Master and slave
When the CDX-1 plays in synchronization with a MIDI sequencer, the device that
transmits the time data is called the
master . The device that receives the time data
transmitted by the reference device (master) and follows this data is called the slave .
When playing in synchronization with a MIDI sequencer, the CDX-1 can be
used as the master (transmitting) device, but not as the slave (receiving)
device. Also, the MIDI sequencer must be set as the slave (receiving) device.
