Fostex D2424 - Manual (Page 77)

Model D2424 Reference Manual (MIDI Sync Function)
77
* If correct sync cannot be obtained, re-check the connections/cables and setting of both equipment.
In the recorder, the “ABS 0” position is set at “002BAR/1BEAT /00CLK.”
This setting is made in consideration of the time required (it will not sync immediately) for the MIDI sequencer,
etc. to enter into sync. As a result, if the recorder is played back from ABS 0 (LOCATE ABS 0), sync will be
completed by the time it reaches the first bar, and will thus synchronize from head of the tune.
Execution of recording
Various ways of recording can be conducted while synchronizing the recorder and the MIDI
sequencer with the MIDI clock.
MTC sync/MIDI machine control system
The following will explain synchronization by the MTC (MIDI time code) output and the computer
controlling system using MMC (MIDI machine control). In this system, the recorder will be the
master and the computer (with sequence software) will be the slave. The recorder will attach
any desired offset (time difference) against ABS time (absolute time) and output it as MTC in any
desired frame rate. It can also carry out the proper operation upon receiving an MMC and
Fostex System Exclusive Message from outside. In this case, because the recorder can setup a
DEVICE ID number by the SETUP mode “MIDI Device ID Setting” menu, a multiple number of the
unit’s can be separately controlled by changing the DEVICE ID numbers in the transmitted message
from the computer. In regards to the corresponding content for MMC, refer to the “MMC list” on
page “132” and on the Fostex System Exclusive Message, the “Fostex Exclusive List” on page
“133.”
* Set the recorder in the initial state.
* Confirm the program and sampling frequency.
