Real-Time Automix - Yamaha 02R Version 2 Manual

Real-time Automix

These tutorials have assumed you are using your 02R with one or more of
the optional I/O cards installed and a multitrack recorder connected. In
this section, you will be synchronizing your multitrack recorder to the 02R.
There are three basic ways of doing this:
• If your multitrack recorder is equipped with a SMPTE timecode output
connector, you use an audio cable to connect it to the SMPTE
TIME CODE INPUT jack on the rear panel of the 02R.
• Use an external SMPTE timecode generator if your multitrack recorder
cannot output SMPTE time. You need to record timecode onto one of
the tracks of your multitrack recorder and connect the output from that
track directly to the SMPTE TIME CODE INPUT jack on the rear panel
of the 02R.
• Use a MIDI sequencer to send MTC (MIDI timecode) or MIDI Clocks to
the 02R as well as your multitrack recorder. Connect a MIDI cable to
the MTC TIME CODE INPUT jack on the rear panel of the 02R.
There is an additional option—you can automate the 02R using its internal
timecode generator. However, you cannot synchronize with an external
device as the 02R has no timecode output connectors. This mode is effective
for learning how to use the automix system.
