SYNCHRONIZING WITH
THE EXTERNAL CLOCK
The Exernal Clock generally provides the "
tightes" syc
between machines and is
the recommended timing source if you have a choice of hookups. The DX can be set
to three different clock rates: 96
, 48
, or 24
Puls per
Quarter note. Most equipment
uses one of these standards. The extemal clock can be
use for timing at the
same
time that MIDI is
use for notes.
Setup
For bes results
, tum off both units before
conneting. Using a cable
with a 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
rea panel of the unn to be the slave.
The DX can be interfaced wnh other Oberheim components using the tape jacks
instead of the clock jacks. Try this hookup is you experience excesive noise.
DX
As Mastel
Set EDIT PARAMETER 01 (TIMING SOURCE) to "
I" for Intemal Clock. Set EDIT
PARAMETER 03 (CLOCK OUT RATE) to "
96;' to transmn the Oberhelm System Clock
standard of 96 pulses per quarter note; or the appropriate setting for equipment that
nees a different clock rate.
DX
As
SIa"e
Set EDIT PARAMETER 01 (TIMING SOURCE) to "
96;' to respond to the Oberheim
System Clock standard of 96 pulses per quarer note; or the appropriate setting for
equipment that nees a different clock rate. For AUTO
START operation
, set EDIT
PARAMETER 02 to "
On:'
Opetlon
Each unn wil operate the same as before wnh the following exceptions:
The TEMPO Is controlled by the maser.
Incresing the tempo on the master
will
increas the tempo on slave as well. The DX and DSX/DMX have the
sae TEMPO
programming. Recordings may be made separtely and synchronized later.
Auto Start
If a slaved DX has its Auto Start function tumed on
, n will recognize incoming clock
pulse and automatically enter the PLAY mode whenever clock pulse start. If n does
not se any pulse for 125 miliseconds
(1 /8 seond), n wil automatically
STOP. These
feaures allow the DX to be remotely stared and
stoppe by the
extemal clock pulse.
Note that pressing STOP will not stop the DX
clock pulse continue; the DX wil rec-
ognize the continuing clock pulse and jump back into PLAY after
the STOP buton is
release. To stop the slave DX
, it is
neces to
stop the master.
If Auto Start is turned off
, PLAY or RECORD must be
pres on
the slave unit before
starting the master.
Reclng
as Master
Press RECORD and PLAYas before. The slave units will start as soon as the master
DX starts recrding.
Recording
as
Sla"e
Follow this procedure: Turn AUTO-TART OFF (Edn Parameter 02); Place the DX into
Record by presing RECORD and PLAY; Then start the master clock source.
