Model D2424 Reference Manual (Changing the Initial Settings <SETUP mode>)

Setting an MTC frame rate

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

3.Turn the [JOG] dial to enter the desired frame rate.

Rotating the [JOG] dial clockwise or counter-clockwise displays available frame rates as an alternative.

2.Turn the [JOG] dial to select “Frame Rate ?” ( “?” flashes), then press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The current frame rate setting appears on the display. Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key to turn off the flashing “?” character; the current setting flashes.

The initial setting of “25” flashes as shown below.

4.Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The selected frame rate is stored and the display returns to the indication with a flashing “?” that appeared in step 2.

To cancel the operation, or to restore the 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.

<Note>

There are no 29.97nd or 29.97df in the MTC standard. Use either 30nd or 30df unless you definitely need to synchronize the recorder with NTSC video.

Setting an MTC offset value (“MTC Offset?” menu)

The “Setting an MTC offset value” menu enables you to specify an offset time value - the difference between the time of MTC output from the recorder and the ABS 00m 00s 00f 00sf time. You need to specify this value if you have selected “MTC” for the “Setting MIDI sync output signal” menu.

With the initial setting of 00h 59m 57s 00f 00sf, for example, MTC of 59m 57s 00f 00sf is output at the ABS time 00m 00s 00f 00sf. You can also set an offset value from the 001bar 1beat 00clk value (bar/beat) on the Tempo Map. Refer to the next section for information on MTC Offset mode.

• Initial setting:	[00h: 59m: 57s: 00f: 00sf]
• Setting range of offset time:	00h: 00m: 00s: 00f: 00sf - 23h: 59m: 59s: 29f: 99sf

*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.

Setting an MTC offset

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

2.Turn the [JOG] dial to select “MTC Offset?” (“?” flashes.), then press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The current offset value appears on the display. Pressing the [EXECUTE/YES] key turns off the flashing “?” character, and the value in secondsflashes.

You can enter a value at the flashing digit.

The number “57” of the initial setting “57s” flashes as shown below.
