External Midi Equipment Sync System By The Slave Mode - Fostex D-160 Owner's Manual

4. External MIDI equipment sync system by the slave mode

Up to this point, synchronization with external MIDI equipment has been explained with
the D-160 as the master and MIDI equipment as the slave but depending on the slave
mode setting, the MIDI equipment can be set as the master and D-160 as the slave.
External MIDI equipment which can be used as the master is limited to those which
can output MTC.
