External MIDI equipment sync system by the slave mode

Up to this point, synchronization with external MIDI equipment has been explained with the VR800 as the master and
MIDI equipment as the slave but depending on the slave mode setting, the MIDI equipment can be set as the master and
VR800 as the slave.

<Note>

External MIDI equipment which can be used as the master is limited to those which can output MTC.

* Initialize VR800.

* Confirm the program and sampling frequency.

* In the following, the explanation will be on the assumption that a computer (with sequence software) is used.
