Synchronizing with Midi, Connection | Fostex MR-8 specification

MR-8 Owner’s Manual

SynchronizingwithMIDI

By connecting the external MIDI devices (such as a sequencer, sound module, computer, etc.) via the [MIDI OUT] connector of the MR-8, you can make powerful recording.

For example, by synchronizing a sequencer with the MR-8 during playback, you can mix down signals (such as a vocal, guitar, etc.) recorded on the MR-8 tracks and audio from a sound module.

You can synchronize MIDI with the MR-8 by connecting a MIDI device to the [MIDI OUT] connector on the MR-8 and sending out MTC (MIDI time code) or MIDI clock (with Song Position Pointer) from the MR-8.

Synchronization using MTC		MIDI sync/MTC frame rate settings

The following describes how to synchronize a sequencer to the MR-8 which supports MTC (MIDI Time code).

Connection

Connect the [MIDI OUT] connector of the MR-8 to the [MIDI IN] connector of an external MIDI sequencer using a MIDI cable (not supplied).

While the MR-8 is stopped, you can set the refer- ence of MIDI synchronization to "MTC" and the MTC frame rate appropriately to match the se- quencer.

<MTC start time>

The MTC from the MR-8 has an hour offset, which is fixed. Therefore, when starting the MR- 8 from the beginning of a song (ABS ZERO), the MTC starts from "01h00m00s00f".

1)While the recorder is stopped, press the [MENU] key to enter the menu mode.

The display shows the menu selection screen, in which "System" is highlighted initially.
