Adjusting the Xone:Sync DIN offset
When sending external MIDI Clock via the MIDI SYNC / OUT port, you can offset the signal in
order to time-align the synchronisation of external hardware devices, which compensates for the
inherent latency when syncing external devices.
NOTE: It is not possible to adjust the MIDI Clock offset via USB when synchronising
external software. This is achieved through the software MIDI preferences.
Please refer to your software application documentation for details how to do this.
MIDI Clock Tempo Bend
When sending external MIDI Clock via the USB or the
MIDI SYNC / OUT port, you can bend the tempo to momentarily
speed up or slow down the MIDI Clock signal in order to time-align
the synchronisation of external software and hardware devices.
To access the MIDI Clock Tempo Bend controls, press the MODE
button to access the BLUE layer.
By holding down either the TEMPO BEND DOWN button (<) or the
TEMPO BEND UP button (>), you can momentarily speed up or slow
down the MIDI Clock output, much like beat matching, in order to
time-align the phase of the external software or hardware.
To access the DIN offset control, hold down the FX SELECT control
to enter the CONFIG menu..
Use the FX SELECT control to scroll down to highlight DIN OFFSET.
