SYNCHRONIZATION 301
speed if "Chase lock" is activated. This enables Samplitude to follow the sync of analog
tape machines or VCRs for quite some time (which always have a certain amount of lag)
without delay.
By entering the "sync velocity", you can influence the speed of the tempo adjustment. The
greater the sync velocity, the faster Samplitude will follow sync master tempo changes;
however, this also means that the pitch fluctuation in the audio material is greater.
Only use values greater than 100 if Samplitude does not synchronize precisely in standard
cases.
MIDI clock input device: Select the driver via which Samplitude should receive for MIDI
clock synchronization.
BPM: Enter the tempo at which you want to receive the MIDI clock.
MIDI clock output device: Select the driver via which Samplitude should send for
synchronization MIDI clock.
BPM: Enter the tempo at which you want to send the MIDI clock.
MTC input device: Select the driver via which Samplitude should receive the MIDI
timecode.
MTC output device: Select the driver via which Samplitude should send the MIDI
timecode.
Chase lock sync active: Activates chase lock synchronization.
Sync velocity: The greater the sync velocity, the faster Samplitude will follow a sync
master tempo changes; this also means that the pitch fluctuation in the audio material is
also greater. Only use values greater than 100 if Samplitude does not synchronize precisely
in standard cases.
When using the hardware pitching feature, chase lock synchronization uses direct access
to the sample rate of the sound card in 1 Hz steps. This achieves particularly precise
synchronization without additional CPU load. However, this feature has to be supported
specially by the sound card.
Sample-precise reference timing: Samplitude takes the time position of the sound card
as the clock reference (timer) and not its own internal timer. This achieves synchronicity of
the recorded audio material with the sync signal.
SMPTE settings
Type: Select a suitable frame rate, e.g. 24 for video/movies, 25 for PAL video and audio
synchronization, 30 for NTSC video.
Preroll frames: Here you can enter a frame number that Samplitude will ignore before
synchronization starts. This will ensure that analog devices first require a certain time to
