SYNCHRONIZATION 307
since two audio applications cannot address one driver output at the same time.
Alternatively, you can also use two different audio outputs.
Similar applies to the MIDI interface required for synchronization. In this case, the MIDI port
is usually opened by one program, and other applications are then denied access. Two
MIDI interfaces linked together can also be used. There is a more elegant solution: Small
auxiliary programs (Hubis Loopback for Win 95 & Win 98 or MIDI Yoke [www.MIDIox.com]
for Win 98, Win NT, Win XP) install several virtual MIDI ports on the computer that can then
be linked together.
To synchronize with the software sequencer via MTC and use Samplitude as master, start
both programs first. Now connect the MIDI output of the MIDI port used by
Samplitude with the MIDI input of the system to be synchronized, or patch this virtually
using an auxiliary program.
Next, select the corresponding MIDI port in Samplitude's “Synchronization/MTC output”
window and activate the MTC output. On the slave, select the corresponding “slave” or
“receive MTC” option. This setting is independent of the program being used. Activate the
active MIDI IN port. Ensure that the same frame rate is set for both systems. Now, if you
start playback in Samplitude, the slave system will follow and sync with the master.
Important: Always observe that the sync start position of the slave system is identical with
the start position of Samplitude. If SMPTE Sync start cannot be set for the other
sequencer, you can also enter the starting time of the other system in Samplitude at
“Synchronization/VIP start time/SMPTE offset”.
4. MIDI time code (MTC) synchronization using a second software sequencer.
Samplitude is slave.
This method is generally the same as in point 3. However, the master/slave setting has to
be reversed, i.e. MIDI OUT from the other sequencer to Samplitude's MIDI IN.
