Overdubbing with a synchronized performance
If your MIDI sequencer or rhythm machine cannot accept FSK signals, you may need a MIDI/FSK
converter such as the Yamaha YMC10. You need to plug the MIDI/FSK converter in between the MT4X
and your MIDI instrument.
Some MIDI sequencers and rhythm machines can read FSK signals. You can plug this type of machine
directly to the MT4X to synchronize to the recorded FSK signal.
