Various Settings (Q-Link Functions, Setup Mode)

■ [F2] key/SYNC parameter

The following parameters are used to synchronize the DPS16 to an external MIDI device. Use the [F2] key to

toggle the sync operation ON and OFF. When this field is set to ON, the DPS16 and the external device operate

in sync as specified in the field (2). (Refer to Chapter 12 “MIDI Applications” for more information on the

sync operation using external devices.)

2 This field enables you to select the type of sync operation of the DPS16 and the external device. Move

the cursor to this field and turn the [JOG] wheel to select a type from the following four options.

• MIDI CLK/MASTER .The MIDI clock and Song Position Pointer are transmitted from the MIDI OUT jack

of the DPS16 to synchronize with the external device.

• MTC/MASTER ..............The MIDI timecode (MTC) is transmitted from the MIDI OUT jack. The MTC frame

rate parameter is set in Setup mode. (See page 132.)

• MTC/SLAVE ................ The DPS16 receives the MIDI timecode (MTC) at the MIDI IN jack and synchronizes

to the timecode. The frame rate parameter is set in Setup mode. (See page 137.)

• OFF ............................... Synchronization is turned off. (The same occurs when you press the [F2] key to set the

SYNC parameter to “OFF”.)

■ [F3] key/DIGITAL CLOCK parameter

This parameter enables you to select a digital clock source for DPS16 operation. Use the [F3] key to toggle

between two settings (INT and DIG IN).

• INT (internal clock) ................. The DPS16 follows its internal clock (default setting). For usual use, select this

setting.

• DIG IN (external clock) .......... The DPS16 locks to the external digital clock.

TIP :

When a digital signal is input from the DIGITAL IN jack of the DPS16, select “DIG IN ” (external

clock) to obtain quality signal.
