Value Explanation
MASTER, When synchronizing the Fantom-Xa with a hard disk recorder, such as one from the Roland VS
SLAVE series, specify which synchronization signal the Fantom-Xa's sequencer will use for operation.
MASTER: The Fantom-Xa will be the master. Use this setting when you want other devices to
follow the operation of the Fantom-Xa.
SLAVE: The Fantom-Xa will be the slave. Use this setting when you want the Fantom-Xa to
receive MMC (MIDI Machine Control) from an external device and operate accordingly.
OFF, ON Turn this "ON" if you want to synchronize with a hard disk recorder, such as one from the Ro-
land VS series.
When set "ON," MMC (MIDI Machine Control) related commands (Play, Stop and Locate)
will be transmitted.
OFF, ON Set this parameter "ON" when you want MTC (MIDI Time Code) to be transmitted to an exter-
nal MIDI device. If not, set it "OFF."
24, 25, 29N, MTC frame rate
29D, 30
Make sure that the same mode is set in both master and slave devices.
24: 24 frames per second
25: 25 frames per second
29N: 29 frames per second, non-drop format
29D: 29 frames per second, drop format
30: 30 frames per second, non-drop format
* When synchronizing with a hard disk recorder such as the Roland VS series, any frame rate is all
right—as long as the setting matches that of the Fantom-Xa. However, when synchronizing operation
with video devices such as video decks, the video device's frame rate is fixed, so the Fantom-Xa's setting
must correspond to that frame rate.
0–23 (hours) Coordinates the playback timing of the Fantom-Xa and the external device in an hour units.
0–59 (minutes) Coordinates the playback timing of the Fantom-Xa and the external device in a minute units.
0–59 (seconds) Coordinates the playback timing of the Fantom-Xa and the external device in a second units.
