Hoping you can help me with a very frustrating sync problem I've been trying to track down for the past few months.
I have an 828mk3 connected to a Behringer ADA8200 via ADAT and a Korg Kronos via TOSLINK. However, no matter what I try, I can not get this combination to work when the 828 is set as the clock master.
If the MOTU 828's clock is set to Internal, and the Kronos and ADA8200 are set to slave, the combination only works if only one of the Kronos or the ADA8200 are turned on. If both the KRONOS and the ADA8200 are turned on, the MOTU receives constant white noise on the ADAT In channels. If the KRONOS or the ADA8200 are turned off, the noise disappears. If the ADAT channels are muted, the noise disappears.
If the 828's clock is set to either slave to the Kronos or the ADA8200, the problem disappears.
I have tried syncing the ADA8200 both via ADAT and Wordclock, both with the same result.
I have tried using the ADA8200 with other equipment with no problems, plus had two replacements from my Behringer dealer to try.
It seems to me that perhaps the 828 is becoming confused by the multiple incoming clocks, even when it is set to use its internal clock. For reference, all equipment is set to 48kHz.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I don't want to have to use the ADA8200 as the clock master - but currently this seems like the only viable solution
