EMU ESI-4000: Setup of SPDIF Output

MIDI & MULTIMODE

SPDIF and FX can also be utilized but are not separate busses and cannot be used to expand the number of discrete outputs. In the case of a multiple output setup, SPDIF or FX would be used as an alternative to the analog Main Output bus. This is an advanced configuration which is explained later in the SPDIF/FX section.

SETTINGS CONFIGURATION

MASTER/SPECIAL/OUTPUT FORMAT —
Main Output Format: analog

MASTER/MIDI/MULTIMODE ENABLE —
Boot in Multi: yes
Use Bank State: no

MASTER/MIDI/MIDI MIX —
Change the bottom lines from ‘zzzz zzzz zzzz zzzz’ to ‘M123 zzzz zzzz zzzz’ (for 4 stereo busses) or ‘MM11 2233 zzzz zzzz’ (for 8 mono outputs).
