Setting MIDI sync output signal (“Midi Sync Out ?” menu)

The “Setting MIDI sync output signal” menu enables you to select the type of MIDI sync signals output from the MIDI OUT connector on the rear panel of the recorder to an external MIDI device.

The options are MIDI clock & Song Position Pointer, or MTC (MIDI time code). Select an appropriate option depending on the type of signal supported by the connected MIDI device.

If you select MIDI clock & Song Position Pointer, first you need to set the time signatures and tempo as described previously. If you select MTC, you first need to set the MTC frame rate, the MTC offset time, and the MTC offset mode as described later.

• Initial setting:	[MTC]
• Option:	[CLK] (clock & Song Position Pointer), [MTC] (MIDI time code), [Off] (no output)

*You can set the parameters for each Program individually.

*The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the song data.

*The settings are maintained after you turn off the power to the recorder.

Setting MIDI sync signal

1.While the recorder is stopped, press the [SETUP] key to enter SETUP mode.

2.Rotate the [JOG] dial to select “Midi Sync Out ?” (“?” flashes.), then press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The currently-selected MIDI sync signal type appears on the display.

Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key to turn off the flashing “?” indication. The MIDI sync signal type indication flashes, and the indicator flashes indicating the SYNC OUT setting.

The initial setting is “MTC” as shown below.

3.Turn the [JOG] dial to select the desired MIDI sync signal.

Setting this parameter to “CLK” will select MIDI clock & Song Position Pointer.

Setting the parameter to “MTC” (initial setting) will select MIDI time code.

With the “Off” setting, no MIDI sync signal will be output.

4.Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The selected MIDI sync signal type is stored, and the recorder returns to the display with the flashing “?” indicator as shown in step 2.

To cancel the setting operation, or to restore a setting obtained prior to the [EXECUTE/YES] key press, press the [STOP] button or the [EXIT/NO] key. Each time you press one of these keys, the recorder returns to the previous hierarchy level of the menu, and finally exits SETUP mode and displays the previous Time Base.

Setting an MTC frame rate (“Frame Rate ?” menu)

The “Setting an MTC frame rate” menu enables you to set the frame rate for MTC output from the MIDI OUT connector of the recorder to an external MIDI device. If you have already set the type of MIDI sync output signal to “MTC,” you need to set the frame rate. Use the frame rate of MTC received by the external MIDI device (or sequence software).

• Initial setting:	[25] (25 frames)
• Setting range of frame rate:	[24], [25], [29df], [29nd], [30df], [30nd]

*You can set the value for each Program individually.

*The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the song data.

*The settings are maintained after you turn off the power to the recorder.
