Midi Beat Clock Routing - OPCODE STUDIO 4 Instruction

There are two timecode columns:
• The column on the left always repre-
sents the Studio 4 assigned to MIDI
ports 1-8.
• The column on the right always rep-
resents the Studio 4 assigned to MIDI
ports 9-16.
If your network contains only one
Studio 4, then the RCM window will look
like Figure 7.21. Use the left column
(labeled "Timecode") to route timecode
from the Studio 4 to any MIDI device(s).
The right column is not used and is unla-
beled since there is only one Studio 4.

If your network contains two Studio 4's,
then the RCM window will look like
Figure 7.22. Use the left column (labeled
"Timecode 1-8") to route timecode from
the Studio 4 assigned to MIDI ports 1-8.
Use the right column (labeled
"Timecode 9-16") to route timecode from
the Studio 4 assigned to MIDI ports 9-16.

MIDI BEAT CLOCK ROUTING

Routing MIDI Beat Clock with the
Studio 4 requires special consideration
since the Studio 4 can route only one
source of MIDI beat clock at a time. If you
try routing two or more separate beat
clock sources into the Studio 4, they will
merge together making synchronization
impossible.
IMPORTANT: Never route more than one
source of MIDI Beat Clock to the Studio 4
at any time. Always use the RCM window
to mute any unnecessary beat clock inputs
and outputs.
The most common use of MIDI beat clock
is to synchronize drum machines and
hardware sequencers to each other or to a
Macintosh MIDI sequencer. The follow-
ing sections discuss some common beat
clock routing problems and their
solutions.
