opcode studio 4 Manual Do Utilizador

There are two timecode columns:

•

The column on the left always repre-
sents the Studio 4 assigned to MIDI 
ports 1-8. 

•

The column on the right always rep-
resents the Studio 4 assigned to MIDI 
ports 9-16.

If your network contains only one 
Studio 4, then the RCM window will look 
like Figure 7.21. Use the left column 
(labeled “Timecode”) to route timecode 
from the Studio 4 to any MIDI device(s). 
The right column is not used and is unla-
beled since there is only one Studio 4.

If your network contains two Studio 4’s, 
then the RCM window will look like 
Figure 7.22. Use the left column (labeled 
“Timecode 1-8”) to route timecode from 
the Studio 4 assigned to MIDI ports 1-8. 
Use the right column (labeled 
“Timecode 9-16”) to route timecode from 
the Studio 4 assigned to MIDI ports 9-16.

Routing MIDI Beat Clock with the 
Studio 4 requires special consideration 
since the Studio 4 can route only one 
source of MIDI beat clock at a time. If you 
try routing two or more separate beat 
clock sources into the Studio 4, they will 
merge together making synchronization 
impossible.

IMPORTANT: Never route more than one 
source of MIDI Beat Clock to the Studio 4 
at any time. Always use the RCM window 
to mute any unnecessary beat clock inputs 
and outputs.

The most common use of MIDI beat clock 
is to synchronize drum machines and 
hardware sequencers to each other or to a 
Macintosh MIDI sequencer. The follow-
ing sections discuss some common beat 
clock routing problems and their 
solutions.
