ING SOURCE OF SMPTE (SYNCHRONIZER OR
PRE-RECORDED TAPE).
IF YOU WANT TO LOCK MIXMATE TO TAPE
WITHOUT USING A MIDI SEQUENCER.
MixMate employs the same "smart" FSK converter found in J.L. Cooper's
popular PPS-1.
In the past, typical MIDI sync-to-tape FSK required you to roll back to the
beginning of the song each time that you wanted to lock a MIDI device
to tape. This is of course entirely unsuitable for automation purposes! Un-
like ordinary sync tones , "smart" FSK has tempo AND song position en-
coded within it.
When this mode is selected, MixMate can stripe this special fsk tone
when MixMate receives MIDI SYNC clocks from an external drum ma-
chine or sequencer.Upon tape playback, or when advancing or rewinding
tape to do overdubs or mixdown, the FSK tone is fed back into
MixMate .
MixMate converts the FSK tone into a MIDI Song Position Pointer, fol-
lowed by MIDI SYNC clocks, sent out of the MixMate's MIDI OUT, to
your sequencer or drum machine. THIS ALLOWS YOUR SEQUENCER
OR DRUM MACHINE AND THE
MixMate TO CHASE AND LOCK TO
TAPE.
This tone is completely compatible with the J.L.COOPER PPS-1. Since
striping this special tone requires playing back a previously recorded se-
quence,this sync mode MUST BE USED WITH A SEQUENCER OR
DRUM MACHINE.

CONTROLS THE AUDIO.
Nothing exotic here. MixMate will respond in this mode to MIDI Song
Position Pointer and slave to plain old MIDI SYNC clocks coming from a
sequencer or drum machine, or an existing synchronizer. (By "existing" we
simply mean one that you are already using). MIDI SYNC mode may also
be used when you want to automate audio levels live on stage with a se-
quencer providing the timing. MIDI SYNC mode will also be used if you
already have some type of synchronizer in place (e.g. Roland SBX-80,
Fostex 4050, Steinburg SMP-24, etc.), and you don't want to change your
set-up. The same clocks and song pointer that are driving your sequenc-
er can also drive
MixMate .
