* SMPTE Master or Slave (with the IB-24LTC option)

2) synchronize my Ensoniq ZR76 to the DPS

Similar to above, set the DPS24 Time Sync parameter (in SETUP) to MIDI CLOCK OUT.

Set the Tempo / Time Signature of the DPS24 (in SETUP / TEMPO).

Enable the EXT SYNC key (green), to start generating MIDI CLOCK, Start/Stop commands as well

as SPP (Song Position Pointers). Set your Ensoniq to act as the slave.

3) how to slave an mc-303?

I believe that the MC303 only accepts MIDI CLOCK, not MTC. Therefore,

Set the DPS24 Time Sync parameter (in SETUP) to MIDI CLOCK OUT.

Set the Tempo / Time Signature of the DPS24 (in SETUP / TEMPO).

Enable the EXT SYNC key to start generating MIDI CLOCK, Start/Stop commands as well as SPP

(Song Position Pointers).

4) sync DPS 24 with Cubase SX in the PC (thru MIDI- MTC).

Set the DPS24 to MTC MASTER and Cubase to MTC Slave at the same Frame rate (25 or 30 fps).

Also the EXT SYNC key has to be enabled on the DPS24 to generate MTC.

That will take care of the synchronization.

If you also want the BAR/Beat counter of the DPS24 to match Cubase, you also have to set the

DPS24 to the same Tempo and Time Signature (in SETUP /TEMPO) as your sequencer. This is only

a display issue.

Studio>CR Button Function

I've got a headphone amp connected to the "Studio Foldback Outputs" of the DPS. There are two

problems I can't figure out.

1) I get no signal to the headphone amp when I depress the Studio==>CR button.

2) When I depress the Studio==>CR button, it mutes the output of my nearfield monitors which are

connected to the "Nearfield Monitor Outputs".

The Studio Cue Mix uses Channel Sends 3 and/or 4 (Studio can be configured as a mono cue mix, 2

independent mono cue mixes or one stereo cue mix). This avoids repatching cable from AUX 3/4

outputs and Studio outputs between track laying and mixing. Also, the Talkback Mic is only going to

Studio outputs, not to Aux 3/4.

The Studio outputs are enabled in MIXER / FX/AUX SETUP

For typical Stereo Cue Mix:

* Change the Q4 (FX/Aux 3/4) from 2 x MONO to 1 x STEREO

* Change the Q5 (FX/Aux 3/4 >) from FX3+FX4 to STUDIO L+R

Then, the Cue mix is set using the Channel's sends controls: AUX3 for level control and AUX4 for

pan control. (and the Cue mix master level is set using AUX 3/4 Master Sends)

Note that with V1.50, with the new Fader Flip feature, you can use the Faders for setting the cue mix

levels and the Q-Strip knobs for the Cue Mix pans.
