Connecting external equipment
1. Connect the VF-16 MIDI OUT to MIDI IN of the MIDI
sequencer.
2. Set the MIDI sequencer for “external sync mode
(EXTERNAL SYNC) by MIDI clock.”
Refer to the Owners Manual of the equipment in use for
details.
Setup of the VF-16
1. Because the MIDI clock and song position pointer will
be output from the VF-16, set the SETUP mode “MIDI sync
signal output setting” to “CLK.”
Refer to page “103”, SETUP mode “MIDI sync signal output
setting” for correct operating procedures.
2. The meter in the desired bar can be set by “Time signature
setting” of the SETUP mode.
Refer to page “99”, SETUP mode “Time Signature Setting”
for operating procedure.
3. Tempo in the desired bar can be set by “Tempo setting”
of the SETUP mode.
Refer to page “101”, SETUP mode “Tempo Setting” for
operating procedure.
4. Set the SETUP mode “Metronome setting” to “On” if click
sound is to be output according to the setup tempo map.
Refer to page “102”, SETUP mode “Metronome setting”
for operating procedure.
5. Press the [DISP SEL] key while holding down the [SHIFT]
key, and then change the time base display to BAR/BEAT/
CLK.
Confirming the MIDI clock sync
During recording and at playback following the recording,
the time base (BAR/BEAT/CLK) is displayed in accordance
to the setup tempo map, and the MIDI clock and song position
pointer is also output.
Confirm that the travel position (BAR/BEAT/CLK) of the VF-
16 and the travel position of the synchronized MIDI
sequencer are matched.
If correct sync cannot be obtained, re-check the connections/
cables and setting of both equipment.
<Note>
In the VF-16, the “ABS 0” position is set at “-002BAR/
1BEAT /00CLK.” This setting is made in consideration
of the time required (it will not sync immediately) for the
MIDI sequencer, etc. to enter into sync. As a result, if the
VF-16 is played back from ABS 0 (LOCATE ABS 0), sync
will be completed by the time it reaches the first bar, and
will thus synchronize from head of the tune.
Execution of recording
Various ways of recording can be conducted while
synchronizing the VF-16 and the MIDI sequencer with the
MIDI clock.
MTC sync/MIDI machine control system
The following will explain synchronization by the MTC (MIDI time code) output and the computer controlling
system using MMC (MIDI machine control). In this system, the VF-16 will be the master and the computer (with
sequence software) will be the slave. The VF-16 will attach any desired offset (time difference) against ABS time
(absolute time) and output it as MTC in any desired frame rate. It can also carry out the proper operation upon
receiving an MMC from outside. In this case, because the VF-16 can setup a DEVICE ID number by the SETUP
mode “MIDI Device ID Setting” menu, a multiple number of the VF-16’s can be separately controlled by changing
the DEVICE ID numbers in the transmitted message from the computer.
