tracks) is given below. Note that the sequencing software must be able to transmit MMC com- mands and also to sync to MTC for this to be effective:

MIDI IN (2)

(keyboard events) MIDI IN (1) (MTC)

MIDI OUT (1)

MIDI OUT (2)

(MMC commands)

(musical data)

MIDI OUT (MTC)

MIDI IN

MIDI OUT (keyboard events)

The sequencer is set up to transmit MMC com- mands, and is set so that it synchronizes to SMPTE/MTC.

When a “transport” command is given from the sequencer, the appropriate MMC command is transmitted to the DA-98. When the DA-98 has located and starts playback (or recording), the MTC is transmitted back to the sequencer, which locks in and starts at the correct point.

In this way, though the DA-98 is the timecode master, the sequencer is the transport master.

The arrangement shown here uses 2 inputs to the sequencer. The same effect could be achieved with the intelligent use of filtering mechanisms.
