On the AI-2 front panel, the LTC LED will illuminate when valid time
code is being received at the rear panel reader input. If the LED
does not light or is flickering then check the time code cable or the
output level of the time code source.
3.6 EXTERNAL MIDI INTERFACING MIDI
MACHINE CONTROL
The AI-2 can be controlled from a MIDI controller or software
program that generates MIDI Machine Control (MMC) commands.
MIDI Machine Control commands and responses will operate
simultaneously with either the Editor or Lynx-2/Micro Lynx
synchronizer controllers. The AI-2 permits the seamless integration
of ADAT transports into the electronic music studio as MIDI
programs designed to control the BRC or ADAT machines can be
operated without configuring the system.
MIDI Machine Control commands are fed to the AI-2 using a
standard MIDI cable to the MIDI IN connector in the control section
of the AI-2 rear panel. MIDI Machine Control responses will appear
at the MIDI OUT connector. The MIDI out connector also optionally
includes MIDI time code.
