Synchronized Playback With The Cdx-1 As The Master; Using Mtc (Master) - Roland DiscLab CDX-1 Owner's Manual

Using the CDX-1 with other MIDI devices
Synchronized playback with the CDX-1
as the master
The CDX-1 can operate in synchronization with a MIDI sequencer. Synchronization
can be accomplished using MTC (MIDI Time Code).
Master and slave
When the CDX-1 plays in synchronization with a MIDI sequencer, the device that
transmits the time data is called the master. The device that receives the time data
transmitted by the reference device (master) and follows this data is called the slave.
When playing in synchronization with a MIDI sequencer, the CDX-1 can be
used as the master (transmitting) device, but not as the slave (receiving)
device. Also, the MIDI sequencer must be set as the slave (receiving) device.

Using MTC (master)

1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the CDX-1 and your MIDI sequencer as shown in
the diagram.
