Chapter 7 Environment Configuration and

Synchronization with an External

MIDI Device

Timing of the MC-307’s sequencer can be synchronized with

that of another sequencer for playback. This feature enables

large-scale performance playing back a number of parts at

the same time.

Making an external MIDI sequencer

synchronized with playback on the

MC-307

Now, let’s make MC-307’s patterns synchronized with an

external MIDI sequencer. (In this example, the external MIDI

sound generator is played back using the MIDI data from the

external MIDI sequencer.)

Set up the MC-307

1. Set SYNC OUT to “ON” (P. 120).

This setting enables synchronizing signals to be

transmitted from the MC-307’s MIDI OUT.

2. Set the sequence output assignment for all parts

(including MUTE CTRL) of the pattern to be used to

“INT” (P. 23). This setting enables the MC-307 to output

only MIDI clocks and start/stop information from the

MIDI OUT connector.

Set up the external sequencer

3. Set the external MIDI sequencer so it will synchronize to

the MIDI Clock messages that it receives. For details on

the setting, refer to the owner’s manual for your MIDI

sequencer.

Start synchronized playback.

4. Press the [PLAY] button of the MC-307, and

synchronized playback will begin.

5. To stop synchronized playback, press [STOP] button on

the MC-307.

Making the MC-307 synchronized with

performance on an external

sequencer.

The playback of the MC-307’s sequencer can be synchronized

to the MIDI Clock messages transmitted from an external

MIDI sequencer or from a hard disk recorder (optional). In

the following example, we will synchronize the MC-307

pattern playback to an external source of timing.

Set up the MC-307.

1. Set SYNC MODE to “SLAVE” (P. 119).

2. Press the [ ] button on the MC-307.

Returns to the beginning of pattern.
