300 SYNCHRONIZATION
Menu: Options
Keyboard shortcut: Shift + G
This window is for customizing the synchronization according to your requirements. The
two available formats are MIDI clock and MTC (MIDI time code). While SMPTE is used in
combination with MTC, Samplitude principally only understands the digital MIDI time code.
SMPTE is an analog time code format that cannot be understood by the computer. It
requires translation. Generally, a MIDI interface driver converts the SMPTE signal to MIDI
time code.
Master Synchronization
Samplitude supports MIDI clock and MIDI timecode output.
Sync output is directly linked to audio playback so that no delays occur between
Samplitude and external devices, even with long tracks.
• In this case you should use a virtual MIDI router for internally linking the programs.
Wherever possible please use MTC -25 frames/sec. as, unlike with MIDI clock, no
tempo changes have to be taken into account.
• If Samplitude is running as master, please set the FX factor to 1.0.
• For best synchronization stability, please deactivate the virtual memory if possible.
Slave synchronization with real chase lock
This option should always be used if a part of the synchronization cannot be clocked
centrally via black burst, word clock, or the digital input, and Samplitude is the "slave". If
your entire studio is linked to a central beat, you should not use "Chase lock".
Samplitude supports real "Chase lock" synchronization, i.e. audio playback can be
controlled precisely by a received timecode signal (MC or MTC). In this case, not only the
starting point of audio playback is controlled externally, but sync also controls playback
