6. Press the DISP SEL key while holding down the SHIFT key to show time base in the MTC display.
<Notes on MTC related setups>
By “MTC offset time setting” and “MTC offset mode setting,” at what position (ABS 0 or 001BAR/
1BEAT/00CLK) should the setup MTC (MTC offset time) is to be output is set. When setting the
start time of the tune in the sequence software by these setups, be careful of the following
points.
* Offset mode: For ABS
If playback is started from ABS 0, since MTC will be output starting from the MTC offset time
that has been set, the start time of the tune set by the sequence software must be set about 3
seconds later from the MTC offset time that was setup. This will provide time because the
sequence software cannot sync immediately after MTC is output. For example, if the initial
setting of 00h 59m 57s 00f 00sf” is used, set the start time of the tune to “01h 00m 00s 00f.”
If playback is thus started from ABS 0 (LOCATE ABS 0), sync will be obtained by the time it
reaches the first bar and therefore it can be made to sync from the head of the tune.
* Offset mode: For BAR
As mentioned before, because the “ABS 0” position is set at the “002BAR / 1BEAT / 00CLK”
position, the setup MTC offset time can be set to the head of the tune without taking into account
the time until reaching sync, as mentioned above. The length of the time two bars beforehand
will change in accordance to the first bar setting for “signature” and “tempo.” For example, it
will be long if the tempo is set slow. This mode can be effectively applied when using the MIDI
clock and MTC in parallel, and when using MTC for the sync signal while controlling the recorder
with time base BAR/BEAT/CLK.
Confirming MTC sync/MMC
1. During recording and at playback after recording, time base MTC is displayed according to the setting
and MTC is output at the same time.
Check that the recorder traveling position (MTC) and the traveling position of the sequence software in sync are
matched.
2. Send MMC commands such as PLAY, STOP and LOCATE from the sequence software to see that the
recorder will be properly controlled.
When a correct MIDI command (MMC or FEX) is received, “MIDI” in the display will be lit for about 40msec. There is
no setting in the recorder to receive MMC or FEX but it will operate if a correct MIDI signal is input.
* If sync and control cannot be done correctly, re-check connections/cables and the setting of
both equipment.
Execution of recording
Carry out various recordings while synchronizing the recorder and a MIDI sequencer with the
MIDI clock.
