2. MIDI
• With a setting of MTC:MIDI-A or MTC:MIDI-B, the
QY700 will synchronize to MTC messages received from
MIDI IN-A or MIDI IN-B, and will transmit MMC mes-
sages from the corresponding MIDI OUT connector (MIDI
OUT-A for MTC:MIDI-A, or MIDI OUT-B for MTC:MIDI-
B).
• MTC is an acronym for MIDI Time Code, and is a type of
timecode that can be exchanged between MIDI device via a
MIDI cable. MTC consists of “hour:minute:second:frame”
units.
The QY700 does not output MTC. If you wish to synchro-
nize using MTC, you will need a device that is able to out-
put MTC such as the Yamaha MD4.
• MMC is an acronym for MIDI Machine Control, and is a
specification for controlling devices such as multi-track re-
corders from MIDI sequencers etc. When operations such
as start/stop or rewind/fast-forward are performed on the
sequencer, the corresponding operation will automatically
be performed on the MMC-compatible multi-track recorder,
so that playback on the recorder will always occur from the
same location of the song as on the sequencer.
• Select this setting if you are using the QY700 as a slave
device for MTC synchronization, or if you are using the
QY700 together with an external device such as an MMC-
compatible multi-track recorder.

1. MIDI sync

• This selects whether the QY700 will use its own internal
clock or whether it will use MIDI Clock or MTC messages
received from the MIDI IN connector.
• You will need to make these settings when synchronizing
the QY700 with external MIDI devices.
• With a setting of Internal, the QY700 will use its own inter-
nal clock. Select this setting if you are using the QY700 by
itself or as the master device in a system that is synchro-
nized by MIDI Clock messages.
• With a setting of MIDI-A or MIDI-B, the QY700 will be
controlled by MIDI Clock messages received from MIDI
IN-A or MIDI IN-B. Select this setting if you are using the
QY700 as a slave device for synchronized play.
This is the setting to use when synchronizing the QY700 to
an external MIDI device.
