Roland SBX-1000 - Manual (Page 4)

O Tempo Controller Operation
When the tempo controller is played, the above data
are sent to the selected output according to the
settings, (cr P.30, “Manual I ”)
O Sequencer Operation
When playback of the sequencer is executed from the
sequencer itself, the above data is sent. When
sequencer playback is controlled by the cue sheet or
the tempo controller, this data is not sent.
■ MIDI Update
MIDI Update is a function used when playing back data
from the middle of a sequence; it changes all relevant MIDI
settings of the connected sound sources to match the
position from which playback is started.
O Cue Sheet Section
When playback is started, the SBX-1000 searches
backwards for all events (with the exception of note
on, exclusive and GPI) from the point of playback to
the zero SMPTE position. If events are found, it
transmits the data of the last event that precedes the
point of playback,
O Sequencer Section
When only the sequencer section is played back, the
MIDI Update function can be set manually, for
transmitting all data (except note events) from the
beginning of the song until the current position. From
the sequencer screen, press | PLAY | while holding
down I SHIFT I, wait until the “MIDI Update" message
in the display disappears, then start playback.

I SMPTE Time Code
TEMPO
SMPTE time code is a standard developed by SMPTE (the
Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers), and is
commonly used for creating address points in video tape for
editing purposes.
The time code is expressed by a time indication: hours,
minutes, seconds and frames. Each address point is
assigned to a single frame of the image.
There are four types of time code (<=r “Time Code Rates"),
depending on the different standards of TV signals.
■ SMPTE Time Code Generator
The section that generates SMPTE time code is called the
time code generator.
When the SMPTE sync mode is set to "INT," the time code
generator generates SMPTE time code and plays the cue
sheet. It also simultaneously transmits the time code signals
from the TIMECODE OUT terminal.
Since the time code generator is built into the SBX-1000,
time code can be recorded on a tape that contains no
recorded time code.
■ SMPTE Time Code Reader
The section that reads external SMPTE time code is called
the time code reader.
When the SMPTE sync mode is set to “EXT," the time code
reader reads the time code received from the TIMECODE
IN terminal and plays the cue sheet and tempo controllor. It
also retransmits the time code received from TIMECODE IN
through the TIMECODE OUT terminal.
■ SMPTE Sync Mode
This control allows selection between operation of the
SBX-1000 by Its internal time code generator or external
control by external SMPTE signals.
When this is set to “INT," the SBX-1000 is controlled by the
time code from the internal SMPTE time code generator.
The time code is also transmitted through the SMPTE
TIMECODE OUT terminal.
When this is set to "EXT," the SBX-1000 is controlled by the
time code received from the SMPTE TIMECODE IN
terminal. The signals received at the SMPTE TIMECODE IN
terminal are also retransmitted directly through the SMPTE
TIMECODE OUT terminal.
<> How to access this function on the SBX-1000:
Press [TIME CODE INT/EXT | from either the [ Cue
Sheet Play] screen or the [Tempo Play] screen.
■ Active Sensing Data(Active Sensing) EJJ3I
These MIDI messages are used to determine whether or
not the MIDI cable has been disconnected or damaged.
Once a MIDI instrument first receives this data, it expects to
