Synchronization
mally only sent when you start. This option means that
SPP can also be sent while the sequencer is running. The
advantage is that external devices can also follow MAGIX
midi studio generation 6 in Cycle mode.
If the external devices cannot process SPP, you should
switch off this option. This improves the timing when cy-
cling.
Transmit MTC (MIDI Time Code): The switch to the
right activates transmission of MIDI Time Code. In the
display next to it, you can define the port (MIDI Out
Driver) to which MTC is transmitted.
It is not advisable to send MTC to all ports. Unlike MIDI
Clock, if you want to send MTC (which is very data-inten-
sive), use a MIDI port which is not being used for any-
thing else.
Transmit MTC Delay: This parameter allows you to de-
lay the transmitted MIDI Time Code. Negative values
mean that the MTC is transmitted earlier. This enables
you to compensate for any reaction delays in the external
MTC slaves.
Special Functions
Switching on external sync
Switching on the sync button on the Transport causes
MAGIX midi studio generation 6 to synchronize to the
sync source you’ve chosen.
You can use the Sync button to turn off the external sync at
any time, without changing your selected sync source.
This allows you to remove MAGIX midi studio generation
6 temporarily from the sync master’s time axis. This could
prove useful if, for example, you need to quickly edit a se-
quence while the external sync source (tape machine, VTR
etc.) is still running.
Recording with external synchronization: When
“Record” is pressed during external sync, MAGIX midi
studio generation 6 goes into MIDI Record mode, but
does not start until it encounters external time code.
Incoming MIDI Time Code Display: The flashing dot
on the transport window’s sync button indicates that
MAGIX midi studio generation 6 is receiving error-free
MIDI time code.
If the dot “sticks”, an error has occurred. Although
MAGIX midi studio generation 6 is capable of dealing
