Device-specific record functions
The Digital Timepiece supports the following
device-specific MMC record functions:
■
Record-arming and disarming specific tracks in
a device
■
Setting the monitor mode for a device ( All or
Auto, which monitors record-enabled inputs only)
■
Setting a SMPTE offset for a device
■
Setting individual track offsets for ADATs and
DA-88s
■
Setting the video record mode on 9-pin
compatible video decks ( Insert , Assemble , or
Crash/Full Record )
■
Choose between analog or digital input on a
device
Controlling device-specific record functions
from ClockWorks
The easiest way to perform device-specific record
functions from a Macintosh computer is with
ClockWorks. Just use the buttons in the device’s
information panel in ClockWorks’ Sync/MMC
window. You can easily record-enable tracks with
the row(s) of record buttons provided, set track
offsets, set the monitor mode, etc.
Controlling device-specific record functions
from Performer and other sequencers
Even if you have a powerful sequencer like
Performer or Digital Performer, you will probably
find ClockWorks to be the most convenient way to
control device-specific record functions. (Watch
for future updates of Performer and Digital
Performer, which will incorporate some of
ClockWorks’ device specific features into
Performer’s MIDI Machine window.)
Controlling device-specific record functions
from other software and hardware controllers
To perform device-specific record functions from
any other Macintosh or Windows software, or from
a hardware MMC controller, program the
controller to send device-specific messages to the
Digital Timepiece with the “soft” MMC ID of the
device connected to the Digital Timepiece that you
wish to control. In other words, program your
controller to send the device-specific message to
the soft ID of the device, and make sure the
message reaches the Digital Timepiece (via its
MIDI IN ports or via its REMOTE port from a
Macintosh). The Digital Timepiece will then pass
on the message to the appropriate device.
If you need a review of what a “soft” ID is, see
“Hard versus soft IDs” on page 61 of this chapter.
An example of device-specific record functions
Here’s an example: let’s say that you have a
JLCooper CuePoint™ MMC controller connected
directly to the Digital Timepiece. You would like to
record-enable track 5 on the second of three
ADATs connected to the Digital Timepiece. And
lets assume that the Digital Timepiece assigned
your ADATs to soft IDs 1 through 3 respectively. To
record-enable track 5 on the second ADAT, you
would use the row of buttons on the CuePoint that
correspond with Device ID 2 (which belongs to the
second ADAT).
To accomplish the same thing in Performer, you
would set up a device in FreeMIDI with the proper
soft device ID, and connect the device to the
Digital Timepiece in your FreeMIDI configuration.
Then, when you click one of the device’s record-
enable buttons in Performer’s MIDI Machine
window, Performer will send a message with the
proper ID to the Digital Timepiece, which then
passes it on to the appropriate device (the second
ADAT in the current example).
To find out what the soft IDs are of the devices
connected to the Digital Timepiece, look in the
Sync/MMC window of ClockWorks. If you can’t
run ClockWorks for some reason, you can set them
manually and make note of them. See “How to
control the assignment of soft IDs” on page 61.
