Synchronizing external MIDI sequencers and rhythm machines
Section 5
4.
Move the cursor to the SYNC TRACK icon and press
[ENTER/YES].
Alternatively, you can press [F3] (SYNC TRACK) if the
SYNC TRACK icon is currently displayed.
The message “Waiting for Clock...” will appear and the
BR-1600CD will enter MIDI Timing Clock Standby
mode.
fig.50-12d
5.
Start playback on the MIDI sequencer or rhythm machine.
The BR-1600CD will start to record MIDI timing clock
signals.
Note that it will not be possible to perform playback or
recording while these signals are being recorded. In
addition, it will also not be possible to play back rhythm
performances.
Tempos in a range of 25 to 250 BPM can be recorded. All
tempos higher than 250 BPM will be recorded as being
250 BPM; similarly, any tempo lower than 25 BPM will
be recorded as 25 BPM.
Approximately 4,000 eighth notes (i.e., approximately
500 measures in 4/4-time) can be recorded in a sync
track. If this limit is reached, the BR-1600CD will
automatically stop recording.
6.
When playback has reached the point at which you
would like to stop recording, stop playback on the
external MIDI sequencer or rhythm machine.
The recording of MIDI timing clock signals will stop
automatically, and the display will return to the top screen.
This completes the process for creating a sync track.
7.
If you wish to store the sync track that has been created,
save the current song (p. 72).
Note that only one sync track can be recorded per song.
●
Let’s now try to synchronize playback of the
MIDI sequencer or rhythm machine to the BR-
1600CD based on the sync track that was
created.
1.
Referring to the user’s manual for the MIDI sequencer
or rhythm machine, set up this device as a
synchronization slave and enable the reception of
MIDI timing clock signals.
2.
Reconnect the MIDI cable as shown below.
fig.50-13
3.
Press [UTILITY].
The Utility Menu screen will appear.
fig.12-12d
4.
Move the cursor to the SYNC icon and press [ENTER/
YES].
Alternatively, you can press [F2] (SYNC) if the SYNC
icon is currently displayed.
The synchronization setting screen will appear.
