MIDI functions 97 Synchronizing to MTC with a specified offset (time difference) When using the MD4S as an MTC slave, you can assign an offset (time difference) that will be applied to the MTC time data received from the external device. Note: The offset setting affects only the MTC slave MD4S. Even if you specify an offset for the MTC master MD4S, it will not affect the MTC that is transmitted from the MTC master. 1. If the MTC slave MD4S is in record/playback/rehearsal-pause mode, press the STOP button to defeat pause mode. 2. On the slave unit, press the UTILITY button, rotate the DATA dial to make the display read "MTC Offset," and press the ENTER button. The display will indicate the current offset value as hours/minutes/seconds/frames. With the factory settings, this will read "00:00:00.00." Hours Minutes Seconds Frames 3. Use the CURSOR shuttle to select the hours/minutes/seconds/frames parameters, and rotate the DATA dial to specify the value. You can specify an offset in the range of "00:00:00.00" to "23:59:59.29." For example if you specify an offset value of "00:01:00.00," an MTC master location of "00:01:00.00" will be considered by the MTC slave MD4S as a location of "00:00:00.00" (the display will indicate "000:00.00") for synchronization purposes. If you specify an offset value of "23:59:00.00," an MTC master location of "23:59:00.00" will be considered by the MTC slave MD4S as a location of "00:00:00.00" (the display will indicate "000:00.00"), and an MTC master location of "00:00:00.00" will be considered by the slave as "00:01:00.00" (the display will indicate "001:00.00").

Synchronizing to MTC with a speci
fi
ed offset (time difference)
When using the MD4S as an MTC slave, you can assign an offset (time difference) that will be
applied to the MTC time data received from the external device.
1.
If the MTC slave MD4S is in record/playback/rehearsal-pause mode, press the
STOP button to defeat pause mode.
2.
On the slave unit, press the UTILITY button, rotate the DATA dial to make the
display read
“
MTC Offset,
”
and press the ENTER button.
The display will indicate the current offset value as hours/minutes/seconds/frames. With the
factory settings, this will read “00:00:00.00.”
3.
Use the CURSOR shuttle to select the hours/minutes/seconds/frames parame-
ters, and rotate the DATA dial to specify the value.
You can specify an offset in the range of “00:00:00.00” to “23:59:59.29.”
For example if you specify an offset value of “00:01:00.00,” an MTC master location of
“00:01:00.00” will be considered by the MTC slave MD4S as a location of “00:00:00.00” (the
display will indicate “000:00.00”) for synchronization purposes.
If you specify an offset value of “23:59:00.00,” an MTC master location of “23:59:00.00” will be
considered by the MTC slave MD4S as a location of “00:00:00.00” (the display will indicate
“000:00.00”), and an MTC master location of “00:00:00.00” will be considered by the slave as
“00:01:00.00” (the display will indicate “001:00.00”).
4.
Press the UTILITY button to return to normal operation.
Note:
The offset setting affects only the MTC slave MD4S. Even if you specify an offset for
the MTC master MD4S, it will not affect the MTC that is transmitted from the MTC master.
