Recording the VF80EX stereo output signals digitally onto an external digital de vice
You can record the stereo output signal digitally onto an external digital device via the [S/P DIF/DATA OUTPUT]
connector.
You do not have to carry out any special operation for outputting an S/P DIF digital signal from the [S/P DIF/
DAT A OUTPUT] connector, because it is always output there.
All you have to do for mixing down to an external digital device digitally is to connect the device to the [S/
P DIF/DAT A OUTPUT] connector. You can perform the digital mixdown during the mixdown process described
in "Mixdown" of the "Basic recording/playback" chapter as well as in the mastering mode described in "Master-
ing mode" of this chapter.
MIDI clock sync system
By setting any desired meter at any desired point of the programmable tempo map contained in the VF80EX, and
by output of a MIDI clock and song position pointer according to the setting, a hardware type MIDI sequencer
can be synchronized as a MIDI clock slave. Consequently, in this system, the VF80EX will be the master and the
MIDI sequencer the slave.
Connecting external equipment
Connect the VF80EX MIDI OUT to MIDI IN of the MIDI
sequencer.
Set the MIDI sequencer for “external sync mode
(EXTERNAL SYNC) by MIDI clock.”
Refer to the Owners Manual of the equipment in use
for details.
