MR-8mkII Owner's Manual (MIDI synchronization)
The following describes how to synchronize a sequencer to the MR-8mkII which supports MTC
(MIDI Time code).
Connect the [MIDI OUT] connector of the MR-8mkII to the [MIDI IN] connector of an external
MIDI sequencer using a MIDI cable. (Note that no MIDI cable is supplied with the MR-8mkII.
Use a commercially available MIDI cable.)
Settings of the MR-8mkII and MIDI sequencer
1)
Set the "Midi Sync Out" item in the "System"
menu of the menu mode to "MTC" and the "MTC
Frame Rate" to an appropriate frame rate.
See "MIDI sync/MTC frame rate settings"
described below for details.
2)
Enable the external MIDI sequencer to
synchronize to MTC.
See the operation manual of the sequencer for
details.
3)
Press the [PLAY] key of the MR-8mkII to start
playback.
The sequencer automatically starts playback
while synchronizing to the MR-8mkII
MIDI sync/MTC frame rate settings
While the MR-8mkII is stopped, you can set
the reference of MIDI synchronization to
"MTC" and the MTC frame rate appropriately
to match the sequencer.
<MTC start time>
The MTC from the MR-8mkII has one hour off-
set to the ABS time (the offset value is fixed).
Therefore, when you start the MR-8mkII from
the beginning of a song (ABS ZERO), the MTC
starts from "01h 00m 00s 00f".
