Roland introduced the DIF-AT24 Interface Box For R-BUS/ADAT at NAMM. This 1/3 rackmount unit converts the 8-channnel R-BUS format found on V-Studios and the MV-8000 to the popular ADAT format--making it ideal for transferring audio between Roland gear and ADAT-compatible devices. With MIDI built-in, the DIF-AT24 can also be used to expand the MV-8000's available MIDI outputs.

Roland's R-BUS format is a way to exchange up to eight channels of 24-bit digital audio between R-BUS equipped V-Studios or an MV-8000. With the DIF-AT24 connected, the R-BUS format is converted to ADAT for easy audio transfers between a V-Studio/MV-8000 and a lightpipe-compatible sound card or digital mixer.

The DIF-AT24's MIDI In and Out jacks can be used while syncing to a software sequencer or ADAT recorder. When connected to an MV-8000, the MIDI Out jack adds another 16 MIDI output channels--making the DIF-AT24 a great way to expand the MV's sequencing power.

MSRP: $445.
