INTERFACING THE DMX
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYNCHRONIZING THE DMX AND THE DSX DIGITAL POLYPHONIC SEQUENCER
The DMX and the DSX have been designed to operate in sync with each
other. When the DMX runs in tandem with a DSX or another DMX, one
unit must be the master and the other the slave.
HOOKUP
Using a cable with a mono or stereo 1/4" phone plug at each end,
connect the CLOCK OUT jack on the rear panel of the unit to be the
master to the CLOCK IN jack on the rear panel of the unit to be the
slave.
OPERATION
Each unit will operate the same as before with the following
exceptions:
The TEMPO is controlled by the master. Increasing the tempo
on the master will increase the tempo on the slave as well.
The DMX and DSX have the same TEMPO programming. Recordings
may be made separately and synchronized later.
To Record, press RECORD and PLAY as before. The only
difference here is that recording on the slave will not start
until the master is playing.
SYNCHRONIZATION TRICKS
The synchronization between the DMX and the DSX is the EXTERNAL
CLOCK, which is a subdivision of the metronome. The tempo of the
master unit will control the tempo of the slave. Sequences may be
any length on either machine. When the master starts, the interrupt
clock will start the slave at the same time (the slave must be in
PLAY or RECORD). When the master sequence stops, the interrupt
clock from the master will stop and consequently, so will the slave,
even if it has not finished its sequence or if it finished and
started over. The same with songs. The sequences within a song
will play one after the other until the end of the master song.
