Synchronization using MIDI clock

The following describes how to synchronize a sequencer to the MR16 using MIDI clock.
Use this method if the sequencer does not support MTC (MIDI Time code).
<Notes>
• To synchronize a sequencer to the MR16 using MIDI clock, you have to make the signature/
tempo map in the MR16.
The MIDI clock is output based on the signature/tempo map in the MR16.
When you record MIDI sounds, synchronize the sequencer to the MIDI clock fed from the
MR16.
• Generally, a sequencer supporting MIDI song position pointer as well as MIDI clock can
synchronize to the MR16 when you start playback of the MR16 from the middle of a song.
It locates the current song position and chases the MR16.
However, note that some sequencer may not synchronize to the MR16.
As with the connection for MTC synchronization, connect the [MIDI OUT] connector of the MR16 to the
[MIDI IN] connector of an external MIDI sequencer using a MIDI cable.
1) Set the "Midi Sync Out" item in the "System" menu of the menu mode to "Clk".
See "MIDI sync/MTC frame rate settings" described above about how to set.
2) Create the signature/tempo map by setting "Signature Map" and "Tempo Map" items in the "Song"
menu of the menu mode appropriately.
See "Using the rhythm guide function" on page 90 for details about how to set these items.
3) Enable the external MIDI sequencer to synchronize to MIDI clock.
See the operation manual of the sequencer for details.
4) Press the [PLAY] key of the MR16 to start playback.
The sequencer also starts playback in sync with the MR16.
