Synchronizing Playback With an External Device
You can synchronize operation of the MRT-3 to an external device with MIDI OUT, such as a
MIDI sequencer or recorder. The MRT-3 then performs pattern or song playback using the tempo
supplied by the external device.
1.
Connect the MIDI OUT jack of the MIDI sequencer/recorder to the [MIDI IN]
connector of the MRT-3, using a MIDI cable.
The illustration shows an example for connecting the Multitrak Recording Studio ZOOM
MRS-4 to the MRT-3. If you connect the output of the MRT-3 to the AUX IN jack of the
MRS-4, as shown here, the MRT-3 can be used to supply a dedicated rhythm track without
taking up any audio tracks of the MRS-4
Make sure that the external MIDI sequencer can send MIDI Clock, Start, Stop, and Continue signals.
2.
In pattern mode, press the [FUNCTION] key and then pad 6 (MIDI).
The clock currently used by the MRT-3 is shown on the display.
The meaning of the indication is as follows.
•Int (Internal)
The MRT-3 operates with its internal clock (default setting). This is the setting for using
the MRT-3 on its own.
• Midi (MIDI clock)
The MRT-3 receives a clock signal from an external source (MIDI sequencer/recorder
etc.) and synchronizes the playback tempo to this signal. Transport operations (playback
start, stop, restart) and locate operations (moving the current position) can also be
controlled remotely from the external device.
• rMt (Remote)
The MRT-3 operates on its internal clock, as with "Int". However, transport operations
only can be controlled remotely from an external device.
