Chapter 11 Recording/Playing Back Fader or Knob Actions (Automix)
Setup for Synchronized Operation with
Recorder
■ Selecting the outgoing MIDI sync signals
The Automix Function (p. 197) is used for saving time-based mixing operations
done in the process of mixing down works of music, or when doing post-production
work for videos. Thus, synchronization must be established between the multitrack
recorders or video recorders used.
In order to provide synchronization and send/receive time codes, you need to select
a Master device.
Selecting a master according to “Settings related to synchronization” on p. 224
When selecting an external device for the master for synchronization...
Select “EXT” for SYNC MODE.
When selecting a MIDI device as the master → Either one of MULTI 1-8, MULTI 9-16
or MULTI 17-24.
When selecting a MIDI device as the master → MTC
When selecting this system as the master for synchronization...
Select “INT” for SYNC MODE and set MIDI SYNC TX SW to “MTC.”
■ MIDI clock and tempo, metronome
When this system is selected as the master for synchronization, it is capable of
sending out not only the MTC, but also the MIDI clock. This system, however, is not
equipped with a function for recording changes in tempos (such as a tempo map).
Thus, it is impossible to modify the tempo of a song.
The tempo of the outgoing MIDI clock (clock transmission interval) is determined by
the value specified for the “TEMPO” option in the TEMPO system screen. Also, the
length of the displayed measure is determined by the value selected for the “BEAT”
option.
Using an external MIDI sound generator, you can use the Metronome function (see
p. 196 on “MIDI clock and tempo, metronome”). Like the MIDI clock, this function
too is performed according to the way the “TEMPO” and “BEAT” options are set up.
Thus, the metronome sound is synchronized with the outgoing MIDI clock.
This system cannot
function as a slave in
keeping with the MIDI
clock sent from other
equipment.
If you like, the timecode
indication (hour, minute,
second, and frame) that
ordinarily appears in the
upper-right-hand corner of
the screen can be switched
(in the system DISPLAY
screen) to a MEASURE/
BEAT indication instead.
Like the MIDI clock, this
indication is also
dependent on the way the
“TEMPO” and “BEAT”
options are set up.
