MD8—Owner’s Manual

Do I have to sacriﬁce one track to record timecode?

No. The MD8 generates MTC (MIDI Timecode) or MIDI Clock from the disc’s internal sync

signals. So even in a synchronized MIDI system, all eight tracks are available for sound

recording.

How many songs can I store on an MD DATA disc?

Up to 254.

Is MD8 sensitive to knocks and vibration?

Within reason, no. The MD8 features a three-second sound buffer for uninterrupted oper-

ation.

Do I have to clean the MD8 heads?

No.
