Another interesting comparison is modular digital
multitracks
such as ADAT and DA-88. Anybody know how sync works on those
beasties?
I think ADAT sends a wordclock-like pulse over the optical link. One
machine is master. All the others slave their converters to that.
Given sample synchronicity, doing the tape I/O is just a buffering
task that each device can manage independently.
