Master and Slave... Posted by Steve...R (from: 194.117.133.196) on September 29, 2001 at 07:02:35: In Reply to: MTC remote control problem posted by Phil Dean on September 28, 2001 at 16:53:55: Cubase isn't &$^£ if you think Fruityloops is good... It's the other way around if anything... Cubase comes in cheaper versions than $800 so look harder. There have been some Logic audio Fun giveaways which will work fine as MTC slaves or masters... There are more options than you are claiming basically.. less than £100 gets me a 16 track audio (plus endless midi track) sequencer. If Fruitloops can't play slave then make it the master and then the yamaha the slave.. Even if you don't continue to use the system in this way, at least you can learn how to set it up... There are a couple of general things to consider with MTC... 1. Which device is master or slave.. 2. The frame rate that the two devices are working at. Some default to 25fps while others to 30 (or 29.9). It is important to set the slave to the FPS of the master. 3. The MTC master should be sending out MTC information on the same midi port as the slaves midi input. The slave should be 'Primed' to start playing or recording whenever it receives a go command from the MTC master... Some of these things aren't easy to setup at first but you'll have to realise that you are working in a professional environment, despite the availability to the general public. MTC is a simple procedure that takes time and experience to setup. It demands manual reading for the various devices and patience. Nothing is that easy in the music world of computers and technology. If you blame yamaha dealers for not helping you set up an MTC environment then you are off course. They make the kit, you learn how to use it...
