Selecting a MIDI Sync Mode
To synchronize the playback of the MDF3 with that of another MIDI sequencer,
rhythm machine, or personal computer, it is not enough to merely set the same
tempo value for the two devices. One device must be set to function as the master,
while the other functions as a slave, synchronizing playback to the MIDI clock sig-
nal output by the master rather than its own internal clock. You can change the
synchronization setting using the “Sync mode” function.
1. In JOB mode, select
“04: Sync mode”.
When you press the
START/STOP
key,
the current sync mode setting will ap-
pear in the LCD.
Note:
Whenever the MDF3’s power is turned
on, the sync mode is automatically set to the
internal clock.
2. Select the desired setting.
Using the
FILE DATA
keys, select either
setting.
If you set the sync mode to “int.”, the
MDF3 will ignore any clock signals out-
put by other devices and run at the tempo
set by its internal clock. If you select
“MIDI”, the MDF3 will synchronize to
an external clock signal, and ignore any
tempo settings you have made.
3. Exit the function.
Press any mode key (
MDR
,
SEQ
,
JOB
,
or
UTIL
) to exit the function.
When you next begin recording or play-
back, the MDF3 will use the sync mode
setting you have selected.
