3: RECORDING THE SYNC TEMPO DATA
TEMPO DATA AND THE
MSS1 INTERNAL
MEMORV
CONFIGURATION
SELECTING AND
NAMING A BANK
FOR RECORDING
The main
purpose
of the MSSI
is to generate
MIDI
timing signals which
are
svnchronized to a SMPTE time code signal received from an audio or video tape.
The MIDI timing signals generated are used to svnchronize MIDI equipment (se-
quencers, rhvthm programmers, a digital mixer such as the Vamaha
DMP7
Digital
Mixing Processor, etc.) to material recorded on tape.
Since the SMPTE time code
provides a precise time index but no tempo information, the tempo data required
by the music being worked on must be recorded into the MSS1's internal memory.
Tempo data can be recorded using any of the three methods outlined below.
The MSS1
has 10 internal memory "BANKS," each of which can be individually
selected, given a title, and used to record tempo data. The data for ten 10 individual
"pieces" can therefore be separately recorded, selected and played back. The BANKS
can also be played back in sequence using the CHAIN
PLAY function described
in the next section. A total of 7178 beats can be recorded in all 10 BANKS
(max.
7168 in one bank). In terms of playing time, that's approximately 60 minutes at a
tempo of 120 in 4/4 time.
Selecting a Bank (0 — 9)

was in and press the
BANK key again.

bank number will be displayed on the BANK/COMMAND
area of the MIDI
data LED display. The YES> and «NO keys can also be used to move between
banks.
