I'm assuming it works like their (and emagic's) recent MIDI interfaces
- it sends everything ahead of time and leaves it up to the receiving
device to actually "play" the events at the correct time. The giveaway
will be if system link only works for recorded tracks, that can be sent
in advance by at least all the latency they are going to experience,
and not for live MIDI or audio input.
What I'm interested to see is if they've arranged the data carried in
the lowest bit to have a white spectrum, so you could still use that
channel for carrying 15- or 23-bit audio.
Paul.
