Setting up OMS and/or FreeMIDI
This scenario works well either with OMS or with
FreeMIDI’s OMS emulation. If you don’t normally
use OMS and you won’t be playing any MIDI
sequences during your Pro Tools sessions — either
from Pro Tools or from a sequencer, you can
simplify your life a little bit by removing OMS and
using FreeMIDI’s OMS emulation (as described in
“Enabling OMS emulation in FreeMIDI” on
page 85). You’ll definitely want to use emulation if
you want to use Performer (or Digital Performer)
simultaneously with Pro Tools.
If you intend to play MIDI sequences from within
Pro Tools or an OMS-dependent sequencer, set up
OMS and FreeMIDI as described in chapter 11,
“Digital Timepiece & OMS” (page 79).
Pro Tools software settings
In this scenario, you want to slave the Pro Tools
software to MIDI Time Code (from the Digital
Timepiece) in the usual fashion. You also want Pro
Tools to slave to the 256x word clock being received
from the Digital Timepiece.
1
Open Pro Tools (4.0 or higher) and choose Show
Session Setup from the Display menu.
2 Set the Pro Tools hardware Sync Mode to
Internal .
3 Make sure the Sample Rate and Frame Rate
settings match the Digital Timepiece settings, and
make the
Session Start setting as needed.
4
Put Pro Tools Online .

Pro Tools will now wait for MTC from the Digital
Timepiece.
Using ClockWorks
Regardless of how you’ve set up FreeMIDI and/or
OMS, you can use ClockWorks to manage the
settings in the Digital Timepiece.
If you choose one of the Digital Timepiece’s
Internal modes (Internal, Video/internal, Word 1x/
Internal, etc.) — where the Digital Timepiece itself
is acting as the address master, you can use the
transport controls in ClockWorks to drive the
whole rig — as long as you’ve set up OMS and/or
FreeMIDI so that Pro Tools and ClockWorks can
communicate simultaneously with the Digital
Timepiece. This requires either FreeMIDI’s OMS
emulation (as described in “Enabling OMS
emulation in FreeMIDI” on page 85) or FreeMIDI
and OMS running together on separate serial ports
as described in “Option 2: using separate serial
ports” on page 80. In either case, both Pro Tools
and ClockWorks are slaving to MTC from the
Digital Timepiece. In addition, ClockWorks issues
MMC transport commands to the Digital
Timepiece to trigger it.
Syncing Performer or Digital Performer with
Pro Tools
If you want to run Performer or Digital Performer
(as a
MIDI Only application) simultaneously with
Pro Tools in this scenario, you need use FreeMIDI’s
OMS emulation as described in “Enabling OMS
emulation in FreeMIDI” on page 85. Performer
slaves to external time code in the usual fashion.
Both Pro Tools and Performer can slave to
incoming MTC simultaneously, with one program
slaving in the background while the other is the
active application.
If the Digital Timepiece is operating in one of its
Internal modes (Internal, Video/internal, Word 1x/
Internal, etc.) — where the Digital Timepiece itself
is acting as the address master, you can use the
