Synchronization settings
Synchronizing as a slave (MTC)
V-Producer can synchronize as a MTC slave.
Use the following procedure to set V-Producer so that it will operate
according to MTC.
1
ChooseOption - MIDI Sync.
2
In the Sync Mode dialog box, set the Sync IN field IN to the MIDI device
that you will use to input the synchronization signal.
* If you are synchronizing to a MIDI sequencer that is running on the same
computer, select "Roland VariOS Sync" as the MIDI device.

3
In the Sync IN field Type of sync, choose "MIDI Time Code."
* You can obtain the same result by pressing the [MTC] button in the locator section.
4
Click [OK]. V-Producer will now synchronize to the master playback.
* If the Sync mode is "MTC," you will not be able to start playback from the locator
controls. If you want to play back using the locator controls, switch the Sync mode
to "INT."
* After V-Producer receives MTC clock messages, it requires approximately two
seconds of adjustment time before synchronized playback can begin. If you want to
synchronize V-Producer from the beginning of the song, please insert two or more
seconds of blank space at the beginning of the song on the master device.
Synchronization settings on the master device
For details on how to make MTC master settings in your other software or
external device, refer to the manual for your software or device.
If you are using another program installed in the same computer as the
master, and want to synchronize V-Producer to that program, select
"Roland VariOS Sync" as the MIDI device to which MTC will be
transmitted. This will allow synchronization to occur without having to
send the data through an external MIDI interface.

Since V-Producer will
automatically set its
reception SMPTE Frame
Rate to match the
transmitting device, you do
not need to set V-
Producer's SMPTE Frame
Rate when synchronizing it
as a slave.
