When finished, press ENTER to stop writing. Note: Writing activity “locks up” the
Emulator II. In order to proceed with other functions, de-activate the module. To
continue the Slider A setup procedure, re-activate EXT CLK.
Hint:
After recording a click track, play it back into the Emulator II via the SMPTE
IN jack and play a Sequence (see SEQUENCER PLAY) to make sure that the
click track was recorded at the right level and that there are no drop-outs or other
problems. With most -10 dBV standard gear, the click signal will need to be pre-
amplified in order to drive the Emulator II. Most +4 dBm standard gear delivers
sufficient output to drive the Emulator II. If the click track bleeds over into other
channels of the tape, try lowering the record level a bit and amplifying the signal
coming from the tape output.
Note:
Remember that the MET OUT outputs a trigger that occurs at the
metronome rate; this trigger can be used for triggering synthesizer arpeggiators,
electronic drum pads, event generators, and so on. For more information, see
SEQUENCER SETUP 3 (“Auto Correct”).
5. Moving Slider A upwards gives the following display:
SMPTE Rate: 24fps
Use Slider D
This chooses the SMPTE frames-per-second rate. Slider D chooses between the
following options:
24 fps (frames per second) = The standard frame rate for film
25 fps = The standard frame rate for European television and video
30 fps = The standard frame rate for American television and video.
When the display shows the desired SMPTE frame rate, proceed to the next
setup step.
6. Move Slider A upwards to the next step in the Ext Clock setup routine. The
display says:
SMPTE dropfr: no
Press Y/N
You may read or write SMPTE code in either dropframe or non-dropframe
modes. Dropframe mode compensates for the time error in color television. To
set up for outputting dropframe code press YES. Then write SMPTE to tape as
usual. When you read a SMPTE track into the Emulator II the mode it was
originally recorded in is detected. The dropframe or non-dropframe mode is
automatically set.
