10 SYNCHRONIZATION WITH OTHER DEVICES
10.1 MIDI Clock
The Xbase09 as slave
The Xbase09 can be sync'ed to external devices via MIDI clock. The MIDI clock signal has a
resolutiion of 24 ticks or pulses per quarter note (24ppq). This equals 96 ticks over the length of a
bar in 4/4 time. Therefore the Xbase09's rhythmic resolution is only half as fine when it is
synchronized to MIDI clock (the resolution of the Xbase09's internal sequencer is 48 ppq).
This means that uneven shuffle settings are quantized to even settings. This can lead to a finely
set groove scheme sounding different when played back by the Xbase09 syncing to MIDI clock.
Clock select
To activate the Clock select function, press SHIFT and the clock select button. Use the
UP/DOWN buttons to select between MIDI and internal clock.
"Mid" - the Xbase09 will synchronize to external MIDI clock and has to be started and stopped
externally.
Synchronizing with the Xbase09 as master
The other way to synchronize the Xbase 09 with an external device is to synchronize the external
device to the MIDI clock signal always present at the Xbase09's MIDI out port.
In this case, nothing needs to be set on the Xbase09. The other device must however be set to
synchronize to MIDI clock.
10.2 DIN-SYNC
All devices that support the Roland DIN Sync format can be synchronized to the Xbase09
regardless of the Xbase09's clock setting.
Clock trigger and Start/Stop signals are transmitted independant of the play modes as long as the
sequencer is running. This means that they are also transmitted when the Xbase09 is syncing to
MIDI clock.
This is an additional “MIDI to DIN Sync” interface that can be used at all times.
