MD4 & MIDI

Setting Up a Synchronized MIDI System

The following illustration shows how MD4 can be integrated into a MIDI-based recording sys-
tem. In this example, acoustic sounds are recorded to the MD4 and MIDI devices are controlled
by the MIDI sequencer, which receives MTC or MIDI Clock from MD4.
This example also shows how the MD4 DIRECT TRACK OUTs can be used to output signals
directly from the MD4 tracks. The individual track sounds are sent to the other mixer for mixing
with the sounds from the sequencer controlled MIDI instruments.
