Various Operations Related to
Synchronized Operation
There may be times when you want to use MIDI Clock to synchronize with an external MIDI sequencer or other device, even without recording using the metronome. In such instances, to synchronize with the tempo of the recorded song, first set a Marker. You can then create a sync track or tempo map beginning at that Marker.
Out: The connector transmits MIDI messages from the
Thru: MIDI messages received at the MIDI IN con- nector will be retransmitted from the connector without change.
6.Press [SYSTEM] several times until “SYS Sync/Tempo ?” appears in the display.
7.Press [YES].
8.Press PARAMETER [ 
] several times until “SYS Gen.=” appears in the display.
9.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.
Gen. (Generator)
This selects the type of synchronization signal that will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector. At this point, select “MIDIClk.”
Off: Synchronization signals are not transmitted.
MTC: MIDI Time Code is transmitted.
MIDIClk: MIDI Clock according to the Tempo Map is transmitted.
SyncTr: MIDI Clock data recorded on the sync track is transmitted.
10.Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)]. Return to Play condition.
11.Set your MIDI sequencer so that it can operate according to the MIDI Clock messages received from external devices, and set it so that it can play back MIDI song data. When playback begins on the
Setting Markers Along with the Tempo
1.Press [ZERO].
2.Press [PLAY] to begin playback of the song.
3.While listening to the song, press [TAP] at the downbeat at the each beat.
4.When you have finished setting the Markers, press [STOP].
*To correctly place Markers on the downbeats of other song, we recommend using the Preview and Scrub func- tions.
Creating a Sync Track from the Marker
A sync track can be generated from markers that were assigned according to the tempo of a previously recorded performance. This is convenient when you have already recorded a performance of an acoustic instrument such as guitar or vocal, and now you wish to synchronize a MIDI sequencer etc. to the recording.
1.Press [SYSTEM] several times until “SYS Sync/Tempo?” appears in the display.
2.Press [YES].
3.Press PARAMETER [ 
] several times until “SYS MIDI PRM ?” appears in the display.
4.Press [YES].
5.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.
CV (Convert)
Here you can select how the sync track / tempo map will be created. For this example, select “CV1.”
CV1=Tap→ S.Tr: Create the sync track from mark points.
CV2=Tap→ T.Map: Create the tempo map from mark points.
CV3=S.Tr→ T.Map: Create the tempo map from the sync track.
CV4=Time→ S.Tr: Automatically create the sync track.
