MIDI sync • This selects whether the QY700 will use its own internal clock or whether it will use MIDI Clock or MTC messages received from the MIDI IN connector. • You will need to make these settings when synchronizing the QY700 with external MIDI devices. • With a setting of Internal, the QY700 will use its own internal clock. Select this setting if you are using the QY700 by itself or as the master device in a system that is synchronized by MIDI Clock messages. • With a setting of MIDI-A or MIDI-B, the QY700 will be controlled by MIDI Clock messages received from MIDI IN-A or MIDI IN-B. Select this setting if you are using the QY700 as a slave device for synchronized play. This is the setting to use when synchronizing the QY700 to an external MIDI device. • With a setting of MTC:MIDI-A or MTC:MIDI-B, the QY700 will synchronize to MTC messages received from MIDI IN-A or MIDI IN-B, and will transmit MMC messages from the corresponding MIDI OUT connector (MIDI OUT-A for MTC:MIDI-A, or MIDI OUT-B for MTC:MIDIB). • MTC is an acronym for MIDI Time Code, and is a type of timecode that can be exchanged between MIDI device via a MIDI cable. MTC consists of "hour:minute:second:frame" units. The QY700 does not output MTC. If you wish to synchronize using MTC, you will need a device that is able to output MTC such as the Yamaha MD4. 6 • MMC is an acronym for MIDI Machine Control, and is a specification for controlling devices such as multi-track recorders from MIDI sequencers etc. When operations such as start/stop or rewind/fast-forward are performed on the sequencer, the corresponding operation will automatically be performed on the MMC-compatible multi-track recorder, so that playback on the recorder will always occur from the same location of the song as on the sequencer. • Select this setting if you are using the QY700 as a slave device for MTC synchronization, or if you are using the QY700 together with an external device such as an MMCcompatible multi-track recorder. 0101 1101 Internal, MIDI-A, MIDI-B, MTC:MIDI-A, MTC:MIDI-B Chapter 6.
