302 SYNCHRONIZATION
reach the correct speed. In order to prevent synchronization of Samplitude to an invalid
time, this can be skipped by means of preroll frames.
VIP start time/SMPTE offset: Specify an offset to be deducted from the incoming SMPTE
time before the time is used for synchronization. With an offset of 01:00:00 (1 hour), you
can synchronize a tape with an SMPTE code that starts at 1 hour. The staring time of the
VIP will also be set to 01:00:00.
FX: With this factor you can equalize possible irregularities when positioning in long
samples. Perfect synchronization at the beginning of the sample is a prerequisite.
MIDI Machine Control (MMC)
(Samplitude Pro)
MMC modes
In the project options, you will find a dialog for remote control via MIDI machine control.
Samplitude supports synchronization of external devices via MMC. The following work
modes are available:
Receive MMC commands (slave): If you have set up Samplitude to work as a slave,
activate this option. Samplitude follows JOG shuttle operations, cursor position, track
mute, track solo, track input monitoring, track record ready, play, stop, fast forward,
rewind, and record commands from external devices.
Send MMC (master): Samplitude operates as master. When you use commands like
cursor position, track mute, track solo, track input monitoring, track record ready, play,
stop, fast forward, rewind, and record, the external device follows. If you also activate the
Receive MMC commands” option, Samplitude receives the current playback position of
the device and displays it as an additional blue cursor on the timeline.
While playing a range in Samplitude, the MMC device stops once the end of the range is
reached.
Transport window only controls external device
If you activate this option, the transport control no longer controls playback and record
directly within the program, but rather the external MMC device. Play, stop, fast forward,
fast rewind, and rewind no longer have a direct effect on playback in Samplitude. The
