Frontier Designs Frontier Design Dakota 24-Bit PCI Soundcard (Macintosh and Windows)
Many companies offer computer audio products that get you part of the way there. But trying to get separate audio cards, MIDI interfaces, and sync boxes to work together can be a time-consuming and frustrating experience. That's where Dakotaś comes in. With a full complement of 16 high-performance 24-bit digital audio channels, industry-standard 2x2 MIDI, SMPTE, and ADAT sync, Dakota makes putting together a PC-based studio easier than ever before. Dakotaś is a super-integrated PCI soundcard that provides a complete solution for digital audio, MIDI, and synchronization. No other soundcard offers this level of integration, providing computer connections to audio converters (such as our own Tango24ś and Zuluś multi-channel converters), digital mixers, tape machines, synthesizers, samplers, sequencers, video decks, sound modules, and more. Dakota supports industry standards, including ADAT lightpipe, S/PDIF, SMPTE, MIDI, and ADAT Sync, and is compatible with today‰s most popular sequencing and audio editing software. Dakota has 2 pairs of ADAT optical ports for 16 audio inputs and 16 audio outputs. Dakota has S/PDIF digital audio I/O on RCA jacks via a breakout cable that also includes an ADAT 9-pin sync input connector. Dakota also has two MIDI inputs and two MIDI outputs on standard DIN-5 connectors, and an internal CD-ROM digital audio cable for direct transfers of audio CDs. Audio channels on both Dakota and Montana support SoDAś (SMPTE on Digital Audio). This unique feature lets you use any digital audio input or output for SMPTE timecode. Standard audio channels, in either ADAT optical or S/PDIF format, can be defined as SMPTE I/O ports using the Dakota control panel. No additional hardware is required. SMPTE signals are detected, decoded, and delivered digitally to external analog converters. Dakota‰s hardware supports SMPTE and MIDI timecode chase-lock. This is a great advantage over software-based approaches that rely on real-time audio resampling or repositioning. Hardware-based chase-lock eliminates these sources of audio distortion and frees the CPU for other tasks. Dakota supports a wide range of industry standard interfaces, including: ADAT optical audio (8 channels per cable, which can be up to 33 feet long) S/PDIF on electrical coax or optical cables MIDI using standard MIDI cables SMPTE using any compatible digital audio converter and its analog I/O ADAT sync input for sample-accurate, multi-machine sync Dakota has an ultra-efficient PCI interface, essential for maximizing multi-channel digital audio capabilities. Dakota utilizes a bus-mastering interface, and scatter-gather DMA is implemented to off-load the CPU even further. All digital audio paths support up to 24-bit resolution. Dakota supports sample rates of 44.1 and 48kHz, and dynamically resamples 8, 11.025, 16, 22.05, and 32kHz digital audio for playback through high-quality external converters. Initially, Dakota is shipping with Windows 95/98 drivers and a control panel for displaying the status of Dakota and Montana, and for setting options such as input lock, audio routing, and SMPTE levels. Also included with Dakota is a CD-ROM with Cool Edit Pro SE, a multi-channel audio package that lets users set up and record right away. The Dakota CD-ROM also includes demos of several other popular audio applications and sound effects plug-ins.
