Select the desired offset mode with the [JOG] dial
and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The selected offset mode will be set.
Setting the Slave mode [“Slave Mode”]
This mode allows you to choose the VF80 slave mode setting either On or Off.
If you set the slave mode to “On”, the VF80 will synchronize to the incoming MTC (MIDI Time Code) from
master unit. It will also synchronize to a type of external sync signal which you have chosen with the section
“Slave Type setting.”
Select “Slave Mode” in the menu selection display and
press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The currently set slave mode will flash. “Off” will flash
in the initial setting.
Select “On” or “Off” with the [JOG] dial and press the
[ENTER/YES] key.
Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or STOP key) to exit from
the SETUP mode.
Upon exit from the SETUP mode, the “SLAVE” icon
will flash.
This icon will change to constant lighting when VF80
is correctly synchronized with the external equipment.
[ABS] (Initial setting) The specified MTC offset time is
output at ABS 00h 00m 00s 00f.
[BAR ] The specified MTC offset time is
output at 001bar 1beat 00clk of
the Tempo Map.
Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or STOP key) to exit from
the SETUP mode.

Setting the Slave Type [“Slave Type”]
If you have set Slave Mode to “On” in the previous section “Slave Mode Setting,” you can choose what type of
external sync signal that the VF80 synchronizes to. This mode allows you to choose the external sync signal type.
<Notes>
* You need to input MTC from an external device to the
VF80 with any Slave Type.
* The VF80 re-chase window is fixed to ten frames. That
is, if an offset between the master device and slave device
exceeds ten frames, the VF80 interprets that as out of
sync, and tried to chase and lock to MTC sent from the
master device. This operation is called “re-chasing.”
During the re-chase operation, audio output is muted.
If the slave machine slips with MTC from the master
device by less than ten frames, the slave machine
continues running while recognizing the slippage.
* When you set the Slave Type, the Vari Pitch function is
automatically disabled. (The “VARI PITCH” indicator
turns off.)
Initial setting: [Vari]
Slave type option: [Vari], [Free] or [SPDIF]
* You can set the mode 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 VF80.
