MIDI functions
The MD4S is an ideal device for recording vocals, guitar, or other acoustic instruments, but by
using its MIDI functionality you can synchronize it with a MIDI sequencer or with another
MD4S, or control the transport of the MD4S from an external MIDI device. This section
explains how to use the MIDI functionality of the MD4S.
Synchronizing the MD4S with a MIDI sequencer
The MD4S allows you to select either "MTC" or "MIDI Clock" synchronization data for out-
put from its MIDI OUT connector. This synchronization data can be transmitted to a MIDI
sequencer to make the MIDI sequencer follow and synchronize to the MD4S. In this type of
synchronized MIDI system, the MD4S will be the master and the MIDI sequencer will be the
slave.
Connecting the MD4S with a MIDI system
The MD4S can be connected to a synchronized MIDI sequencer system in a wide variety of
ways, but the most common setup is for acoustic sounds to be recorded on the MD4S, and
other parts to be played by the sequencer on a MIDI tone generator. In such a system, you
would monitor the sounds of the MIDI tone generator as you recorded vocals and guitar to
the MD4S. Then during mixdown, you would mix the playback of the MD4S with the sound
from the MIDI tone generator (See page 42).
