Chapter 10: Syncing to Tape and Other Devices

1. 30 (30 frames per second, non-drop):

This is the old NTSC standard for black and

white television, and is the most popular stan-

dard for SMPTE-based music production in the

U.S. and Japan. To assure widest compatibility

for your recordings, use this standard if you are

working in this field.

2. 29.97 DROP (29.97 frames per second, drop

frame):

This is the NTSC standard for color television. In

the MPC60 version 2 software and earlier, this

mode was erroneously called 30 DROP; we

apologize for this mistake. To be clear, this signal

runs at a rate of 29.97 frames per second and

frames are occasionally omitted, in accordance

with the SMPTE drop frame standard.

3. 24 (24 frames per second):

This is the standard for film. However, since film

is usually transferred to video for scoring, com-

posers generally still work with video rates of 30

or 29.97 drop.

4. 25 (25 frames per second, non-drop):

This is the standard for European television (PAL

/SECAM standard).

If MIDI TIME CODE is selected in the Mode field, the following

screen is displayed:

===== Sync In ====== ==== Sync Out ====

Mode:MIDI TIME CODE MIDI sync:OUT A

Start:00:00:00:00.00

Frames:30

MIDI in:2

==================== ==================

<SyncIn=ON > <GenSMPTE>

In this case, the fields are:

• The Start field:

This has the same function as the field of the same name

that appears when SMPTE is selected in the Mode field,

as described above.

• The Frames field:

This has the same function as the field of the same name

that appears when SMPTE is selected in the Mode field.
