Setup of the VF80EX
Because the MIDI clock and song position pointer will
be output from the VF80EX, set the SETUP mode “MIDI
sync signal output setting” to “CLK.”
Refer to page “138” , SETUP mode “MIDI sync signal output
setting” for correct operating procedures.
The meter in the desired bar can be set by “Time
signature setting” of the SETUP mode.
Refer to page “134” , SETUP mode “Time Signature Setting”
for operating procedure.
Tempo in the desired bar can be set by “Tempo setting”
of the SETUP mode.
Refer to page “136” , SETUP mode “Tempo Setting” for
operating procedure.
Set the SETUP mode “Metronome setting” to “On” if
click sound is to be output according to the setup
tempo map.
Refer to page “137” , SETUP mode “Metronome setting” for
operating procedure.

Confirming the MIDI clock sync
During recording and at playback following the
recording, the time base (BAR/BEAT/CLK) is displayed
in accordance to the setup tempo map, and the MIDI
clock and song position pointer is also output.
Confirm that the travel position (BAR/BEAT/CLK) of
the VF80EX and the travel position of the
synchronized MIDI sequencer are matched.
If correct sync cannot be obtained, re-check the
connections/cables and setting of both equipment.
<Note>
In the VF80EX, the “ABS 0” position is set at “-002BAR/
1BEAT /00CLK.” This setting is made in consideration of
the time required (it will not sync immediately) for the
MIDI sequencer, etc. to enter into sync. As a result, if the
VF80EX is played back from ABS 0 (LOCATE ABS 0), sync
will be completed by the time it reaches the first bar, and
will thus synchronize from head of the tune.
Press the [TIME BASE SEL] key, and then change the
time base display to BAR/BEAT/CLK.
Various ways of recording can be conducted while
synchronizing the VF80EX and the MIDI sequencer
with the MIDI clock.
Executing of recording
MTC sync/MIDI machine control system
The following will explain synchronization by the M T C M T C M T C M T C M T C (MIDI time code) output and the computer controlling
system using MMC (MIDI machine control). In this system, the VF80EX will be the master and the computer (with
sequence software) will be the slave. The VF80EX will attach any desired offset (time difference) against ABS time
(absolute time) and output it as MTC in any desired frame rate. It can also carry out the proper operation upon
receiving an MMC from outside. In this case, because the VF80EX can setup a DEVICE ID number by the SETUP
mode
“MIDI Device ID Setting” menu, a multiple number of the VF80EX’s can be separately controlled by changing
the DEVICE ID numbers in the transmitted message from the computer.
