Confirming Mtc Sync/Mmc; Execution Of Recording - Fostex D2424LVmk2 Reference Manual

Model D2424LVmkII Reference Manual (MIDI Sync Function)
* Initial setting:
* Permissible setup ID:
* This item will be the setting common to all programs.
* This setting cannot be saved/loaded as song data.
* This setting will be held even though power is switched OFF.
Refer to page " 120 ", SETUP mode "Setting the MIDI device number" for operating procedure and details.
(6) Press the [DISP SEL] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key to show time base in the MTC display.
<Notes on MTC related setups>
By " MTC offset time setting " and " MTC offset mode setting ," at what position (ABS 0 or 001BAR/1BEAT/
00CLK) should the setup MTC (MTC offset time) is to be output is set. When setting the start time of
the tune in the sequence software by these setups, be careful of the following points.
• Offset mode: For ABS
If playback is started from ABS 0, since MTC will be output starting from the MTC offset time that has
been set, the start time of the tune set by the sequence software must be set about 3 seconds later
from the MTC offset time that was setup. This will provide time because the sequence software
cannot sync immediately after MTC is output. For example, if the initial setting of " 00H 59M 57S 00F
00SF " is used, set the start time of the tune to " 01H 00M 00S 00F ."
If playback is thus started from ABS 0 (LOCATE ABS 0), sync will be obtained by the time it reaches
the first bar and therefore it can be made to sync from the head of the tune.
• Offset mode: For BAR BEAT
As mentioned before, because the " ABS 0 " position is set at the " 002BAR / 1BEAT / 00CLK " position, the
setup MTC offset time can be set to the head of the tune without taking into account the time until
reaching sync, as mentioned above. The length of the time two bars beforehand will change in
accordance to the first bar setting for " signature" and " tempo ." For example, it will be long if the
tempo is set slow. This mode can be effectively applied when using the MIDI clock and MTC in
parallel, and when using MTC for the sync signal while controlling the recorder with time base BAR/
BEAT/CLK.

• Confirming MTC sync/MMC

(1) During recording and at playback after recording, time base MTC is displayed according to the setting and MTC
is output at the same time.
Check that the recorder traveling position (MTC) and the traveling position of the sequence software in sync are
matched.
(2) Send MMC commands such as PLAY, STOP and LOCATE from the sequence software to see that the recorder
will be properly controlled.
When a correct MIDI command (MMC or FEX) is received, "MIDI" in the display will be lit for about 40msec.
There is no setting in the recorder to receive MMC or FEX but it will operate if a correct MIDI signal is input.
* If sync and control cannot be done correctly, re-check connections/cables and the setting of both equipment.

• Execution of recording

Carry out various recordings while synchronizing the recorder and a MIDI sequencer with the
MIDI clock.
