Introduction

About the FirePort 1394 and

FST/Connect software

The Alesis FirePort 1394 is designed to complement the ADAT

HD24 hard disk recorder perfectly. It allows extremely fast and

accurate transfers of audio data between an ADAT FST™ hard

drive and your computer by using industry-standard IEEE 1394

connections (also known as FireWire). Tracks may be transferred

at speeds up to 40 times faster than 10-BaseT Ethernet! This

makes it even more practical for you to use your favorite editing

platform to modify the tracks to your heart’s content, after which

they may be sent back with equal accuracy and even greater speed

(which will be explained later).

Alesis, the company that revolutionized multitrack recording with

the introduction of the ADAT, provided yet another major price-

to-performance breakthrough with the ADAT HD24 hard disk

recorder. Now with the advent of the FirePort 1394, the superior

audio quality and portability of the HD24 can be married with the

DSP-wrangling capabilities of your favorite audio editing software.

Don’t forget to eat.

Important features of FirePort 1394 and

FST/Connect

Industry-standard IEEE 1394 connection

FirePort 1394 takes advantage of the high-speed, industry-

standard FireWire connection for extremely rapid file transfers.

Gone are the days of large periods of downtime while waiting for

an entire song to make the jump to or from a computer-based

audio editing software package. With the FirePort 1394 and

FST/Connect software, the entire contents of a 24-track, 48k song

can be transferred from one device to the other in far less time

than it would take to listen to the song one time through.

Simple to hook up

Plug a FireWire cable from your computer into the FirePort 1394,

plug one of your HD24’s hard drive caddies into the FirePort

1394, and turn it on. The drive spins up in seconds and you’re

ready to go.

Easy-to-use software

Create, name and delete Projects and Songs, format and name your

hard drives, export single tracks or whole songs to your computer

and import them back to the FST drive with a few clicks of the

mouse. Know at a glance the amount of free space available in

your FST drive at any of the standard sample rates. Write-protect a

song with a flick of the wrist. All of these functions are accessible

from the main page of the included FST/Connect software.
