Setting an MTC frame rate
The “Setting an MTC frame rate” menu enables you to set
the frame rate for MTC output from the MIDI OUT connec-
tor of the FD-4 to an external MIDI device. If you have al-
ready set the type of MIDI sync output signal to [MTC], you
need to set the frame rate. Use the frame rate of MTC re-
ceived by the external MIDI device (or sequence software).
• Initial setting: 25 frames
• Setting range of frame rate: 24, 25, 30df, 30nd
* You can set the value for each Program individually.
* The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the song data.
* The settings are maintained after you turn off the power to the unit.
Setting an MTC frame rate
1. While the FD-4 is stopped, press the SETUP key to enter
SETUP mode.
2. Turn the JOG dial to select [Frame Rate (?)] (“e” and “?”
flash alternately.), then press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The current frame rate setting appears on the display.
Press the EXECUTE/YES key to turn off the flashing [?]
character; the current setting flashes. The initial setting
of [25] flashes as shown below.
Setting an MTC offset value
The “Setting an MTC offset value” menu enables you to
specify an offset time value – the difference between the
time of MTC output from the FD-4 and the ABS 00m 00s
00f 00sf time. You need to specify this value if you have
selected [MTC] for the “Setting MIDI sync output signal”
menu.
With the initial setting of 00h 59m 57s 00f 00sf, for ex-
ample, MTC of 59m 57s 00f 00sf is output at the ABS time
00m 00s 00f 00sf. You can also set an offset value from the
001 BAR 1 00 CLK value (bar/beat) on the Tempo Map.
Refer to the next section for information on MTC Offset
mode.
• Initial setting: 00h 59m 57s 00f 00sf
• Setting range of offset time: 00h 00m 00s 00f 00sf – 23h 59m 59s
29f 99sf
* You can set the value for each Program individually.
* The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the song data.
* The settings are maintained after you turn off the power to the unit.
Setting an MTC offset
1. While the FD-4 is stopped, press the SETUP key to enter
SETUP mode.
2. Turn the JOG dial to select [Mtc Offset (?)] (“t” and “?”
flash alternately.), then press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The current offset value appears on the display. Pressing
the EXECUTE/YES key turns off the flashing [?] character,
and the value in seconds flashes.
You can enter a value at the flashing digit. The number
“57” of the initial setting [57s] flashes as shown below.
3. Turn the JOG dial to enter the desired frame rate.
Rotating the JOG dial clockwise or counter-clockwise
displays available frame rates as an alternative.
4. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The selected frame rate is stored and the display returns
to the indication with a flashing [?] that appeared in step
2.
To cancel the operation, or to restore the setting obtained prior to
the EXECUTE/YES key press, press the STOP button or the EXIT/
NO key. Each time you press one of these keys, the FD-4 returns to
the previous hierarchy level of the menu, and finally exits SETUP
mode and displays the previous Time Base.
3. Use the HOLD/> key, the REWIND button, or the F FWD
button to move the flashing cursor, and turn the JOG dial to
enter the desired offset value.
Press the HOLD/> key or the F FWD button to move the
flashing cursor to the right, and press the REWIND
button to move it to the left. Turning the JOG dial
continuously will round up the number to the next digit.
For example, if you rotate the JOG dial on the seconds
digit up 59, turning the dial further will increase the
number on the digit of minute by one.
4. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The selected offset value is stored and the display
returns to the indication with the flashing [?] that
appeared in step 2.
