Setup of D-160
1 . Because MTC will be output from D-160, set to "MTC" the SETUP mode "MIDI sync signal
output setting."
# Refer to page "150", SETUP mode "2-8. MIDI sync signal output setting" for operating
procedure.
2 . Set a random offset time by the SETUP mode "MTC offset time setting."
* Initial setting: 00h (Hour) 59m (Minute) 57s (Second) 00f (Frame) 00sf (Sub Frame)
* Permissible setup time: 00h 00m 00s 00f 00sf ~ 23h 59m 59s 29f 99sf
* This item can be set for each program.
* The setting can be saved/loaded as song data.
* This setting will be held even though power is switched OFF.
# Refer to page "152", SETUP mode "2-10. MTC offset time setting" for operating
procedure.
3 . In the SETUP mode "MTC offset mode setting," whether the MTC offset time setup in Step 2
should be output (ABS) at the ABS 00m 00s 00f 00sf position or at the 001BAR 1BEAT 00CLK
(bar, signature) must be selected.
* Initial setting: ABS
* Permissible setup item: ABS, Bar
* This item can be setup for each program.
* The setting can be saved/loaded as song data.
* This setting will be held even though power is switched OFF.
# Refer to page "153", SETUP mode "2-11. MTC offset mode setting" for operating
procedure.
4 . Setup to the same frame rate as that setup by the sequence software by "MTC Frame rate
setting" of the SETUP mode.
* Initial setting: 25 frames
* Permissible setup of frame rate: 24, 25, 29nd, 29df, 30nd, 30df
* This item can be setup for each program.
* The setting can be saved/loaded as song data.
* This setting will be held even though power is switched OFF.
# Refer to page "151", SETUP mode "2-9. MTC Frame rate setting" for operating
procedure and details.
5 . Set to the same figure as the sequence software MMC device number (and Fostex System
Exclusive Message device number) by the SETUP mode "MIDI device ID setting."
When the sequence software transmits by "7F," it means "ALL DEVICE" and therefore, it
need not be setup. The D-160 transmitting device ID will also function in parallel with this
setting.
