Midi Clock Sync System; Connecting To External Equipment - Fostex VF80 Owner's Manual

Recording the VF80 stereo output signals digitally onto an external digital device
You can record the stereo output signal digitally onto an external digital device via the [S/P DIF/DATA OUTPUT]
connector.
You do not have to carry out any special operation for outputting an S/P DIF digital signal from the [S/P DIF/
DATA OUTPUT] connector, because it is always output there.
All you have to do for mixing down to an external digital device digitally is to connect the device to the [S/
P DIF/DATA OUTPUT] connector. You can perform the digital mixdown during the mixdown process described
in "Mixdown" of the "Basic recording/playback" chapter as well as in the mastering mode described in "Master-
ing mode" of this chapter.

MIDI clock sync system

By setting any desired meter at any desired point of the programmable tempo map contained in the VF80, and
by output of a MIDI clock and song position pointer according to the setting, a hardware type MIDI sequencer
can be synchronized as a MIDI clock slave. Consequently, in this system, the VF80 will be the master and the MIDI
sequencer the slave.
