conform to standard practices. For example, some
samplers require Direct Connect mode in order to
perform sample dump transfers to and from the
Mac. If you have difficulty with sysex transfers, try
Direct Connect mode.
☛
Note: the MIDI device must be connected to a
MIDI IN and a MIDI OUT with the same number.
Use the VALUE knob to select the cable that the
device is connected to.
☛
Important note: when the MIDI
Timepiece AV is in Direct Connect mode, it cannot
receive or send data from any other ports except
the direct connect ports.
Direct Connect mode can only be turned on and
off with the front panel LCD.
Reset All Data
This window resets the MIDI Timepiece AV to its
factory default settings.
☛
BEWARE! When you reset all data, you lose
everything in memory, including all modifiers and
any modifications you have made to the base
setups.
PERFORMING A MIDI DATA DUMP
The DATA DUMP window (selected with the
WINDOW knob) causes the MIDI Timepiece AV
to transmit several system exclusive messages to
the computer and to output cable 1. These
messages contain a description of the current state
of the MIDI Timepiece AV at the time of the bulk
dump (not including modifiers and base setups
other than the current base setup).
To initiate the bulk dump, press ENTER.
Receiving a MIDI data dump
To get the MIDI Timepiece AV to receive a MIDI
data dump, transmit the data dump from software
running on the Mac, or transmit it from a
sequencer or other device connected to MIDI IN
number 8. The MIDI Timepiece AV is ready to
receive the dump at all times; no special
preparation is needed. The data dumps must be
received from either the computer port, the
network port, or MIDI IN cable 8.
USING THE SMPTE CONTROLS
Use the WINDOW knob to go to the SYNC
window. Make the SMPTE settings with the
CURSOR and VALUE knobs as follows:
SYNC
This window is for display only. It shows a running
update of the current SMPTE location (in hours,
minutes, and seconds) while the MIDI
Timepiece AV is striping SMPTE or locking to
external SMPTE time code. It also indicates
whether the MIDI Timepiece AV is synchronizing
from its own internal time base (Internal) or
locking to incoming SMPTE time code (LTC or
MTC).
