Chapter 8. System Settings and MIDI Applications
Synchronization with an External
MIDI Device
Timing of the D2’s sequencer can be synchronized with that
of another sequencer for playback. This feature enables large-
scale performance playing back a number of parts at the
same time.
Making an external MIDI sequencer
synchronized with playback on the D2
Now, let’s make D2’s patterns synchronized with an external
MIDI sequencer. (In this example, the external MIDI sound
generator is played back using the MIDI data from the
external MIDI sequencer.)
Set up the D2
1. Set SYNC OUT to “ON” (p. 74).
This setting enables synchronizing signals to be
transmitted from the D2’s MIDI OUT.
2. Set the sequence output assignment for all parts of
the pattern to be used to “INT” (p. 19).
This setting enables the D2 to output only MIDI clocks
and start/stop information from the MIDI OUT
connector.
Set up the external sequencer
3. Set the external MIDI sequencer so it will
synchronize to the MIDI Clock messages that it
receives.
For details on the setting, refer to the owner’s manual for
your MIDI sequencer.
Start synchronized playback.
4. Press the [ ] button of the D2, and synchronized
playback will begin.
5. To stop synchronized playback, press [ ] button
on the D2.
The external MIDI sequencer will also stop.
Making the D2 synchronized with
performance on an external
sequencer.
The playback of the D2’s sequencer can be synchronized to
the MIDI Clock messages transmitted from an external MIDI
sequencer or from a hard disk recorder (optional). In the
following example, we will synchronize the D2 pattern
playback to an external source of timing.
Set up the D2.
1. Set SYNC MODE to “SLAVE” (p. 74).
2. Press the [ ] button on the D2.
Returns to the beginning of pattern.
Set up the external sequencer.
3. Set up so that MIDI clocks are transmitted from the
external MIDI sequencer.
For details on the setting, refer to the owner’s manual for
your external MIDI sequencer.
Start synchronized playback.
4. Press the [PLAY] button of the external MIDI
sequencer, and synchronized playback will begin.
5. To stop synchronized playback, press [STOP] button
on the external sequencer.
* As required, set up to block transmission of playback
information from the external device to the D2. (Or, set MIDI
channels 1 to 7 and 10, corresponding to those used on the D2,
not to be used for data transmission.) Otherwise, the D2
performs playback with playback information from the external
device. For details, see the operation manual of the external
MIDI device.
* It is also possible to control playback/stop operations only
without synchronization with MIDI clocks transmitted from
the external MIDI sequencer. In this case, set Sync mode of the
D2 to “REMOTE.”
