Chapter 12: MIDI applications

Synchronizing the DPS12 to an external device (MTC)

In this example, the DPS12 is used as a sync slave device. MTC (MIDI timecode) is supplied from an external
MIDI sequencer or computer-based sequence software to the DPS12, which will synchronize to the MIDI se-
quencer operation. This method is useful when you are using a device that cannot be used as a slave device in the
sync system (such as an analog MTR).

1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the DPS12’s MIDI IN jack and the MIDI sequencer’s MIDI OUT jack.

2. Move the cursor to the 

SLCT:

 field, then turn the [JOG] dial to recall the SYNC Control Panel.

3. Move the cursor to the  

Type

 field, and turn the [JOG] dial to select  

MTC/SLAVE

.

4. Press the [F6] key to set the 

SYNC

 field to 

ON

.

5. To change the frame rate of the MTC (default = 30, non-drop), move the cursor to the 

SLCT:

 field,

turn the [JOG] dial to recall the TIME DISPLAY Control Panel.

6. Move the cursor to the 

Frame rate:

 field, and set the frame rate of the MTC to the rate of the

syncing device. Options are 

24

, 

25

, 

30

 (30, non-drop), 

29.97

, 

30D

 (30, drop).

7. Press the DPS12’s PLAY button.

The following window appears.
