MIDI sync setting :
Internal With a setting of Internal, the RM1x will use its own internal clock. Select this setting if you are using the RM1x by
itself or as the master device in a system that is synchronized by MIDI Clock messages.
MIDI With a setting of MIDI, the RM1x will be controlled by MIDI Clock messages received from MIDI IN. Select this setting
if you are using the RM1x as a slave device for synchronized play. This is the setting to use when synchronizing the
RM1x to an external MIDI device.
MTC MTC is an acronym for MIDI Time Code, and is a type of timecode that can be exchanged between MIDI device via a
MIDI cable. MTC indicates time as "hours:minutes: seconds:frames". One second consists of 30 frames.
The RM1x does not output MTC. If you wish to syncronize using MTC, you will need a device that is able to output
MTC such as Yamaha MD8.

Function
Selects whether the RM1x will use its own internal clock or whether
it will use MIDI Clock or MTC messages received from the MIDI IN
connector.
You will need to make this setting when synchronizing the RM1x
with external MIDI devices.
See the MIDI sync setting below.
Specifies the delay from when MIDI Time Code is received until
when the sequencer is started, in hours:minutes: seconds:frames.
When synchronizing with an MTC-compatible MTR etc., use this
setting to make the song begin simultaneously.
Determines whether MIDI Song Position Pointer (F2), Start (FA),
Continue (FB), and Stop (FC) data will be transmitted and/or re-
ceived by the RM1x.
When "OFF" none of the above data is transmitted or received.
When "IN" the above data is received only.
When "OUT" the above data is transmitted only.
When "IN/OUT" the above data is both transmitted and received.
Echo Back is a function by which data received at a MIDI IN con-
nector is re-transmitted from a MIDI OUT connector. These param-
eters are the echo back settings.
