Working with a Sync Track
Recording a Sync Track from an External Device
1. Using a MIDI cable, connect the VS-2400CD’s MIDI IN jack to the MIDI OUT of the
device from which you want to transmit the MIDI clocks.
2. Navigate to the SYNC screen (Page 296).
3. Press F1 (STrRec) for “SyncTrack Record”—the VS-2400CD tells you it’s awaiting
data.
As the VS-2400CD receives the incoming sync track data, its display shows what’s
being captured.
If you want to interrupt and cancel the operation, press EXIT/NO. When the
incoming data’s been recorded, the VS-2400CD displays “Done!”
4. If you need to re-record the sync track, repeat Steps 1-3, and
when the VS-2400CD asks if you want to overwrite the
previously recorded sync track data, press ENTER/YES to
proceed or EXIT/NO to cancel.
Generating a Sync Track from Markers
When a project contains music and uses a single time signature, you can create a sync
track from markers placed on every beat in the project. To learn about placing markers,
see Page 182.
1. Hold down SHIFT and press TAP—the TEMPO MAP screen appears.
2. Press F1 (TM Cnv) to display the TEMPO MAP CONVERT window.
3. Set CONVERT TYPE to Tap → SyncTrk.
4. Set BEAT to the desired time signature.
5. Set TAP BEAT to the number of markers in each measure.
6. Press ENTER/YES to convert the markers into a sync track, or EXIT/NO to cancel
the operation.
Creating a Sync Track Automatically
When a project contains music and has a completely steady tempo and no time
signature or tempo changes, the VS-2400CD can create a sync track from the project’s
start and end times, its time signature and the number of measures it contains.
Prepare the external device that’s supplying the sync track data by setting it to transmit
MIDI clocks.
The VS-2400CD’s now line doesn’t move during sync track recording, nor do the project
tracks play.
You’ll need to note the following before proceeding: the precise start and end times of
the project’s audio, the number of measures in the project, and its time signature.
