Using MIDI Time Code (MTC)
In addition to the conventional Timing Clock output, the
MRS-802 Version 2.0 also supports the MIDI Time Code
(MTC). Whereas the conventional Timing Clock signal is
based on tempo information set internally by the MRS-
802, the MTC specifies the current position in hours/
minutes/seconds/frames, representing absolute time
information. This assures more stable synchronization
than with Timing Clock, and allows the tempo to be
freely set at the receiving device.
The device sending the MTC signal is called the MTC
master and the receiving device is called the MTC slave.
The MRS-802 Version 2.0 can operate only as MTC
master. For synchronization, the device operating as
MTC slave must be set to lock onto the MTC signal. The
frame rate per second can be selected from 24, 25, 29.97
and 30, to match the connected device.
For example, to connect the MRS-802 Version 2.0 to a
MIDI sequencer for synchronization, make connections
as follows.
This setting determines whether MIDI Time Code (MTC)
messages are used for MIDI synchronization.
1.
Press the [DRUM] key in the rhythm
section, and then press the [UTILITY] key.
The rhythm utility menu for making various rhythm
section settings appears.
2.
Use the cursor left/right keys to bring up
the indication “Utility MIDI” on the display.
3.
Press the [ENTER] key.
The display changes as follows. Now you can select
MIDI-related setting items.
4.
Use the cursor left/right keys to bring up
the indication “MIDI MTC” on the display.
5.
Press the [ENTER] key, and turn the dial to
change the setting. The following settings
are available.
• 24 (24 frames/second)
• 25 (25 frames/second)
• 29.97nd (29.97 frames/second, non-drop)
• 30 (30 frames/second, non-drop)
When the MRS-802 Version 2.0 runs, MTC signals
will be sent out at the selected frame rate.
•
OFF
No MTC signals are sent.
6.
When you have finished making settings,
press the [EXIT] key several times.
The unit returns to the main screen.
