The GEN SYNC button is used to enable/disable the output of sync
information. Sync information may be sent as SMPTE, MTC (MIDI
Time-Code) or MIDI-Clock (see section 5.1). Pressing the GEN SYNC
button will enable the output of sync information and its LED will
light.
Whenever the tape is in motion and GEN SYNC is enabled (LED lit),
the sync information will be sent to the SMPTE OUT or MIDI OUT
ports, depending on the type of sync you have selected.
To edit the type of sync to output:
1. Press the EDIT button (the EDIT button LED will go on to indicate
you are in Edit mode);
2. Press the GEN SYNC button;
The display will show:
Generate Sync
SMPTE:
O FF
3. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to cycle through the three choices: +4
dB, -10 dB and OFF.
Selecting +4 will cause SMPTE to be output at a +4 dB level. Selecting
-10 will cause SMPTE to be output at a -10 dB level. Selecting OFF
means no SMPTE will be output.
4. Pressing the GEN SYNC button again displays the following page:
Generate Sync
MIDI: O FF
5. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to cycle through the three choices:
MTC, CLOCK, and OFF;
Selecting MTC will cause MIDI Time-Code to be sent out the MIDI
Out port. Selecting CLOCK will cause MIDI-Clock (with Song-Position
Pointer) to be sent out the MIDI Out port. When MIDI-Clock is being
sent, it will be directly related to the Tempo Map (see section 5.1).
Selecting OFF means no MIDI sync information will be sent out.
6. Press the EDIT button to exit edit mode;
