Master/Slave Operation Via Rs422 - Akai DR16 pro Operator's Manual

MIDI Synchronization Notes
Although the Fast Forward and Rewind keys will function correctly during synchronization to MIDI,
the MIDI timecode information and MIDI clock commands are not transmitted. Therefore, the con-
nected external devices are stopped during these operations.
If you operate the DR16pro Play and Stop keys or a connected footswitch (Play W Stop W Play
W Stop W Play) very quickly during MIDI clock synchronization, the external MIDI device may not
be able to respond quickly enough and the playback sound may slip.
If you use varispeed playback during MIDI timecode or clock synchronization, the external MIDI
device may not be able to respond quickly enough and the playback sound may slip.
If you use high-varispeed playback during MIDI timecode or clock synchronization, the DR16pro
may stop outputting MIDI timecode or clock, resulting in failed synchronization.
About MIDI Machine Control
The MIDI Exclusive Command and MIDI machine Control specifications of the DR16pro conform
to the MIDI Machine Control RP (Recommended Practice) Version 1.00. This allows you to control
the DR16pro using the MMC protocol. Connect an external controller to the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT
terminals of the IB-803M MIDI interface board installed in your DR16pro.
MMC commands can be sent to the DR16pro at anytime.
All external MMC controllers must have an ID number that should match the ID setting on the
DR16pro. However, if a controller is set to generate a BROADCAST ID (ID number 127), any ID
number can be set on the DR16pro.
