Settings Common to All Modes (System Function)
Settings Common to All Modes (System Function)
Arpeggio/Rhythm Sync Switch
Specifies whether the arpeggio or rhythm pattern will start/stop in
synchronization with the sequencer. This parameter does nothing if
the sequencer is stopped.
Value
OFF:
Start/stop will not synchronize to the synthesizer.
ON:
While the sequencer is running, the arpeggiator will start at
the beginning of the next measure. When you stop the
sequencer, the arpeggios will also stop.
MMC Mode
When synchronizing the Fantom-S with a hard disk recorder, such
as one from the Roland VS series, specify which synchronization
signal the Fantom-S’s sequencer will use for operation.
Value
MASTER:
The Fantom-S will be the master. Use this setting when
you want other devices to follow the operation of the
Fantom-S.
SLAVE:
The Fantom-S will be the slave. Use this setting when
you want the Fantom-S to receive MMC (MIDI Machine
Control) from an external device and operate
accordingly.
MMC (MIDI Machine Control) is a specification that allows
MIDI messages to be used to control devices such as tape
recorders, VTR’s, and digital recording systems. Thirty-seven
MMC commands are available, including Stop and Play.
MMC Output (MMC Output Switch)
Turn this “ON” if you want to synchronize with a hard disk
recorder, such as one from the Roland VS series. When set “ON,”
MMC (MIDI Machine Control) related commands (Play, Stop and
Locate) will be transmitted.
Value:
OFF, ON
MTC Sync Output (MTC Sync Output Switch)
Set this parameter ON when you want MTC (MIDI Time Code) to be
transmitted to an external MIDI device. If not, set it OFF.
Value:
OFF, ON
MTC Frame Rate
Specify the MTC frame rate. Make sure that the same mode is set in
both master and slave devices.
Value
24:
24 frames per second
25:
25 frames per second
29N:
29 frames per second
29D:
29 frames per second
30:
30 frames per second
When synchronizing with a hard disk recorder such as the
Roland VS series, any frame rate is all right—as long as the
setting matches that of the Fantom-S. However, when
synchronizing operation with video devices such as video decks,
the video device’s frame rate is fixed, so the Fantom-S’s setting
must correspond to that frame rate.
MTC Offset Time Hour
Coordinates the playback timing of the Fantom-S and the external
device in an hour units.
Value:
00–23 hours
MTC Offset Time Minute
Coordinates the playback timing of the Fantom-S and the external
device in a minute units.
Value:
00–59 minutes
MTC Offset Time Second
Coordinates the playback timing of the Fantom-S and the external
device in a second units.
Value:
00–59 seconds
MTC Offset Time Frame
Coordinates the playback timing of the Fantom-S and the external
device in a frame units.
Value:
00–29 frames
Types of MTC
The types of MTC that can be selected by the Fantom-S are
shown below. Select the same frame rate as that set for the
external device. When not using a video device, then any frame
rate may be selected as long as the rates are the same on both
devices being synchronized.
30:
This is 30 frames per second, non-drop format. This is
used by audio devices such as analog tape recorders, and
for NTSC format black and white video (used in Japan
and the U.S.).
29N:
This is 29.97 frames per second, non-drop format. This is
used for NTSC format color video (used in Japan and the
U.S.).
29D:
29.97 frames per second drop format. This is used for
NTSC format color video (used in Japan and the U.S.).
25:
25 frame per second frame rate. This is used for SECAM or
PAL format video, audio equipment, and film (used in
Europe and elsewhere).
24:
24 frame per second frame rate. This is used for video,
audio devices, and film in the US.
Non-Drop Format and Drop Format
There are two types of format used by NTSC video cassette
recorders, non-drop and drop. Non-drop format features
continuous time code, whereas in drop format, which is used
for NTSC color video format, the first two frames of every
minute are dropped, except for those at ten-minute intervals. In
most video and audio production, since formats with
continuous frames are easier to deal with, non-drop is generally
used. In contrast, in situations such as in broadcast, where the
time code must match actual clock time, drop is used.
