Creating a Tempo Map from Markers
When a project contains music and has a single time signature, you can create a tempo
map from markers you’ve placed on every beat. To learn about placing markers, see
Page 182.
1. Hold down SHIFT and press TAP—the TEMPO MAP screen appears.
2. Press F1 (TM Cnv) to display the TEMPO MAP CONVERT window.
3. Set to CONVERT TYPE to Tap → Tempo Map.
4. Set BEAT to the desired time signature.
5. Set TAP BEAT to the number of markers in each measure.
6. Press ENTER/YES to convert the markers into a tempo map, or EXIT/NO to cancel.
Converting a Sync Track to a Tempo Map
When you’ve recorded a detailed sync track—one that contains tempo changes and
uses a single time signature—from an external device, you can convert it into a project
tempo map.
1. Hold down SHIFT and press TAP—the TEMPO MAP screen appears.
2. Press F1 (TM Cnv) to display the TEMPO MAP CONVERT window.
3. Set to CONVERT TYPE to Sync Trk → Tempo Map.
4. Set SYNC TRACK BEAT to the project’s time signature.
5. Press ENTER/YES to convert the sync track into a tempo map, or EXIT/NO to
cancel the operation.
Syncing an External Device to the VS-2400CD
The VS-2400CD can generate MTC or MIDI clocks that allow you to synchronize
another device to the VS-2400CD, with the VS-2400CD as master and the external
device as slave.
MIDI clocks are carried to an external device through a MIDI cable. MTC, on the other
hand, can be carried through a MIDI cable to a MIDI device, or through an
R-BUS cable to a connected R-BUS device (Page 50). To learn how to set up R-BUS
communication with the VS-2400CD, see “R-BUS Remote Control” on Page 443.
Hold down SHIFT as you turn the Time/Value dial to move through BPM values in
whole-BPM-number steps.
A project’s audio rarely starts at Time 00h00m00s00f00, and when the tempo map starts,
so will a sequencer slaved to the VS-2400CD. You can use the SYNC OFFSET TIME
parameter on the SYNC PARAMETER screen (Page 296) to delay the start of the tempo
map. Move the now line to the beginning of the project’s audio, note the now line’s
time code location in the current time location display, and copy the time into the
SYNC OFFSET TIME parameter’s box.
The following describes synchronizing a single device to the VS-2400CD. If you have a
way of distributing VS-2400CD-generated sync—a MIDI patchbay can do this—you can
slave multiple devices to the VS-2400CD as long as they’re all capable of responding to
the selected form of synchronization.
