SMPTE/MTC system

In this system, a SMPTE/MIDI converter is used to generate the SMPTE timecode that is

recorded onto Track 4 of the MT400. During playback, the SMPTE timecode is output from

SYNC OUT (dedicated Track 4 output) and converted to a MIDI timecode.

An example below uses a MIDI interface that has two MIDI IN/OUT jacks. If you have only

one pair of MIDI IN/OUT jacks, change the connection as described below.

•Creating sequence data

Connect MIDI IN of the MIDI interface to MIDI OUT of the MIDI keyboard.

Connect MIDI OUT of the MIDI interface to MIDI IN of the MIDI tone generator or

synthesizer.

•Recording a SYNC signal

Connect MIDI OUT of the MIDI interface to MIDI IN of the SMPTE/MTC converter.

•Operating in synchronization

Connect MIDI IN of the MIDI interface to MIDI OUT of the SMPTE/MTC converter.

Connect MIDI OUT of the MIDI interface to MIDI IN of the MIDI tone generator or

synthesizer.
