Receive And Synchronize To Midi Clock - Roland MV-8000 Owner's Manual

Receive and synchronize to MIDI Clock

MIDI Clock messages from an externally connected sequencer or recorder ("master
device") can be received by the MV-8000, causing the MV-8000 to operate in
synchronization as a slave device.
The example given below is a setup in which a sequencer is the master device, and the
MV-8000 receives MIDI Clock messages at its MIDI IN.
1
Connect your sequencer to the MV-8000.

Set the synchronization parameters.
Here you will set parameters to specify how MIDI Clock synchronization will occur.
Refer to the table below, and make the appropriate settings on the MV-8000 and on the
externally connected master device (the sequencer or recorder that is transmitting the
synchronization signals). For details on how to make settings on your master device,
refer to its owner's manual.

Using the MV-8000 with external devices
Sequencer
When the MV-8000 is
operating as a synchronization
slave, the synchronization
signals can be received
through either the MV-8000's
MIDI IN connector or the
MIDI IN connector of the
DIF-AT24. However, you must
set the Sync Mode (p. 69) to
specify the connector through
which the synchronization
signals are to be received.
For an explanation of the other
parameters, refer to the
MV-8000 Owner's Manual
SYNC screen.
When synchronized as a MIDI
Clock slave, "Wait Note" of the
Count In setting is not
available.
