Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.
The selected frame rate is stored and the display
returns to the indication with a flashing "?" that
appeared in step 2.
To cancel the setting operation, or to exit SETUP
mode after storing data, press the [STOP] button
or the [EXIT/NO] key. Each time you press one of
these keys, the recorder returns to the previous
hierarchy level of the menu, and finally exits
SETUP mode.
<Note>:
There are no 29.97nd or 29.97df in
the MTC standard.
Use either 30nd or 30df unless you definitely
need to synchronize the recorder with NTSC
video.

Setting an MTC offset value

The "Setting an MTC offset value" menu enables you
to specify an offset time value - the difference
between the time of MTC output from the recorder
and the ABS 00M 00S 00F 00SF time. You need to
specify this value if you have selected "MTC" for the
"Setting MIDI sync output signal" menu.
With the initial setting of 00h 59M 57S 00F 00SF,
for example, MTC of 59M 57S 00F 00SF is output at
the ABS time 00M 00S 00F 00SF. You can also set an
offset value from the 001bar 1beat 00clk value (bar/
beat) on the Tempo Map. Refer to the next section
for information on MTC Offset mode.
• Initial setting:
[00H: 59M: 57S: 00F: 00SF]
• Setting range of offset time :
00H: 00M: 00S: 00F: 00SF - 23H: 59M: 59S: 29F: 99SF
* You can set the value for each Program individually.
* The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the
song data.
* The settings are maintained after you turn off the
power to the recorder.
(1)
While the recorder is stopped, press the [SETUP]

Pressing the [EXECUTE/YES] key turns off the
flashing "?" character, and the value in seconds
flashes. You can enter a value at the flashing digit.
The number "57" of the initial setting "57S" flashes
as shown below.

Use the Shuttle dial to move the flashing cursor,
and turn the Jog dial to enter the desired offset
value.
For example, if you rotate the Jog dial on the
seconds digit up 59, turning the dial further will
increase the number on the digit of minute by one.

Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.
The selected offset value is stored and the display
returns to the indication with the flashing "?" that
appeared in step 2.
To cancel the setting operation, or to exit SETUP
mode after storing data, press the [STOP] button
or the [EXIT/NO] key. Each time you press one of
these keys, the recorder returns to the previous
hierarchy level of the menu, and finally exits
SETUP mode.
<Note>:
For example, if you set MTC Offset mode
to " ABS " (see the next section) and you wish to
start the song from MTC's 01H 00M 00S 00F, you
may wish to set a preroll of three seconds with
an MTC offset of 00H 59M 57S 00F.

Setting Offset mode

If you have selected "MTC" in the "Setting Offset
mode" menu, you need to select MTC Offset mode.
This menu enables you to determine whether the
specified MTC is output at ABS 00H 00M 00S 00F or
at 001bar 1beat 00clk (bar/beat) of the Tempo Map.
<Notes>
• As an example, if you set MTC Offset mode to "ABS"
and you wish to start the song from MTC's 1H 00M
00S 00F, you may want to set a preroll of three
seconds with MTC offset of 00H 59M 57S 00F.
If you select "BAR " as the MTC Offset mode, a preroll
of two measures is automatically set. Use 01H 00M
00S 00F; do not set a preroll value.
• If you set Offset mode to "BAR " and use MTC to
synchronize sequence software on the computer, the
tempo of the sequencer may sometimes slip
gradually. This is because the tempo of the recorder
and the tempo of the software are slightly different
even if both use the same tempo. Some sequence
software can read the tempo output from the
recorder correctly. We recommend that you use the
tempo of the recorder on the sequence software.
No such problems will occur if the sequence software
synchronizes the recorder via MIDI
of MTC.
• Initial setting:
• Offset mode option:
* You can set the mode for each Program individually.
* The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the
song data.
* The settings are maintained after you turn off the
power to the recorder.
