MIDI functions

This unit can generate MIDI TIME CODE and MIDI CLOCK when
the recorder is playing back or recording.
The generated MIDI data is output from the MIDI OUT connector
and simultaneously sent to a computer connected by USB.
A DAW, for example, can be set to synchronize with the MIDI
time code from this unit so it can operate in time with the
recorder of this unit.
For details, check the operation manual of the hardware or
software product being used.
