Chapter 12: MIDI Applications
6. Set up the external device so that it will transmit MTC from the MIDI OUT connector, and start
playing the device.
When the DPS16 receives MTC, it starts playing, syncing to the MIDI device.
TIP :
If the MTC supplied from the external device passes through the zero point (00:0:00:00.0) of the
DPS16’s absolute time, the DPS16 will stop at the zero point. If you wish to have the DPS16 operate through
the zero point, set the offset in relative time in Setup mode, and set the TIME DISPLAY parameter of the Q-
Link function to “RELA ” (see pages 102 and 108).
Controlling the DPS16 remotely from an external device (MMC)
MMC (MIDI Machine Control) is MIDI information that enables you to remotely control MIDI devices (other
than MIDI musical instrument), such as the DPS16. To control the selection and de-selection of recording tracks
and the transport operation of the DPS16 remotely, you must send MMC from an external device (such as a
computer-based MIDI sequencer) to the DPS16.
Follow the steps below to control the recording and playback operation of the DPS16 from an external device via
MMC.
1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI IN connector of the DPS16 and the MIDI OUT connector of
an external device.

2. Press the [SETUP] key to recall Setup mode, then press the [F3] (MISC.) key.
3. Move the cursor to the MMC device field, and specify the device ID (0126) of the external device
that transmits MMC.
A device ID is an identification number that enables the DPS16 to identify each device connected to the
system via MIDI. The ID of the device that transmits MMC should match the ID of the device that receives
MMC so that you can control the DPS16 via MMC. Refer to the manual that came with the external device or
software for more information on setting the device ID on the corresponding device.
If the device ID numbers match, the DPS16 can always receive MMC.
TIP :
The DPS16 and a MIDI sequencer can synchronize each other while you are controlling the DPS16
for recording or playback from the MIDI sequencer.
