Configuring MIDI Parameters
The Digital 8•Bus Remote CPU has a MIDI
card installed in the rear panel. The MIDI I/O
ports on it can be configured to send and receive
MIDI channel messages and Sysex messages, or
to send MIDI Machine Control (MMC) and re-
ceive MIDI Time Code (MTC). The following
parameters can be configured.
MMC DEVICE ID: Some 8-track digital recorders
require that you define the device ID numbers
used for each recorder in the MIDI Machine
Controller. Typically, tracks 1–8 are device 0,
tracks 9–16 are device 1, and tracks 17–24 are
device 2.
SINGLE BUTTON RECORD: You can also select
whether to press the PLAY and RECORD but-
tons to enter record mode, or just press the
RECORD button (Single Button Record). We
recommend leaving Single Button Record off
to provide an extra measure of safety in case
you inadvertently press the RECORD button
in the Transport Section.
MTC OFFSET: MIDI File Offset can be used to in-
dicate the starting time of a Standard MIDI File
(SMF), referenced to absolute timecode. This
option allows you to enter a MIDI File Offset
using the number buttons in the Transport Sec-
tion. This is used to re-reference the Digital
8•Bus to a starting point other than zero.
TEMPO MAP: If you use sequencers in your re-
cording process, you can create a standard MIDI
file from the song(s) you’ve recorded. You can
copy the tempo map from the SMF to the Digital
8•Bus and “synchronize” the D8B to the
Bars:Beats:Ticks of the sequenced program.
SMFs are loaded from the floppy disk drive.
