Synchronizing MIDI
For synchronization the MIDI specification provides for MIDI Clock, MIDI Clock with song
pointer information, and MIDI Time Code. Other manufactures have provided their own
proprietary methods of MIDI synchronization, the most common being OMS by Opcode, and
DTL by Mark of the Unicorn.
To Synchronize NuVerb Automation you need:
• A source of MIDI Time Code. Regular Time Code must be convertedto MIDI Time Code,
(Seebelow.)
• A Midi Interface for your computer
(For information on using MIDI Manager to connect the MIDI Time Code source to
NuVerb see: About MIDI Manager)
NuVerb Uses MIDI Time Code for synchronization. It must be connected to the program using
the MIDI Manager™ from an external source. A MIDI interface is required to get your source
of MIDI Time Code into the computer. Many of the more sophisticated MIDI interfaces also
provide synchronization capabilities, often with MIDI Time Code as one of the options.
Sources of Time Code for synchronizing NuVerb
Many sources of Time Code exist. A sampling is presented below. Most of these sources,
however, do not provide MIDI Time Code, and their time code will, therefore, require
conversion for NuVerb.
Possible sources of Time Code for NuVerb:
• A multitrack tape analog or digital with Time Code recorded on one of the tracks
• A Digital tape deck (ADAT, DA88 etc) that outputs Time Code
• A Hard Disk Recorder/Digital Audio Workstation(DAW) that outputs Time Code
• Time Code that your tape deck or (DAW) is synchronizing to, often from a video source
or from another audio source.
