settings with the CURSOR and VALUE knobs as
follows:
Mac Speed
☛
This setting applies to the “Mac” serial port on
the MIDI Timepiece AV. This setting has no effect
when you are using the MIDI Timepiece AV with a
Windows computer.
Network Connection and Box ID
NET PORT is used to describe what is connected to
the network port. Choices for BOX ID are 1-8 or
9-16. For Windows operation, this should always
be set to 1-8.
MMC Device ID
Use the VALUE knob to switch between two MMC
device settings: MTP AV and ADAT. For each one,
use the CURSOR and VALUE knobs to set the
MMC device ID’s for each. Make sure the ID’s are
different.
Running Status
By default, the MIDI Timepiece AV uses running
status on its output cables as prescribed by the
MIDI specification. Running status is a method of
data transmission that uses less data, thereby
conserving effort on the part of the MIDI
Timepiece AV and the receiving device.
Defeating running status solves problems with
devices that do not support it. Running Status is
about 25% more efficient than non-running status,
so don’t defeat it unless you have to. If you are not
sure whether a MIDI device uses running status,
and you encounter strange problems such as stuck
notes, try disabling running status on the output
cable to the device.
Use the VALUE knob to select the cable and the
YES/NO button to disable (or enable) running
status.
Direct Connect
Direct connect is a special mode that allows non-
standard MIDI data transmission between a MIDI
device and the computer. In this mode, all cable
merging is disabled. You may need to use Direct
Connect mode with hardware that does not
