.1 kHz.

MV-8800 Using the MV8-OP1

Using the MV8-OP1

Connect the MV-8800 with your R-BUS device.

Press [SYSTEM].

The SYSTEM MENU screen (Screen Guide; p. 172) will appear.

With the cursor located in the upper row of icons, press [F1](Global). Alternatively, select

the GLOBAL icon and press [ENTER].

The GLOBAL screen (Screen Guide; p. 173) will appear.

Set the Input Select parameter to “R-BUS.”

Audio can now be input via R-BUS channels 1 and 2. When you switch the setting, the illustration of the input

connectors shown in the GLOBAL screen will also change.

Inputting digital audio into R-BUS

●

You cannot use R-BUS channels 3–8 to input audio into the MV-8800.

●

Since the MV8-OP1 contains a sampling rate converter, there is no restriction on the sampling rates that can

be input. All signals will be converted to 44.1 kHz.

Ordinarily, word clock is generated within, and output by the device transmitting digital signals (the master).

Meanwhile, the receiving device (the slave) receives the word clock and adjusts its operation (synchronizes)

to that clock. This means that the operation of the transmitting and receiving devices is based on the same

sampling rate. With some devices, however, the sampling rate used may differ.

The digital circuitry of the MV8-OP1 (optional), which can be combined with the MV-8800, features a built-in

sampling rate converter. This enables reception of digital signals, even when the sampling rate of the received

signals differs. The digital signals transmitted from the R-BUS are matched to the received sampling rate.

Also, with some R-BUS devices, you could encounter situations such as the following:

●No word clock can be generated (only slave operation is available)

●Due to circumstances with the connection, the device needs to be set to receive word clock (slave).

In such situations, you can make the MV-8800 the word clock master by setting it to “Internal.” However, the

sampling rate of the digital signals output from the R-BUS will be fixed at 44.1 kHz.
