Tip: If the measure location of a new step is set earlier than the measure location of an existing step, the subsequent steps will automatically be reordered. Similarly if you set the measure location of an existing step to 000 to delete it, the subsequent steps will automatically be reordered.

Synchronizing two MD4S recorders

The MD4S is able to synchronize to MTC received from an external device. For example if you have two MD4S recorders, and set one MD4S to transmit MTC messages and the other MD4S to receive these MTC messages, the two units will act as a single 8-track multi-track recorder. In this case, the MD4S that transmits the MTC will be the MTC Master and the MD4S that receives the MTC will be the MTC Slave. When the MTC Master MD4S runs, the MTC Slave MD4S will follow the MTC Master and run in synchronization. In this setup, you can connect the STEREO OUT jacks of the MTC Slave MD4S to LINE INPUT jacks 5 and 6 of the MTC Master MD4S so that the signals of the ST bus of both units can be combined by the MTC Master MD4S.
