—Owner's Manual
In some cases, punch-in or ping-pong recording may not be possi-
ble on a song that was edited on an MD recorder other than the
MD4S or the Yamaha MD8/MD4. Use the Song Copy function to
copy the song, and perform the punch-in/out or ping-pong record-
ing operation on the copy.
If the song was recorded on an MD recorder other than the MD4S
or the Yamaha MD8/MD4, it is possible that the song may be copy-
protected (by SCMS). In this case, it will not be possible to perform
punch-in or ping-pong recording.
Make sure that the Pitch function is not set to VARI.
Make sure that the 1/2 Play function is turned off.
Make sure that the Last Record In/Out points have been set. If they
have been set, the IN/OUT point indicators will light.
Make sure that the Last Record Out point has not been set in a loca-
tion earlier than the Last Record In point.
Rotate the AUX control toward 1 or 2, and raise the channel fader.
Since the signal sent to the AUX SEND jacks is post-fader, no signal
will be sent to the AUX SEND jacks unless the channel fader is raised.
Make sure not all steps in the Cue List are set for zero repeats (n=0).
Make sure that the specified ranges within the cue list are correct.
Make sure that no non-existent markers are selected in the cue list.
Make sure that your MIDI sequencer supports MTC or MIDI Clock.
Make sure that the MIDI sequencer has been set to synchronize to
incoming MTC or MIDI Clock messages.
If you are using MIDI Clock, make sure that a tempo map has been
programmed in the MD4S.
(If the measure/beat display does not appear when you press the
DISPLAY button, a tempo map has not been set.)
Make sure that the MD4S has been set to transmit MTC or MIDI
Clock messages from its MIDI OUT connector. When MTC is being
transmitted, the MTC SYNC MASTER indicator will light. When MIDI
Clock is being transmitted, the MIDI CLK indicator will light.
Make sure that X1/2 Play is turned off. If X1/2 Play is on, synchroni-
zation is not possible.
If you are using a Repeat function such as A-B Repeat, some time
may be required for the MIDI sequencer to synchronize during a
repeat, due to the slowness of the MD4S locate function.
