Roland VS-2400CD User Manual

23—MIDI and Synchronization
Roland VS-2400CD Owner’s Manual www.RolandUS.com 301
Setting Up the VS-2400CD as the Sync Master
1. Navigate to the MIDI PARAMETER screen (Page 285).
2. If the VS-2400CD is connected to the slave device with a MIDI cable, set MIDI
OUT/THRU to Out. If you’re using an R-BUS connection, skip this step.
3. If the device you’re syncing to the VS-2400CD supports MMC (Page 295), turn on
the SysEx. Tx Sw parameter and set MMC MODE to MASTER.
4. Hold down SHIFT and press EXT SYNC to jump to the SYNC PARAMETER screen.
5. Set SYNC MODE to INT, for “Internal” so that the VS-2400CD uses its own timing.
6. If you’ll be using MTC, select a FRAME RATE value—see Page 294 for guidance.
7. If you’ll be using MTC, and the material in the slave device doesn’t begin at
00h00m00s00f00, enter its start time as the Sync OFFSET TIME parameter’s value—
when the VS-2400CD’s project plays from the top, the slave plays from this location.
8. Select the type of sync you want the VS-2400CD to generate. If you’re syncing to:
• a MIDI device that recognizes MTC —set MIDI OUT SYNC Gen. to MTC.
• a MIDI device that recognizes MIDI clocks —set MIDI OUT SYNC Gen. to
MIDIClk (“MIDI Clock”) if you want to synchronize the external device to a
project tempo map. To synchronize the device to a sync track, select SyncTr.
• an R-BUS device connected to the R-BUS jack —set R-BUS Sync Gen. to MTC.
9. Complete the setup by configuring the slave device so that it’s set to:
• use an external timing source.
• receive the type of sync you’re sending it from the VS-2400CD.
• receive MMC if the device recognizes MMC.
• receive SysEx data if the device recognizes MMC.
Starting Synchronized Playback with the VS-2400CD as Master
1. Set the slave device—as detailed in its documentation—so that it’s awaiting sync.
2. Press the VS-2400CD’s PLAY button.
3. To halt synchronized playback, press STOP on the VS-2400CD.
Syncing the VS-2400CD to an External Device
The VS-2400CD can be synced to a master device that generates MTC. The VS-2400CD
can receive MTC through its MIDI IN jack or through an R-BUS connection (Page 50).
Setting Up the VS-2400CD as a Sync Slave
1. Navigate to the MIDI PARAMETER screen (Page 285).
2. If the master device transmits MMC (Page 295), turn on the VS-2400CD’s SysEx. Rx
Sw parameter, and set the MMC MODE parameter to SLAVE.
3. Set the MMC SOURCE parameter to:
• MIDI —if the VS-2400CD is connected to the master device via MIDI.
• R-BUS —if the master device is connected to the VS-2400CD’s R-BUS jack.
4. Press F6 (EXIT) and then F6 (SYNC) to display the SYNC PARAMETER screen.
Consult the slave device’s documentation for synchronization setup details.
For details on setting up successful R-BUS communication with the VS-2400CD, see
“R-BUS Remote Control” on Page 443.
