Transmitting Synchronization Signals while Cubase VST
is synchronized to an External Source
• Cubase VST can be synchronized to an external source at the same time as it
transmits synchronization signals to another device.This means that Cubase
VST is acting as a slave to one device at the same time as being the master for
another. A common application for this would be to for example synchronize
Cubase VST to tape while transmitting MIDI clock to for example a drum ma-
chine.
• You could possibly also synchronize Cubase VST to time code and at the
same time transmit the same code in MIDI Time Code format to another de-
vice unable to read time code directly off tape.
There’s one very important fact to note:
● If several devices in your MIDI system should run at the same tempo , they
should all be synchronized using MIDI clock. Only one of them should be
synchronized to time code (if necessary), and this will be the master in the
system. All other devices should be synchronized via MIDI clock to this mas-
ter.
