Connection to external equipment
1. Connect MIDI OUT of the computer (with MIDI interface)
with MIDI IN of the VF-16.
The computer sequence software complying to MMC/MTC
must be activated.
Setup of external equipment
1. Sequence software is setup as follows.
* Set for output of MTC.
* Set frame rate of the MTC to be output.
* Confirm start time of the tune.
Refer to Owners Manual of the respective equipment for
details.
Setup of the VF-16
1. Set to same frame rate as the sequence software by the
SETUP mode “MTC Frame rate setting.”
Refer to page “104”, SETUP mode “MTC Frame rate
setting” for operating procedure and details.
2. Set to the desired mode by the SETUP mode “MTC offset
mode setting.”
Refer to page “105”, SETUP mode “MTC offset mode
setting” for operating procedure and details.
3. A random offset time can be set by the SETUP mode
“MTC offset time setting.”
Refer to page “104”, SETUP mode “MTC offset time
setting” for operating procedure and details.
4. Set slave mode to “On” by the SETUP mode “Slave mode
setting.”
Refer to page “105”, SETUP mode “Slave mode setting”
for operating procedure and details.
External MIDI equipment sync system by the slave mode
Up to this point, synchronization with external MIDI equipment has been explained with the VF-16 as the master
and MIDI equipment as the slave but depending on the slave mode setting, the MIDI equipment can be set as the
master and the VF-16 as the slave.
5. Set slave type to “Vari” by the SETUP mode “Slave type
setting.”
Refer to page “106”, SETUP mode “Slave type setting” for
operating procedure and details.
6. Press the [DISP SEL] key while holding down the [SHIFT]
key, to change the time base display to MTC.
The position (ABS 0 or 001BAR/1BEAT/00CLK) when the
setup MTC (MTC offset time) should be output was setup
by the “MTC offset time setting” and “MTC offset mode
setting.” In accordance to start time of the tune set by the
sequence software, setup as explained below.
Offset mode: For ABS
Set the MTC offset time about three seconds prior to the
start time of the tune set by the sequence software.
Because the recorder cannot immediately chase lock after
input of MTC, in order to sync the unit from head of the
tune, set the preroll using the sequence software, and
playback from before the actual head of the tune to allow
the recorder to enter into sync by the time it arrives at
the head of the tune.
Offset mode: For BAR/BEAT
The MTC offset time can be set to the same time as the
start time of the tune set by the sequence software.
Because the “ABS 0” position is set at the “0002BAR/
1BEAT/00CLK” position in the unit, as mentioned before,
the preceding time required for sync is already set.
The preceding time of two bar lengths could change in
length depending on the first bar’s “signature setting” and
“tempo setting” mentioned before. For example, it will
be longer if the tempo is slowed down.
