10.4.5 Using MIDI Time Code (MTC)
The DA-98 can output MIDI Time Code in almost
exactly the same way as it outputs audio timecode,
with the following exceptions.
exactly the same way as it outputs audio timecode,
with the following exceptions.
MIDI Time Code can be output either when the
DA-98 is playing, or in fast forward or rewind, or
when stopped. You can turn off the output during
the “fast” modes and while stopped, to avoid over-
loading a MIDI data stream.

10.5 Recording timecode
10.5.1 Selecting the timecode source
The DA-98 allows you to select one of three
sources for recording timecode: the DA-98’s inter-
nal generator, an external source or timecode
based on tape.

nal generator, an external source or timecode

To select the source for recording timecode:
1) Go to menu group 8, move the cursor to
TcRec Src
(source for timecode recording),
and press
ENTER
:
2) Use the
UP
and

keys to select a source
for the timecode recording from the following
options:

timecode selection menu (see 10.2, “Tape time-
code mode”).

If you are recording timecode only, we suggest
that you do not use external sources for recording
timecode.

above, and use

tape timecode sources. This will ensure an accu-
rate relationship between the timecode and the
ABS timing reference (the fact that the generator
must be started manually means that there will not
be a tight relation between timecode and the ABS
timing).

This will also allow you to synchronize multiple
DTRS units accurately to external timecode, even
though the slave units are not timecode-based.

10.5.2 Recording timecode using the
generator
1) Insert a formatted tape into the DA-98.
It is possible to format and stripe a new tape simul-
taneously, by setting up the formatting procedure
as described in 6.1, “Formatting a tape” and then
following the instructions below.

NOTE
Generally speaking, timecode should be recorded from
an external source only when audio tracks and timecode
must be transferred together from external units. In all
other cases, we suggest that you use the internal genera-
tor or the tape as sources for recording timecode.
