SYNCHRONIZATION AND MIDI MACHINE
CONTROL
The Sync tab and the sync-related controls at the top of the
window (Figure 5-8) give you control over your MOTU
interface’s sync and MMC transport control features.
Transport controls
The transport controls are just like standard tape deck
transports. These buttons control the time code generated
by your MOTU interface when it is in Internal mode.
SMPTE Readout
The SMPTE Readout provides a running update of the
time code being generated or converted by your MOTU
interface. This running update is made possible by MIDI
Time Code (MTC) generated by your MOTU interface
and routed to the computer. If the SMPTE Readout is not
responding, make sure the Routings window (Figure 5-3
on page 33) has a connection from the MTC Out port on
the left to the computer on the right.
Cueing to a specific frame
The SMPTE readout shows your MOTU interface’s current
frame location in hours: minutes: seconds: frames. You
can also type in any frame location you wish into the
SMPTE Readout to cue your MOTU interface to a specific
frame location. Use the tab key to move from field to field
and press return to confirm the SMPTE location you type
in.
Locate Buttons
You can set the eight locate buttons to any SMPTE frame
location you wish and then cue your MOTU interface (and
all connected devices) as desired by clicking the
appropriate Locate button.
To set a locate point for a locate button, set the SMPTE
counter to the desired location and then shift-click the
button.
☛ The Clock mode (as explained in the next section)
must be set to Internal when using the locate buttons.
Locate points are saved with ClockWorks files.
