Digital Timepiece & Performer
OVERVIEW
This chapter explains the following ways in which
the Digital Timepiece and Performer (or Digital
Performer) can work with each other:
■
Getting Performer to ‘see’ the Digital Timepiece
■
Slaving Performer to the Digital Timepiece
■
Cueing, starting and stopping the Digital
Timepiece from Performer’s transport controls
■
Sending record-enable commands and other
MMC record functions from Performer to devices
connected to the Digital Timepiece
■
Triggering video streamers from Performer
For clarity’s sake, we’ll use the term Performer , but
any discussion about Performer in this chapter also
applies to Digital Performer. There are, however, a
few sections later in the chapter that apply to
Digital Performer only.

Important version information
You must have Digital Performer 1.71 (or later) or
Performer 5.02 (or later) with FreeMIDI 1.3 or
later. FreeMIDI 1.3 ships with the ClockWorks
console installer disk; it is automatically installed
when you run the ClockWorks Easy Install.
GETTING THE DIGITAL TIMEPIECE TO
APPEAR IN PERFORMER’S MMC WINDOW
The first step in getting Performer to work with the
Digital Timepiece is to add a Digital Timepiece to
your current FreeMIDI configuration. It can either
be connected to a MIDI interface, such as a MIDI
Timepiece, or it can be connected directly to the
Macintosh modem or printer port. For further
information about getting the Digital Timepiece to
appear in your current FreeMIDI setup, see “For
Existing FreeMIDI users” on page 8 of the
ClockWorks User’s Guide .
Once you’ve successfully added the Digital
Timepiece to your FreeMIDI setup, the Digital
Timepiece will automatically appear in Performer’s
MIDI Machine window as shown in Figure 9-1.
Figure 9-1: Setting up the Digital Timepiece in the MIDI Machine
window of Performer 5.02 or Digital Performer 1.71 or later. Make
sure that MIDI Machine Control is turned on and that the MTP AV
device is On-line. You don’t need to assign any tracks to the Digital
Timepiece device.
SLAVING PERFORMER
In order to synchronize Performer with the Digital
Timepiece, you must slave Performer to the Digital
Timepiece. In theory, you could do the opposite
and slave the Digital Timepiece to Performer.
However, doing so involves transmitting MIDI
Time Code (MTC) from Performer. This is
undesirable because MTC transmission from
