the synchronization source must support MTC and be configured as the
"master".
• For example, if you use "MIDI Yoke NT1" under "Input synchronization", then the
device "MIDI Yoke NT 1" must also be set in the MTC output in the master.
Synchronizing Samplitude/Sequoia with MAGIX Video Pro X5
This section should help you synchronize MAGIX Video Pro X5 with
Samplitude/Sequoia for Surround productions.
The introduction featured here provides a single example. In this case, MAGIX Video
Pro X5 is the master: Samplitude/Sequoia follows the time information from MAGIX
Video Pro X5 but sends information from the transport control to MAGIX Video Pro
X5. This method allows playback from both programs to be started while they run
synchronously.
The chapter "Transferring a Surround project to MAGIX Video Pro X5 (view page
198)" explains how completed Surround projects are transferred from
S
amplitude/Sequoia to MAGIX Video Pro X5 and how they are processed.
Requirements
Since synchronization occurs via MTC (MIDI time code), a virtual MIDI driver must
be installed. Examples are "MIDI Yoke" or "Hubi's MIDI Loopback Device". Configure
the driver as required so that at least two virtual MIDI devices are available.
If a Surround project is to be created, then you require a Surround-capable sound card
with at least 6 channels.
Setting up MAGIX Video Pro X5
• Open the synchronization dialog
• Activate the box "Input synchronization active".
• Under "Device", set the first free virtual MIDI device (e.g. "MIDI Yoke NT 1").
Now set the transport controls via MMC (MIDI machine control):
• Click the "MMC button" to open the "MIDI machine control".
• Activate the box "Receive MMC commands (slave)".
• Under "Device", set the second free virtual MIDI device (e.g. "MIDI Yoke NT 2").
• Close both dialogs by pressing the "OK" button.
