MR-8HD/CD Owner’s Manual (MIDI synchronization)
The following describes how to synchronize a sequencer to the MR-8HD/CD which supports
MTC (MIDI Time code).
Connect the [MIDI OUT] connector of the MR-8HD/CD to the [MIDI IN] connector of an external MIDI
sequencer using a MIDI cable. (Note that no MIDI cable is supplied with the MR-8HD/CD. Use a
commercially available MIDI cable.)
1) Set the "Midi Sync Out" item in the "System" menu
of the menu mode to "MTC" and the "MTC Frame
Rate" to an appropriate frame rate.
See "MIDI sync/MTC frame rate settings"
described below for details.
2) Enable the external MIDI sequencer to synchronize
to MTC.
See the operation manual of the sequencer for
details.
3) Press the [PLAY] key of the MR-8HD/CD to start
playback.
The sequencer automatically starts playback
while synchronizing to the MR-8HD/CD.
While the MR-8HD/CD is stopped, you can set
the reference of MIDI synchronization to "MTC"
and the MTC frame rate appropriately to match
the sequencer.
2) Rotate the [MENU/ENTER] knob to select
"System
", and press the [MENU/ENTER] knob.
The display now shows the first page of the
system menu screen, where "
Back" is
highlighted initially.
<MTC start time>
The MTC from the MR-8HD/CD has one hour
offset to the ABS time (the offset value is fixed).
Therefore, when you start the MR-8HD/CD from
the beginning of a song (ABS ZERO), the MTC
starts from "01h 00m 00s 00f".
1) While the recorder is stopped, press the
[MENU/ENTER] knob to enter the menu mode.
The display now shows the first page of the
menu selection screen, where "
Back" is
highlighted initially (selecting "
Back" returns
to the previous screen).
