Cubase / Cubase Audio
There are two types of messages that we can use to synchronize Cubase with the VS-880, MIDI Time Code or MIDI
Clock messages. Because the VS-880 can function as a master or slave to MIDI Time Code, we will use that instead
of MIDI Clock (the VS-880 does not slave to MIDI Clock).
Use the following procedure to synchronize the VS-880 as a slave to Cubase.
Connections:
1) Connect the MIDI OUT port of your MIDI interface to the MIDI IN port of the VS-880.
2) Connect the MIDI OUT port of the VS-880 to the MIDI IN port of your MIDI interface.
