Figure 9-5: To activate the streamers feature in Performer 5.5 or
Digital Performer 2.0, you need to add a ‘virtual’ Video Time Piece to
your FreeMIDI configuration and connect it to the same port as the
Digital Timepiece as shown here. (This won’t be necessary in future
versions of Performer and Digital Performer.)
■
You have turned on (checked) the Generate VTP
Streamers feature in Performer’s Markers window
mini-menu.
■
You have created a marker in Performer and
clicked in the streamers column next to the marker
to turn on streamer generation for the marker.
When you then start playback approximately five
seconds or more before the marker location and
then roll playback past the marker, the marker
name will appear on the video monitor attached to
the Digital Timepiece 3 seconds before the hit. The
streamer will wipe across the screen with a punch
at the exact frame of the marker.
CONTROLLING A DA-88/SY-88 WITH
PERFORMER
If you have set up your DA-88 as an ABS slave to the
Digital Timepiece as shown in Figure 3-10 or
Figure 3-11 on page 19, then you set up Performer
(or Digital Performer) to control the Digital
Timepiece, which then controls the DA-88.
If you have set up your DA-88 with an SY-88 card
as the time code master as shown in Figure 3-13 on
page 20 or Figure 3-14 on page 21, you can control
it directly from Performer. And since it serves as a
master over the Digital Timepiece as well in this
scenario, you have control over the Digital
Timepiece — and all of the devices slaved to it —
from Performer.
In this scenario, the DA-88/SY-88 responds to
MIDI Machine commands from Performer. It then
generates time code (and word clock) to which the
Digital Timepiece and Performer slave, as shown in
Figure 3-13 on page 20 and Figure 3-14 on page 21.
To set up Performer so that it triggers the DA-88/
SY-88 with MIDI Machine commands, follow the
procedures in the following sections.
Connections
1 Use the first four DIP switches at location S2 on
the SY-88 card to set its Machine ID Refer to your
DA-88 user’s manuals for details.
2
Connect a MIDI Out socket on your MIDI
interface to the MIDI In socket on the SY-88 card.
3 Connect the MIDI Out from SY-88 card to a
MIDI In of the Digital Timepiece.
4 Confirm that the Digital Timepiece is connected
bi-directionally (MIDI IN and OUT) to the MIDI
interface.
