For difficult cases: The Beat Offset:
External synchronisation - synchronising additional units with the Audio-signal:
Readings in our Audio-laboratory have shown that some music pieces are synchronised perfectly
when it comes to the tempo but that there is a audible deviation in complicated passages.
For this purpose the Sirius has a Beat-Offset-Parameter. For external audio-synchronisaton this will be
controlled using the VALUE/TEMPO-dial. If you turn the VALUE/TEMPO-dial to the right or to the left
the Sirius-Groove will be shifted slightly from the audio material, either delayed or advanced against
the beat. This behaviour is also called Sync.Delay. The amount of change is shown in the display.
Positive values will make the Sirius play slightly earlier (advanced), negative will delay it slightly. In
this way you will be able to sit in tight with these sections.
If the SIRIUS is running sync. to the beat of the Audio-signal the clock-signal generated can then be
used to synchronise another synthesizer or sequencer to the SIRIUS using MIDI. You only have to
connect the MIDI-OUT-socket of the Sirius to the MIDI-IN-socket of the Midi-device you wish to syn-
chronise. On page 11 of the Edit-system-menu , you can set the parameter TX-Clock to the "ON"-
position. You will also have to put all sequencers or synthesizers to external synchronisation mode.
