Setting MIDI sync output signal (“Sync Out ?” menu)
The “Setting MIDI sync output signal” menu enables you to select the type of MIDI sync signals output from the
MIDI OUT connector on the rear panel of the FD-8 to an external MIDI device.
The options are MIDI clock & Song Position Pointer, or MTC (MIDI time code). Select an appropriate option
depending on the type of signal supported by the connected MIDI device.
If you select MIDI clock & Song Position Pointer, first you need to set the time signatures and tempo as described
previously. If you select MTC, you first need to set the MTC frame rate, the MTC offset time, and the MTC offset
mode as described later.
• Initial setting: [cLK] (clock & Song Position Pointer)
• Option: [cLK] (clock & Song Position Pointer), [Mtc] (MIDI time code), [oFF] (no output)
* You can set the parameters for each Program individually.
* The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the song data.
* The settings are maintained after you turn off the power to the unit.
