Greetings

I have a system comprising of a G5 with an RME HDSP9652 (Logic), a P4 Intel
with an HDSP9652 and 3 EDS1000 (PARIS), and a spare Athlon PC which I'll
either dedicate to PARIS and the EDS cards or VST instruments and the
HDSP9652. The PARIS system has 2 MECs (one ADAT card each) and a spare 442.

Currently I'm only using the 2 MECs but I'd like to utilise the S/PDIF on
the 442 as an audio input from the VST-instrument-dedicated-PC. From what
I've read I will need to clock the PARIS interfaces externally.

I've seen references to the Lucid GENx6 (DJ this is what you use isn't it
?), however this product is end of life, so I'm considering the Lucid GENx96
or perhaps the GENx192. Anyone had any experience with either of these newer
devices with PARIS ?

I was also wondering if I could get away with using the wordclock output of
one of the RME HDSP9652s, and running it through a distribution device, such
as Lucid's CLKx6. Is the RME wordclock up to the task ?

Cheers,

Stewart.

It's definitely up to the task.

Thanks for the feedback DJ. I can't make up my mind whether to get a CLKx6
or GENx192... Any advice ?

Cheers,
Stewart.

If you're using the RME clock, no point in buying the GENx192. The CLKx6 is
a lot less expensive. If you're using oneof your HDSP cards as master, just
route the clock out to the CLKx6 and then distribute the signal to the other
devices. I've actually got a CLKx6 here.. It will distribute a signal at
whatever sample rate it receives. Pretty handy device.

You've convinced me. I'l spend the $600 difference on, oh I don't know,
fixing the transmission on my Javelin or something 8)

Cheers,

Stewart.

I'm going to EBay my CLKx6 pretty soon. It's like brand new. I used it for
about 3 months, but then I started clocking all 3 of my RME cards directly
from the ADAT sync ports of my Paris modules so I don't really use it any
more. If I need higher sample rates than 44.1, I can use my GENx6 as a
distro module clocked from my RME card or my Mytek A/D converter. Street on
these is around $400.00. I'm going to need to fly one-way to to Connecticut
next week to pick up a truck I bought and so I'll let this one go for
$325.00 (the price of the ticket ;o) plus shipping. Guaranteed to work.. If
you want it, give me a call. My OE is all screwed up right now and I can't
return e-mails from this account.

I would jump at that offer, but I live in Sydney so it's probably not
practical. Thanks anyway though, and thanks again for your help and advice.

Cheers,
Stewart.
