As "ould be expected from an up to the minute instrument, the
BIT
MASTER KEYBOARD's sequencer is versatile, and will happily work in
tandem with your other sequencers or drum ~achines - and also with
the co~puters that are gradually finding their "ay into ~any a
~usician's keyboard set up. The following parameters are used to
configure the HASTER KEYBOARD sequencer when working with these
machines: we've taken all the pain out of interfacing wjth the
outside world! It's now simple to co-ordin~te features like the Clock
- for perfect ti,ekeeping - and synchronize START/STOP commands too.
I FUNCTION 4A CCLK. SOURCE]
In this para•eter you tell the sequencer just which clock to watch, or
listen for, according to which of the sequencers etc. in your set-up
is acting as what you could call 'official tî1e-keeper'.
The default setting for FUNCTION
4A
is
LOCAL - shown as •Le•
CENTER display - where
the
sequencer remains its o"n lord and
and uses the internal clock for orientation.
in the
11aster
One step up using the
"+"
button, you'll find the HlDI CLOCK setting
(nMd• in the display). This synchronizes the sequencer to an incoming
HlDI
CLOCK signal, originating in another HID! unit with HIDI CLOCK
capability. You can also synchronize the "ASTER KEYBOARD sequencer to
incoming timekeeping data arriving
at
the SYNC-IN or TAPE-SYNC-IN
sockets (on the back panel). You'll need to hit the
u+"
button one
~ore time, so that
•sy•
appears in the display.
The BIT NASTER
KEYBOARD sequencer can
also
act
as
time-keeper for
other units connected to the
SYNC OUT
socket,
It
will trans1it a
clock signal to Tape Machines, which th2 HASTER KEYBOARD will later
recognize and use for perfect syncronization to your taped recording,
This signal should be recorded on a
~eparate
Tape Track. As the on-
board sequencer is acting as the 'aa5ter' here, FUNCTIO~ 4A ~ust be
set to
nlcu,
activating the internal clock. (Note that the
•sy•
setting is only used when the
HASTER KEYBOARD
sequencer is receiving
synchronization data),

FUNCTION

[START-STOP CONTINUE]
Co-ordination of the START/STOP and CONTINUE commands with e~ternal
units works in a similar
way:
you can tell the sequencer which
com~ands to ac~ on, i.e. which STOP button is relevant.
Setting •Le"
here will enable only local commands; if you only want to start or
stop the sequencer via MIDI commands from another unit set "Nd~. For
co~plete flexibility, you can choose the value •bH• - which lets you
start the sequencer from either "STOP/START" button! (Choose values
using the •+;-n buttons and check the current setting in the RIGHT
display).
