Some Popular Sequencers

Vision

With Vision we recommend that you use Mac Syncman in
SMPTE/MIDI Time Code Mode

. To do this, make sure that the

OFF/MTC and DTL/MTC dip-switches are both Down. On Mac
Syncman select the SMPTE format you wish to use. We suggest 30
Frames which means the two left most dip-switches should both be
Down. Now, with Vision, do the following:

Go into the Options Menu and:

Set Receive Sync Mode to MIDI Time Code.
Set Receive Sync Port to printer port.
Set SMPTE Format to 30 Non-drop (or whatever other . . . . . . . . . . . .

SMPTE your job may otherwise dictate)

Go into the Sequence Window and:

Click on the Offset Value and:

Set to the desired value (we recommend that you set . . . . . . . . . . . . .

this to around 5 seconds.).

Press Play on the Transport.

Optional - Go into the Options Menu and:

Select Counter display and:

Set to Both (SMPTE & Mes/Bts/Pulses).

Performer

With Performer versions 3.3 and later we recommend that you use Mac
Syncman in SMPTE/MIDI Time Code Mode. To do this, make sure that
the OFF/MTC and DTL/MTC dip-switches are both Down. On Mac
Syncman select the SMPTE format you wish to use. We suggest 30
Frames which means the two left most dip-switches should both be
Down. Now with Performer do the following:
