Nominal Sample Rate: This is where the selected nomi-
nal sample rate is shown.
You can change the sample rate via Audio > Sample Rate,
if your hardware supports several different sample rates.
MTC [Hz]: This display shows the deviation between the
incoming MTC, and its nominal frame rate.
If the deviation is too large, please check that you have set
the right frame rate (on the “General” page of the synchro-
nization window). If in doubt, set the frame rate to 24 fps
and switch on “Auto Detect format of MTC”.
If the frame rate is correct, you can use this display to ad-
just the tape speed of the master machine to the nominal
value (i.e. the same speed as used when the time code was
recorded). Adjust the varipitch control on the master ma-
chine, until the vertical yellow line is exactly in the middle.
Sample Rate: This display shows the deviation of the
sample rate from its nominal value.
Bear in mind that some audio hardware will not allow any
variation in the sample rate.
Deviation: This display shows the current phase devia-
tion of the word clock from the timecode master, in other
words, the deviation between audio and MIDI.
With varying timecode you can see in this display how
MAGIX midi studio generation 6 Audio regulates the
sample rate of the hardware in “MTC continuous” sync
mode. Even with large timecode variations, there is no de-
viation between audio and MIDI. Your audio hardware
must be capable of continuously variable sample rate, for
this to function.
Small deviations between audio and MIDI are unavoid-
able, because MIDI can (and should) follow the timecode
master directly.
Sync Mode: This is where you define how the audio hard-
ware should be synchronised to an external timecode mas-
ter.
Depending on its design, not all audio hardware can work
in every sync mode described below. This depends partic-
ularly on whether or not the hardware’s sample rate can be
controlled.
MTC Trigger: Audio regions are started in sync, but are
then played with a constant sample rate, regardless of any
variations in the timecode master. MAGIX midi studio
