EXTERNAL MIDI SEQUENCER SETTINGS
QUASIMIDI RAVE-O-LUTION 309
In the 'EDIT' page press F3 to select 'SYSTEM'. Select page 3 with the 'PAGE' dial. Use the
'EDIT VALUE' wheel to set MIDI SYNC to 'EXT'.
GETTING STARTED/POWERING UP
When power is first applied to the MICRO SYNC the software version fitted to your unit will be
shown in the main display.
Afterwards, the four centre bars will light to indicate the BPM engine is currently ‘IDLE’.
Before the MICRO SYNC can operate correctly your MIDI sequencer must first be set to
recognise e
MIDI Clock commands. Please consult the manufacturers operation
manual to make the necessary settings. Here are some typical examples:
In System Settings, set the 'SYNCHRONIZATION SETTING' to 'Slave' mode.
In Master Menu, set 'GLOBAL TEMPO' down below 1 BPM to 'External' mode and set the
'BEATS MODE to 1, 2 or 3.

The MICRO SYNC has been designed to operate from the main output signal on a mixing
desk or any line level audio source. When connecting to a mixing desk, this signal can usually
be taken from a secondary parallel master output labelled ‘RECORD’ or ‘BOOTH OUTPUT’. If
your mixing desk does not feature this type of output, use two ’Y’ type RCA phono splitter
connectors on the master output terminals so that both the amplification system and MICRO
SYNC receive the same signal. Alternatively you can connect to any ‘EFFECT SEND’.
NOTE 1: When the MICRO SYNC is in use, avoid changing any volume or tone controls on
the mixing desk as this could greatly affect the MICRO SYNC's synchronisation performance.
(Example: a ‘Bass’ tone control turned right down would eliminate all the kick drum beat
information from the track).
NOTE 2: A sub-mixer MUST be used to combine the MIDI driven audio and main audio
output signals - see connection diagram. MIDI driven audio played back into the MICRO
SYNC’s input from the main mixer will create a feedback loop. This will result in the MICRO
SYNC following it's own tempo rather than the master audio signal.
