Fostex D2424 manual Setting Offset mode Offset Mode ? menu, 115, Setting MTC Offset mode

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

3.Use the SHUTTLE dial to move the flashing cursor, and turn the JOG dial to enter the desired offset value.

For example, if you rotate the JOG dial on the seconds digit up 59, turning the dial further will increase the number on the digit of minute by one.

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.

4.Press the EXECUTE/YES key.

The selected offset value is stored and the display returns to the indication with the flashing [?] that appeared in step 2.

<Note>

For example, if you set MTC Offset mode to [ABS] (see the next section) and you wish to start the song from MTC’s 01h 00m 00s 00f, you may wish to set a preroll of three seconds with an MTC offset of 00h 59m 57s 00f.

Setting Offset mode (“Offset Mode ?” menu)

If you have selected [MTC] in the “Setting Offset mode” menu, you need to select MTC Offset mode.

This menu enables you to determine whether the specified MTC is output at ABS 00h 00m 00s 00f or at 001bar 1beat 00clk (bar/beat) of the Tempo Map.

<Notes>

*As an example, if you set MTC Offset mode to [ABS] and you wish to start the song from MTC’s 1h 00m 00s 00f, you may want to set a preroll of three seconds with MTC offset of 00h 59m 57s 00f.

If you select [BAR ] as the MTC Offset mode, a preroll of two measures is automatically set. Use 01h 00m 00s 00f; do not set a preroll value.

*If you set Offset mode to [BAR ] and use MTC to synchronize sequence software on the computer, the tempo of the sequencer may sometimes slip gradually. This is because the tempo of the recorder and the tempo of the software are slightly different even if both use the same tempo. Some sequence software can read the tempo output from the recorder correctly. We recommend that you use the tempo of the recorder on the sequence software. No such problems will occur if the sequence software synchronizes the recorder via MIDI clock, instead of MTC.

• Initial setting:	[ABS]
• Offset mode option:	[ABS], or [Bar	]

*You can set the mode 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.

If you select “ABS”, the specified MTC offset time is output at ABS 00h 00m 00s 00f.

If you select “Bar ”, the specified MTC offset time is output at 001bar 1beat 00clk of the Tempo Map.

4.Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The selected offset mode is stored and the display returns to the indication with flashing “?”.

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.
