CLOCKWORKS FOR MAC OS 9
82
☛ Make sure that your MMC device supports rehearse
mode before attempting to use this record feature. If it
doesn’t, rehearse mode may actually record. Consult the
manual for your MMC device for details.
Record
This mode allows recording on the currently record-
enabled track(s) for any MMC device. To actually record,
press the record button in ClockWorks’ transport controls
(Figure 6-28 on page 79).
ClockWorks only / Any application
The right-hand menu has two choices: ClockWorks only
and Any application. When ClockWorks only is chosen,
recording will only occur when ClockWorks is the active
application. This mode is useful for preventing accidental
recording when you switch to your sequencer (or other
MMC-compatible software) on the Macintosh.
When Any application is chosen, ClockWorks still controls
whether or not recording will occur, but you can initiate
recording from other FreeMIDI compatible programs,
such as Performer or Digital Performer, that you may have
running at the same time as ClockWorks. First, make sure
that FreeMIDI Sync is enabled. Then press the record
button in ClockWorks to allow recording. When you
switch to another FreeMIDI application, such as
Performer, ClockWorks’ record button will remain on. If
you then hit play in the other program (e.g. Performer),
recording will happen. If you want to control record
functions entirely in Performer, turn off FreeMIDI Sync so
that ClockWorks doesn’t interfere with Performer.
VTR Recording options
The VTR recording options determine how the Sony 9-pin
compatible video tape recorder (VTR) will respond when
it is put into record. This feature is only available in the
MOTU Digital Timepiece synchronizer. It is grayed out
when you are using a MOTU MIDI interface.
FreeMIDI Sync
When the FreeMIDI Sync option is checked, ClockWorks’
transport buttons will control the transport functions
(play, stop, rewind, and locate) of other FreeMIDI
applications running in the background.
