Setting Midi Sync Output Signal; Setting An Mtc Frame Rate - Fostex VF08 Owner's Manual

Setting MIDI sync output signal ["Midi Sync Out"]
The "Setting MIDI sync output signal" menu enables you to select the type of MIDI sync signals output from
the MIDI OUT connector on the rear panel of the VF08 to an external MIDI device.
The options are MIDI clock & Song Position Pointer, or MTC (MIDI time code). Select an appropriate option
depending on the type of signal supported by the connected MIDI device.
If you select MIDI clock & Song Position Pointer, first you need to set the time signatures and tempo as
described previously. If you select MTC, you first need to set the MTC frame rate, the MTC offset time, and the
MTC offset mode as described later.
• Initial setting: [Mtc]
• Option: [CLK] (clock & Song Position Pointer),
[MTC] (MIDI time code), or [Off] (no

individually.

song data.

The "Setting an MTC frame rate" menu enables you to set the frame rate for MTC output from the MIDI OUT
connector of the VF08 to an external MIDI device. If you have already set the type of MIDI sync output signal

sequence software).
