CONNECTION EXAMPLES n BASIC MT2X SYSTEM WITH EFFECTS This basic recording system puts the MT2X's six input channels to good use. A microphone for vocals and an electric guitar are plugged into channels 1 and 2, taking advantage of the low-level input and level-matching capability provided by these channels. Channels 3 and 4 receive the stereo outputs from a Yamaha DX100 Digital Programmable Algorithm Synthesizer, and the stereo outputs from a Yamaha RX17 Digital Rhythm Programmer are plugged into channels 5 and 6. With a setup like this, you're ready to record any source on virtually any track with no need for repatching. For top-quality reverb, delay and other effects a Yamaha SPX90 Multieffect Processor is connected into the MT2X's AUX SEND/RETURN loop. A simple but highly effective monitor system is provided by a pair of Yamaha KS10 powered speakers. AMP MT2X + SPX90 + monitor system + mic + guitar + DX100 + RX17 I I RX17 DX21 n MIDI TAPE SYNC SYSTEM MT2X + YMC2 + QX21 + DX27 + RX17 + monitor system In this system the YMC2 MIDI Converter converts the MIDI timing signals from the QX21 Digital Sequence Recorder into analog signals which are recorded on track 4 of the tape. On playback, the analog tape signals are converted back into MIDI form by the YMC2 and used to control START and STOP of the QX21. Thus, playback of the QX21 sequencer, which controls the DX27 Digital Programmable Algorithm Synthesizer and RX17 Digital Rhythm Programmer, is perfectly synchronized to playback of the MT2X tape. Other material can now be recorded on tracks 1 through 3 of the MT2X - vocals, acoustic instruments, etc. - in perfect synchronization with the MIDI sequence. The benefit is that we effectively have more than four playback tracks, and that the synchronired MIDI instruments can be modified as desired: i.e., voices can be changed on the synthesizer or the QX21 sequence edited without affecting any other tracks.
