SETUP mode (VF80EX)
Use the [JOG] dial to select the desired offset mode
and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The selected offset mode will be set.
Setting the Slave mode [“Slave Mode”]
Using the "Slave Mode" menu item, you can switch on or off the slave mode.
When switching the slave mode "On", the VF80EX can run in sync with an external device via an MTC.
To run in sync with an external device, you also must select the external sync signal by the "Slave Type" menu
item.
On the Select Menu screen of the SETUP mode, se-
lect "Slave Mode" and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The currently selected slave mode starts flashing (by
default, "Off" is selected).
Use the [JOG] dial to select the desired slave mode
("On" or "Off") and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or the [STOP] key) repeat-
edly until the VF80EX exits the SETUP mode.
If you select "On" in step 2, "SLAVE" flashes on the
Normal screen. While the VF80EX is locked to an ex-
ternal master, "SLAVE" lights steadily.
[ABS] (default) The MTC offset value you set is output
at the ABS 0 (00h 00m 00s 00f) position.
[BAR ] The MTC offset time is output at the
musical starting position (001bar 1beat
00clk) on the Tempo Map.
Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or the [STOP] key) repeat-
edly until the VF80EX exits the SETUP mode.

Setting the Slave type [“Slave Type”]
Using the "Slave Type" menu item, you can select the slave type when the VF80EX runs as a slave of an
external master.
<Notes>
• Regardless of slave type selection, the VF80EX needs
to receive an MTC from an external device.
• The rechase window of the VF80EX is fixed to 10
frames. This means that, when the slave (VF80EX)
timecode shifts off the master more than 10 frames,
the VF80EX judges that the chase-lock is not achieved
and rechases the master. While rechasing the master,
audio is muted. Note that if the timecode difference
between the slave and master is within 10 frames, the
VF80EX accepts it and does not rechase the master.
• The digital signal selected when the slave mode is set
to "On" is used for the external synchronization.
This is different from the digital signal selection for
digital audio recording (see "Digital input setting" de
scribed later).
• Default: Vari
• Available options: Vari, Free, SPDIF
* The setting is applicable program by program.
* You can save the setting as a part of the song data.
* The setting remains effective even after you power off and then
on.
