Chapter 22 Specific Applications

Chapter 22

Settings for the Slave VS

1. Hold [SHIFT] and press [F5 (SYSTEM)]. The System

Menu appears in the display. If the System Menu does

not appear, press [F6 (EXIT)].

2. Press [F4 (MIDI)]. If “MIDI” does not appear above [F4],

press [PAGE] until “MIDI” appears, then press [F4

(MIDI)].

3. Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the

cursor and use the TIME/VALUE dial to make settings

for each parameter as described below.

Device ID

This should be set to “17.”

SysEx.Rx (System Exclusive Receive Switch)

For this application, set this to “On.”

MMC (Midi Machine Control Mode)

For this application, set this to “SLAVE.”

Control Type (Mixer Control Types)

For this application, leave this “Off.”

4. Hold [SHIFT] and press [EXT SYNC] button, located

above the TIME/VALUE dial.

5. Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the

cursor and use the TIME/VALUE dial to make the

settings as described below.

Sync Error Level

Normally, this is set to “5.”

Sync MTC Type (MTC Type)

For this application, set this to “30.”

6. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to the Playlist display.

7. Press [EXT SYNC]. The button indicator blinks,

indicating the VS is ready to receive MTC. In this state,

the slave VS operates in sync with the master VS. The

EXT SYNC indicator is lit when the slave VS is waiting

for MTC.

You can also use this method to transfer digital audio

between two VS recorders. Connect the DIGITAL OUT of the

master VS to the DIGITAL IN of the slave VS—since the

MTC generated by the master VS provides synchronization

to both VS recorders, its digital ouput must also supply

digital clock to the slave VS.

Syncing a VS-1680 and a

VS-880/880EX

This section explains how to synchronize a VS-1680 and a

VS-880/880EX. The VS-1680 functions as the MMC/MTC

master, and the VS-880/880EX functions as the MMC/MTC

slave. The example explains the procedure for synchronizing

a VS-1680 with a VS-880/880EX using MIDI Time Code.

Make connections as described below.

Syncing the VS-880 to the

VS-1680 Using MTC and MMC

Both the VS-1680 and the VS-880/880EX have the ability to

generate and slave to MIDI Time Code (MTC). They also

have the ability to varispeed their sample rate to account for

fluctuations in the source signal. This provides a sync that is

frame-accurate and allows you to do things such as lock to

video and locate on the fly. MMC allows you to control the

transport of the slave VS from the master. The following

example explains how to synchronize the VS-880/880EX as a

slave device to the VS-1680 using MTC and MMC.

Setup

The only items needed to synchronize the VS-1680 and VS-

880/880EX are a MIDI cable and a pair of audio cables. Use

the following procedure to setup a VS-1680 and

VS-880/880EX to operate in sync with the VS-1680 as the

master device:

1. Connect the MIDI OUT jack of the VS-1680 to the MIDI

IN jack of the VS-880/880EX.

2. Connect the left MASTER OUT jack of the VS-880/880EX

to INPUT 3 on the VS-1680.

3. Connect the right MASTER OUT jack of the VS-880/

880EX to INPUT 4 on the VS-1680.

VS-1680 Settings

1. Hold [SHIFT] and press [F5 (SYSTEM)]. The System

Menu appears in the display.

If the System Menu does not appear, press [F6 (EXIT)].

2. Press [F4 (MIDI)]. If “MIDI” does not appear above [F4],

press [PAGE] until “MIDI” appears, then press [F4

(MIDI)].

3. Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the

cursor and use the TIME/VALUE dial to make settings

for each parameter as described below.
