Synchronization settings

Synchronizing as a slave (MTC)

V-Producer can synchronize as a MTC slave.
Use the following procedure to set V-Producer so that it will operate
according to MTC.

1

Choose

Option - MIDI Sync

.

2

In the

Sync Mode

dialog box, set the

Sync IN

field

IN

to the MIDI device

that you will use to input the synchronization signal.

* If you are synchronizing to a MIDI sequencer that is running on the same

computer, select “Roland VariOS Sync” as the MIDI device.

In the

Sync IN

field Type of sync, choose

“MIDI Time Code.”

* You can obtain the same result by pressing the

[MTC]

button in the locator section.

4

Click

[OK]

. V-Producer will now synchronize to the master playback.

* If the Sync mode is

“MTC,”

you will not be able to start playback from the locator

controls. If you want to play back using the locator controls, switch the Sync mode
to

“INT.”

* After V-Producer receives MTC clock messages, it requires approximately two

seconds of adjustment time before synchronized playback can begin. If you want to
synchronize V-Producer from the beginning of the song, please insert two or more
seconds of blank space at the beginning of the song on the master device.

Synchronization settings on the master device

For details on how to make MTC master settings in your other software or
external device, refer to the manual for your software or device.
If you are using another program installed in the same computer as the
master, and want to synchronize V-Producer to that program, select

“Roland VariOS Sync”

as the MIDI device to which MTC will be

transmitted. This will allow synchronization to occur without having to
send the data through an external MIDI interface.

Since V-Producer will
automatically set its
reception SMPTE Frame
Rate to match the
transmitting device, you do
not need to set V-
Producer’s SMPTE Frame
Rate when synchronizing it
as a slave.
