605
The following MIDI messages are sent by the master device to support MIDI Sync:
When you start playback on the master MIDI device, for example, it sends a Start
message to all slave devices, announcing that playback has started. If the slave
devices are set up correctly, they receive the message and start playing back with
the master device. When SONAR is set up as the master device, you can enable or
disable these messages.
SONAR as the Slave
When SONAR is slaved to an external MIDI device, the following changes occur:
• When you click the Play or Record button, a message (Waiting for MIDI Sync)
is displayed in the status bar. When you start your external device, SONAR
will follow.
• If you change the tempo using an external device, the SMPTE time code
display in SONAR will be incorrect.
• SONAR will not transmit MIDI Start, Continue, Stop, and Clock messages.
• Digital audio will play back, but not necessarily in sync.
Message… How it is used…
Start This message tells slave devices to start playing from the
beginning of the currently loaded sequence.
Stop This message tells slave devices to stop playback.
Continue This message tells slave devices to continue playing from the
current location in the currently loaded sequence.
Song Position Pointer
(SPP)
This message tells slave devices to change the current location to
the designated point in the project. SONAR normally issues an
SPP message immediately prior to any Start or Continue
message.
Clock The master sends clock messages to each slave device at the
rate of 24 per quarter note. The slave devices use these
messages to establish the tempo and stay in sync.
