Synchronization 25
MT50 User’s Guide
Synchronization
By recording a timecode onto Track 4, you can synchronize the MT50 with
a MIDI sequencer or drum machine.
(FSK stands for Frequency Shift Keying, in case you were wondering. It is a type of MIDI
performance tempo data. The track that contains the FSK signal is a little like the conductor
of an orchestra who controls the tempo for your sequencers or drum machines.).
If this applies to your sequencer or drum machine, purchase Yamaha YMC
10 MIDI FSK converter and connect it between your MIDI sequencer or
drum machine and the MT50.
1. Connect the Tape Sync Out from YMC 10 to the MIC/LINE input
of Module 4.
2. Set the sync clock on your MIDI device to Internal.
3. Set the input fader of Module 4 to about 8
4. Set the dbx switch to the SYNC or OFF position.
When the dbx switch is set to SYNC, Tracks 1, 2, and 3 are set to dbx
ON. Track 4 is set to OFF.
5. Set the REC SEL switch for Modules 1, 2, and 3 to OFF. Set the
REC SEL switch for Module 4 to 4.
The REC indicator for Module 4 is flashing.
6. Press the REC button.
The REC indicator lights up.
7. Play your sequencer or drum machine and record FSK signal for
the duration of your song.
8. When nished, remove the cable from Module 4.
9. Rewind the tape.
10. Connect the MT50s Sync Out jack to the YMC10 Tape Sync In
jack.
11. Set up your MIDI sequencer or drum machine for sync playback.
(Set the sync clock on MIDI device to “MIDI”). See the manual that
came with the sequencer or drum machine for more information.
12. Press the PLAY button on the MT50.
Your MIDI sequencer or drum machine will be triggered by the sync
signal output from the MT50.
13. Play along with the MIDI parts using your guitar, voice, piano, etc.,
and record them using the basic techniques discussed earlier.
! To make sure a sync recording is
done correctly:
Note the following items to make
sure sync recording is done cor-
rectly.
Set the FSK signal recording
level of track 4 between 0 and
+3dB.
When the dbx switch is set to
"SYNC", do not record any musi-
cal on track 4.
Try not to record music on an
adjacent track (track 3) during
sync recording (when playing
back the FSK signal on track 4).
! You can take the sound output
from the MIDI instrument and
record it on any open track, syncing
the MIDI performance with your
own!
