POLYREC

Hi everyone! … at Nysthi I discovered the POLYREC module … it records 16 channels … which means that if I had a 32 channel MERGE module, it would only record 16 channels out of those 32? or is it 16 poly channels? … thanx

16 is the upper limit of poly channels inside 1 cable. POLYREC has 1 poly input so it records max 16 channels. You can’t MERGE 32 channels into 1 cable. However you can use POLYREC64 to record up to 64 channels grouped in 1-4 cables.

@_jojo_blue ask @ROGAVKA, he knows EVERYTHING !

_jojo_blue · June 11, 2020, 8:02pm

he advised me well …

_jojo_blue · June 11, 2020, 8:04pm

ahaaaaaa … I didn’t notice the POLYREC64 module because I was enchanted by the POLYREC module as I noticed it … tahnx a lot!!!

… so … this is the right connection? (because doesn’t do what I expected) … thanx

wrong

the mm 1-8 directly in a polyrec 1-16
the mm 9 -16 in polyrec 17 32
the mm groups in our polyrec 33 48

that’s all

ou yessss … I thought that from inputs 16 32 48 and 64 on POLYSEQ it is possible to use only one at a time as needed … thanx a lot!

… thanx thanx!

Wondering if any of you smart folks can help detect what I’m doing wrong here. When I record to POLYREC, the resulting sound file seems to have no sound at all. Thanks!

Could you test if there’s a signal going into Polyrec64 f.i. like this :

With the gain on the scope turned up as shown, I see this

Yeager · August 9, 2024, 10:50am

And when you record it like this, it sounds like it should ?

civyiukkliu · August 11, 2024, 9:50am

No, not at all. The resulting wav file seems to contain no recording/doesn’t seem to show any audio. Thanks again for helping me try to solve this!

PS I just right+clicked on the Polyrec module and selected Consolidate Tracks After Recording. The resulting file then was audible but very very quiet. What is being recording sounds like a very reduced version of what I’m hearing while monitoring (15 sec recording here https://www.thelab.blue/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/template-today-new-2024-06-05_202408110610_i7.32chan.000.wav ) This makes me wonder if the prob. has to do with a level going into the Polyrec? Ideas?

I remember having some trouble with POLYREC suddenly and haven’t tried it since (mainly because I didn’t have to record anything with multiple tracks). If you find a solution I’ll be interested in knowing what it is, buy yeah I think this module started to glitch with some update probably, because the same process for me worked for some time and then it wasn’t recording.

Yeager · August 11, 2024, 2:23pm

I just tried it with these settings and the result was as I expected :

16 bit and one file also work.

Yeager · August 11, 2024, 2:28pm

Yep almost total silence indeed very quiet.( Normalizing the tracks made it sound like a contestant for the wilderness challenge ?)
