or MIDI Clock. This can either come from a synchronization processor (one that can
translate SMPTE or VITC timecode into MTC) or from a MIDI sequencer.
Alternatively, you can also use the MIDI sequencer to record mutes from the X2’s
console, thereby bypassing the X2’s built-in sequencer.
If you plan to use an external sequencer for automating mutes, there are several
things to consider. Not only must you choose a MIDI channel for the X2 to receive
and transmit on, you must also choose a MIDI Map which defines how the mutes
will be controlled. Because there are many sequencers available, each with its own
characteristics, the X2 provides a MIDI Map for virtually every possible situation.
Refer to the Chapter 5 for more information about Dynamic Mute Automation.
