Section 5
Synchronizing external MIDI sequencers and rhythm machines
You can use the BR-1600CD’s tempo and time position as the
master tempo and master time position so that external MIDI
sequencers and rhythm machines can be synchronized with
its playback (Master Sync). The following three
synchronization methods are available.
●
A MIDI sequencer or rhythm machine can be
synchronized to the rhythm guide’s tempo using the BR-
1600CD’s MIDI timing clock.
●
A MIDI sequencer can be synchronized to the playback
time using MTC.
●
The tempo variations programmed into a MIDI
sequencer or rhythm machine can be recorded as a sync
track on the BR-1600CD, and the sequencer or rhythm
machine can then be played back using the recorded
tempos.
Even in the case of MIDI sequencers that are compatible with
neither MTC nor MMC, synchronization to the rhythm guide
will be possible using the MIDI timing clock if Song Position
Pointers are supported. Note, however, that a tempo map
must be created for the rhythm guide in advance. For more
detailed information, refer to “Setting tempos for individual
measures (Tempo Map)” (p. 198).
Synchronizing a MIDI device to the rhythm’s
tempo using the MIDI timing clock
This is the simplest of the three synchronization methods,
and it can be used to synchronize the majority of MIDI
sequencers and rhythm machines.
In this case, the MIDI timing clock is used as the
synchronization master. Specifically, the MIDI timing clock is
a signal that is transmitted six times per sixteenth note in
accordance with the current tempo. It can be used to notify
MIDI sequencers and rhythm machines of the time elapsed
since the start of the song so that these external devices can
be synchronized.
As the majority of MIDI sequencers and rhythm machines sold
today support MIDI timing clock signals, this method will probably
provide the simplest means of achieving synchronization.
1.
Using a MIDI cable, connect the BR-1600CD to the
MIDI sound module as shown in the following
diagram.
fig.50-04
2.
Press [UTILITY].
The Utility Menu screen will appear.
fig.12-12d
3.
Move the cursor to the SYNC icon and press [ENTER/
YES].
Alternatively, you can press [F2] (SYNC) if the SYNC
icon is currently displayed.
For more information regarding MIDI sequencer
usage methods, refer to the corresponding user’s
manual. Refer to p. 231 for details regarding MMC.
The BR-1600CD does not support operation in slave
mode. In other words, it will not be possible to
synchronize the BR-1600CD to the tempo and time
position of an external MIDI sequencer or rhythm
machine.
