Chapter 12: MIDI Applications
This chapter describes some examples of using the DPS16 via MIDI.
Possible operations using MIDI
You can perform the following operations on the DPS16 via MIDI.
■ Synch operation using the DPS16 and external devices
The DPS16 can synchronize external devices (MIDI sequencer, another DPS16, etc.).
• Synchronizing an external device to the DPS16 (MTC) → page 132
• Synchronizing an external device to the DPS16 (MIDI clock) → page 134
• Synchronizing the DPS16 to an external device (MTC) → page 137
■ Controlling the recording/playback operation on the DPS16 from an external device
MMC (MIDI Machine Control) enables you to control the transport function and the recording track selection/
de-selection on the DPS16 from a connected external device.
• Controlling recording/playback on the DPS16 from an external device (MMC) → page 138
■ Automating the mixing operation
Recording and playing the snapshots (mix settings) and the real-time operations of the faders and controls of
the DPS16 on the MIDI sequencer enables for mix automation.
• Recording and playing the snapshots on the MIDI sequencer → page 139
• Recording and playing the mix operations on the MIDI sequencer → page 141
Synchronizing an external device to the DPS16 (MTC)
MTC (MIDI timecode) contains timing information expressed in absolute time (hour/minute/second/frame). In
this setup, MTC is supplied from the DPS16’s MIDI THRU/OUT connector to a connected MIDI sequencer to
sync the sequencer to the transport section of the DPS16. This setup is useful when you wish to sync the DPS16 to
a MIDI sequencer with frame-accurate precision.
Follow the steps below to use MTC to synchronize the MIDI sequencer to the DPS16.
1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the DPS16’s MIDI OUT/THRU connector and the MIDI sequencer’s
MIDI IN connector .

TIP :
A device transmitting MTC (DPS16 in this case) is called an “MTC master”, and a device receiving
MTC (MIDI sequencer in this case) is called an “MTC slave”.
