Sync Error Level
This sets the interval (0–10) for checking MTC receiv-
ing status when synchronize VS-1680 with MTC from
an external MIDI device. If the MTC is not being sent
continuously, the VS-1680 checks the MTC and if there
is an error, cancels synchronization. By setting a
longer interval under such circumstances, synchro-
nization can continue, even if there is a certain degree
of error. Normally, set this to “5.”
Sync MTC Type
This selects the MTC type (30, 29N, 29D 25, 24). Select
the MTC so that it matches that of the SI-80S (“30,”
“29D,” or “29N”).
6. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].
Return to Play condition.
7. Press [EXT SYNC].
The button indicator lights, indicating that the VS-1680
is synchronized using the MTC from the SI-80S.
In this condition, operations performed on the
video equipment are performed in synchrony on
the VS-1680.
Using External Effects
Devices
When using external effects devices, the AUX A/B
jacks function as effects send jacks. Here we see how
effects can be added to a performance recorded in
stereo on Track 9/10. This is handy when, for exam-
ple, you want to add reverb using an external effects
device. Use the INPUT 7 and 8 jacks as the effect
return jacks.
