MIDI, SYNC & SMPTE

6E SMPTE SYNC (SYNC 3)

1. To select SMPTE sync, activate the SYNC module and key in 3. In this mode, the SP-

1200 can slave to SMPTE time code information coming in the SYNC/SMPTE IN

jack. Tempo is set by the SP-1200’s Tempo function (Sections 1O and 3H).

2. Selecting SMPTE automatically calls up the SMPTE frames per-second rate display.

Use the Left Arrow and Right Arrow buttons to choose the desired the SMPTE rate.

You have the following choices:

24 = The standard frame rate for film.

25 = The standard frame rate for European television and video.

30 = The standard frame rate for American television and video

(this is the default).

30df = The standard NTSC color videotape frame rate.

When the display shows the desired SMPTE frame rate, press ENTER.

3. Enter the SMPTE time code point where you want the segment or sequence to begin.

The SMPTE time code format is HH:MM:SS:FF, where H = hours, M = minutes, S =

seconds, and F = frames (one frame is equivalent to 1/30th of a second at the 30

frames-per-second rate). When the display shows the SMPTE start point, press

ENTER.

4. To sync to SMPTE, select the desired SP-1200 segment or song and press RUN/

STOP. The sync light will flash, indicating that the SP-1200 is awaiting SMPTE (the

display will confirm this). As soon as SMPTE time code enters the SP-1200 via the

SYNC/SMPTE IN jack, the display will show the current SMPTE time code reading.

If the SMPTE time code being read from tape is earlier than the SP-1200’s SMPTE start

point, the SYNC light will blink until the tape catches up. When the SMPTE time code

reading matches the start point, the SYNC light will go out and the segment or song will

begin playing.

If the SMPTE time code being read from tape is later than the SP-1200’s start point, the SP-

1200 will “fast-forward” through the song or segment to catch up with the tape. The point

at which playback begins depends on the start point and tempo. When the SP-1200 catches

up with the tape, it sends a MIDI Song Position Pointer and a Continue message from its

MIDI OUT and also begins sending MIDI clocks. This enables slave devices such as other

drum machines and sequencers to start in sync with the song.

If the SMPTE time code being read from tape is much later than the SP-1200’s start point,

the SP-1200 may need to “fast-forward” several times through the song or segment before it

catches up with the tape.

Note: SMPTE start points are stored along with the song information. Therefore, if there are

no songs recorded, you will not be able to enter a SMPTE start point. The advantage of this

system is that you can store a different SMPTE start point for each song!
