MIDI sync function

The following are examples concerning general types of systems using MIDI related functions contained in the VR800.

MIDI clock sync system

By setting any desired meter at any desired point of the programmable tempo map contained in the VR800, 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 VR800 will be the master and the MIDI sequencer the slave.

*Restore the default settings on VR800.

*Check for the correct program and proper sampling frequency.
