SMPTE frame rate
This parameter enables you to select a frame rate (the number of frames per second) that appears in the time
counter and time fields. Move the cursor to this field and turn the
[JOG]
wheel to set the value. Options are

NOTE :
Match the frame rate of the DPS16 and a connected external device to synchronize the system
using the MIDI timecode (see page 137).

MMC device ID
This field enables you to set the device ID of a connected external device that sends MMC (MIDI Machine
Control) to the DPS16 to control the transport section of the DPS16. Move the cursor to this field, and turn the
[JOG]
wheel to set the device ID in the range of 0 to 126.
➸
NOTE :
To control the DPS16 from an external device using MMC (see page 138), the device ID of the
external transmission device and that of the DPS16 should match.

MIDI out/thru
You may select whether the MIDI OUT/THRU connector is used as a MIDI OUT or a MIDI THRU. Move the
cursor to the
Out/Thru
field, and turn the
[JOG]
wheel to select one of the following options.
•
THRU
........... The MIDI OUT/THRU connector functions as a MIDI THRU. The signal received at the MIDI
IN connector will be output as is, and no signal inside the DPS16 will be output.
•
OUT
.............. The MIDI OUT/THRU connector functions as a MIDI OUT and signals inside the DPS16 will
be output.
➸
NOTE :
If you use the DPS16 as a sync master device to send the MTC or the MIDI clock to an external
device, you must set this parameter to
OUT
.
