Setting MTC OFFSET

1. Set the time offset from the ABS time (less than six hours) in

the “Setting an MTC offset value” menu in SETUP mode.

• See page 88 for more information.

Setting a frame rate

1.Select the same MTC frame rate as that for the sequence

software in the “Setting an MTC frame rate” in SETUP mode.

• See page 87 for more information.

Setting the device ID number

1.Set the same device ID number as the MMC device number

for the sequence software and the FEX device number in

the “Setting the device ID number” menu in SETUP mode.

You do not set a number if the sequence software

transmits [7Fh], which means [ALL DEVICE].

• See page 93 for more information.

Checking synchronization and Machine Control

1.Operate the FD-4 in play mode, and check to see if the

sequence software synchronizes to the MTC output from

the FD-4.

Check to see if the FD-4 plays, stops, and locates points

correctly when it is controlled from the computer.

Overdubbing

1.Overdub on tracks 1 – 4 as explained in “Overdubbing” of

the “MIDI clock sync system” section.

Mixing down while syncing the MIDI sound sources

1.Synchronize the output from tracks 1–4 with four MIDI sound

sources, and mix down while applying the effects, as

explained in “Mixing down while syncing MIDI sound

sources” in the “MIDI clock sync system” section.

About MMC REC Out function

If you use the MMC REC Out function, operating the FD-4 will cause the

MIDI OUT connector to output the MMC command that corresponds to

the operation.

For example, pressing the PLAY button while pressing the RECORD

button will output the MMC REC command from the MIDI OUT connec-

tor. The following commands are output:

These MMC commands are output only when you operate the buttons

on the FD-4. They are not output when the FD-4 receives external MMC

commands.

You cannot turn off the MMC REC Out function. Whenever you perform

any of the operations described above, the corresponding command is

output. This is something you should note. If the sequencer connected

to the FD-4’s MIDI OUT is in record mode and you operate the FD-4,

the corresponding MMC command will be recorded in a track on the

sequencer. Then, if MIDI data is sent from the sequencer to the FD-4,

the MMC command recorded in the sequence data will cause the FD-4

to enter record mode.
