MR16 Owner’s Manual (MIDI synchronization)

MIDI synchronization

By connecting the external MIDI devices (such as a sequencer, sound module, computer, etc.) via the [MIDI OUT] connector of the MR16, you can make powerful recording.

For example, by synchronizing a sequencer with the MR16 during play- back, you can mix down signals (such as a vocal, guitar, etc.) recorded on the MR16 tracks and audio from a sound module.

You can synchronize MIDI with the MR16 by connecting a MIDI device to the [MIDI OUT] connector on the MR16 and sending out MTC (MIDI time code) or MIDI clock (with Song Position Pointer) from the MR16.
