Setting an MTC frame rate (“Frame Rate ?” menu)
The “Setting an MTC frame rate” menu enables you to set the frame rate for MTC output from the MIDI OUT
connector of the FD-8 to an external MIDI device. If you have already set the type of MIDI sync output signal to
[MTC], you need to set the frame rate. Use the frame rate of MTC received by the external MIDI device (or
sequence software).
• Initial setting: [25 F] (25 frames)
• Setting range of frame rate: [24 F], [25 F], [30 DF], [30 F]
* 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-8 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 F] 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.
Setting an MTC offset value (“Mtc Offset ?” menu)
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-8 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 example, 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.
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-8 returns to the previous hierarchy
level of the menu, and finally exits SETUP mode and
displays the previous Time Base.
