Synchronization
266
generation 6 Audio always uses the set nominal sample
rate (44.1 or 48 kHz).
This mode is suitable when it is vital to retain the absolute
pitch of a recording. If the speed of the timecode master
deviates from the nominal value, you have to split long re-
gions into shorter sections.
In MAGIX midi studio generation 6, this mode is avail-
able with any audio hardware. It allows far better synchro-
nization than with software not capable to synchronize the
start points of regions to the external Time Code Master in
real time.
External/Free: MAGIX midi studio generation 6 has no in-
fluence on the sample rate. The audio hardware has to en-
sure that the position and sample rate of the audio regions
match.
MIDI
This page is where you monitor all the settings sent by
MAGIX midi studio generation 6 via MIDI when the se-
quencer is running. This enables you to synchronize ex-
ternal devices as slaves to MAGIX midi studio generation
6, which acts as the master.
Transmit MIDI Clock: The switch on the right activates
transmission of MIDI Clock. In the display next to it you
can choose the port (MIDI Out Driver) from which MIDI
Clock is sent.
Every time you start, “Song Position Pointer” (SPP) is also
sent.
Because not all devices can process SPP the real-time mes-
sage “Continue” is also sent. The exception to this is when
you start at position 1/1/1/1. In this case, the real-time
message “Start” is sent, instead of “Continue”.
MIDI Clock to all Ports (All Ports): Both MIDI Clock and
MTC can be sent to all ports simultaneously: select “All
Ports”.
MIDI Clock can easily be sent via a bus along with other
normal MIDI events (notes, controllers). With multiport
MIDI interfaces like Unitor8 MkII, it is better for timing
reasons to send MIDI Clock via all ports rather than via
several individual ports.
If MIDI Clock is transmitted via all ports, the events are
sent only once from the computer to the interface. If you
address individual ports, one event has to be sent for each
individual port, which worsens the timing for all ports.
Allow Song Position Pointer while playing: Accord-
ing to the MIDI Standard, Song Position Pointer is nor-
