BASIC MT2X SYSTEM WITH EFFECTS
M T 2 X + S P X 9 0 + m o n i t o r s y s t e m + m i c
+ DX100 + RX17
This basic recording system puts the
MT2X’s six input channels to good use.
A microphone for vocals and an electric
guitar are plugged into channels 1 and 2,
taking advantage of the low-level input
and level-matching capability provided
by these channels. Channels 3 and 4
receive the stereo outputs from a
Yamaha DX100 Digital Programmable
Algorithm Synthesizer, and the stereo
outputs from a Yamaha RX17 Digital
Rhythm Programmer are plugged into
channels 5 and 6. With a setup like this,
you’re ready to record any source on
virtually any track with no need for
repatching. For top-quality reverb, delay
and other effects a Yamaha SPX90 Multi-
effect Processor is connected into the
MT2X’s AUX SEND/RETURN loop. A sim-
ple but highly effective monitor system
is provided by a pair of Yamaha KS10
powered speakers.

MIDI TAPE SYNC SYSTEM
In this system the YMC2 MIDI Converter
converts the MIDI timing signals from the
QX21 Digital Sequence Recorder into
analog signals which are recorded on
track 4 of the tape. On playback, the
analog tape signals are converted back
into MIDI form by the YMC2 and used to
control START and STOP of the QX21.
Thus, playback of the QX21 sequencer,
which controls the DX27 Digital Pro-
grammable Algorithm Synthesizer and
RX17 Digital Rhythm Programmer, is
perfectly synchronized to playback of the
MT2X tape. Other material can now be
recorded on tracks 1 through 3 of the
MT2X — vocals, acoustic instruments,
etc. — in perfect synchronization with
the MIDI sequence. The benefit is that
we effectively have more than four
playback tracks, and that the synchronir-
ed MIDI instruments can be modified as
desired: i.e., voices can be changed on
the synthesizer or the QX21 sequence
edited without affecting any other tracks.
