Chapter 10: Syncing to Tape and Other Devices
Page 190
The SYNC Screen
To access the sync input and output settings, press the TEMPO/SYNC
key, followed by the <Sync> soft key. The following screen will be
displayed:
===== Sync In ====== ==== Sync Out ====
Mode:MIDI CLOCK MIDI clock:OUT A
Shift early(msec):20
MIDI input:2
Song pointer:ON
==================== ==================
<SyncIn=OFF> <GenSMPTE>
This screen has two sections, Sync In and Sync Out.
The Sync In section
The left side of the Sync screen shows all settings related to slaving the
MPC60 to an external source. There are five possible sync input signals:
1. MIDI CLOCK:
This is the standard method of syncing two MIDI devices together.
Since the sync signal is only sent over MIDI, this method cannot be
used with tape. When the MPC60 is slaved to MIDI clock, the internal
tempo settings are not used, because MIDI clock provides the tempo
information.
2. SMPTE:
SMPTE timecode is a standard sync code used in video, film,
and music. SMPTE code contains information about absolute elapsed
time, but no tempo information. So when syncing to SMPTE, the
MPC60’s internal tempo settings are used. When syncing to SMPTE,
always use the same tempo setting each time you play the sequence or
song. Tip: using the SEQ (sequence) tempo mode (set in the Tempo
Source field of the Play/Record screen) will ensure that your sequences
will play at the desired tempo, because that tempo is stored with the
sequence disk file.
3. MIDI TIME CODE:
MIDI Time Code is similar to SMPTE timecode except that the timing
information is converted into a signal that is sent over MIDI. As such,
it cannot be recorded on tape.
4. FSK24:
