39 Synchronization Synchronized mixdown You can use the FSK signal to synchronize MIDI instruments to the previously recorded tracks on the MT4X while you are creating a mixdown recording (see "Mixdown" on page 32). One of the advantages of this technique is that you can add multiple instruments to your mix without having to bounce-down tracks. To take full advantage of this technique, you may have to use an external mixer.

These allow you to send the track signals directly from the recorder to your external mixer. Connections and setup 1) Plug a compatible cable from the TAPE OUT - SYNC/4 (k) connector into the MIDI/FSK input on your sequencer, rhythm machine, or converter. Set the connected MIDI instrument to receive the FSK signals from the MT4X. 2) Set any other connected MIDI instruments to MIDI clock mode to slave to the MIDI device receiving the FSK signals. Perform any other required setup on your MIDI instruments to ensure they perform correctly once the MT4X starts playing the FSK timecode. Please refer to the instruction manual supplied with your MIDI instrument for further setup details. User's Guide
