Korg owner manual Using Midi to control the mixer, Synchronizing two D3200 units

Synchronizing two D3200 units

Here’s how you can make two D3200 units play back in sync. One D3200 will be the MTC master, and the other will be the MTC slave.

(1)Use a MIDI cable to connect your equipment.

Use MIDI cables to connect the MIDI IN connectors and MIDI OUT connectors of the master and slave D3200 units to each other.

(2)Make settings on the master D3200.

In the SYSTEM/MIDI, “MIDI/MMC” tab page, set “MIDI Sync” to “MTC Master,” and set “MMC Mode” to “Receive.”

For this example, set “Device ID” to “10.”

(3)Make settings on the slave D3200.

In the SYSTEM/MIDI, “MIDI/MMC” tab page, set “MIDI Sync” to “MTC Slave,” and set “MMC Mode” to “Transmit.” Set “Device ID” to “10” to match the set- ting of the master device.

If you don’t want to transmit or receive mixer control messag- es, disable control change transmission and reception (→“Using MIDI to control the mixer”).

(4)Press the PLAY key of the slave D3200 unit.

An MMC message will be transmitted from the slave D3200 unit. The master unit will receive this message, and will start playing. When playback begins, the master unit will transmit MTC, and when the slave unit achieves synchronization, it will begin playback.

It may take several seconds for synchronization to be achieved.

The D3200 supports multiple frame rates. The transmitting and receiving devices must both be set to the same frame rate.

Using MIDI to control the mixer

Recording D3200 mixer operations on your external MIDI sequencer

(1)Use a MIDI cable to connect the two devices.

Use a MIDI cable to connect the D3200’s MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN connector of your external MIDI sequencer.

(2)Adjust the synchronization settings on the D3200 and on your external MIDI sequencer.

Access the SYSTEM/MIDI, “MIDI/MMC” tab page, and set “MIDI Sync” to “MIDIClockMaster” or “MTC

Master.”

Adjust the synchronization settings on your external MIDI sequencer as well. (For details, refer to the manual of your MIDI sequencer.)

(3)Enable control change transmission on the D3200.

•In the SYSTEM/MIDI, “MIDI/MMC” tab page, click the “MIDI” parameter “Control Change” to turn it on.

•If you want scene change data and mixer parameter changes created by event automation playback to be transmitted, turn the SCENE, “Automation” tab page “Automation” parameter on, and also click the SYS- TEM/MIDI “MIDI/MMC” tab page “MIDI” “Pro- gram Change” parameter to turn it on.

(4)Put the external MIDI sequencer in record-ready mode.

The D3200’s mixer control data is transmitted on MIDI channels 1–16. Set your external MIDI sequencer so that it will record all sixteen MIDI channels. (For details, refer to the manual of your MIDI sequencer.)

For details on the parameters, refer to the MIDI implementa- tion. Consult your local Korg distributor for more informa- tion on MIDI Implementation.

(5)Begin recording.

Press the D3200’s PLAY key to begin playback, and the external MIDI sequencer will begin synchronized recording. Now if you operate the mixer parameters (faders, pan, EQ etc.), the corresponding control change messages will be transmitted from the D3200 and will be recorded on the external MIDI sequencer.

(6)Stop the D3200.

When you press the D3200’s STOP key to stop playback, the external MIDI device will also stop recording. The D3200’s mixer parameter operations have now been recorded on the external MIDI device.

Receiving the mixer operations recorded above in “i.e. Recording D3200 mixer operations ...” from your exter- nal MIDI sequencer to control the D3200 mixer

(1)Use a MIDI cable to connect the two devices.

Use MIDI cables to connect the MIDI IN connectors and MIDI OUT connectors of the D3200 and your MIDI sequencer to each other.

(2)Adjust the synchronization settings on the D3200 and on your external MIDI sequencer.

Access the SYSTEM/MIDI, “MIDI/MMC” tab page, and set “MIDI Sync” to “MTC Master.”

Set your external MIDI sequencer to function as MTC Slave. (For details, refer to the manual of your MIDI sequencer.)

(3)Enable control change reception on the D3200.

•In the SYSTEM/MIDI, “MIDI/MMC” tab page, turn the “MIDI” parameter “Control Change” to turn it on.

•In the SCENE, “Automation” tab page, click “Auto- mation” to turn it off.

(4)Press the D3200’s PLAY key.

When the D3200 starts playing, your external MIDI sequencer will also begin playing in synchronization. The previously-recorded mixer operation data will be transmitted from the MIDI sequencer, causing the set- tings of the D3200’s mixer to change.
