6.
Click OK.
7.
From the Options menu, choose MIDI In/Out, and choose Trigger from MIDI Timecode from the submenu. A check mark appears
adjacent to the command to indicate that synchronization to MTC is ready.
Configuring the sequencer
1.
Set the sequencer’s MIDI output port to correspond with the Sound Forge MIDI input port.
2.
Turn on the sequencer’s MTC output. If the sequencer supports generating MTC, it is now ready to sync.
3.
Press the sequencer’s Play button. The Sound Forge MIDI In status box displays the same SMPTE time as the sequencer’s SMPTE
time. At the specified SMPTE time, playback of the region is started without interrupting the sequencer’s output to other devices.
Playing regions using MTC from an external device
When using a hardware device that generates MTC, the configuration procedure is basically the same as outlined above. Simply specify
the device’s MTC output driver as the Sound Forge MIDI input port in the Preferences dialog’s MIDI/Sync tab.
Using Sound Forge software to generate MTC for a MIDI sequencer
You can generate MTC for other devices to follow. However, it is important to understand that the software only generates MTC while
playing a file or from a playlist. Generating MTC involves two procedures:
• Configuring the Sound Forge software.
• Configuring the sequencer.
Configuring Sound Forge software
1.
Open an audio file.
2.
From the Options menu, choose Preferences. The Preferences dialog is displayed.
3.
Click the MIDI/Sync tab.
4.
Specify the Sound Forge MIDI output that corresponds to the input port of the sequencer and click OK.
5.
From the Options menu, choose MIDI Triggers. The MIDI Triggers dialog is displayed.
6.
From the Preset drop-down list, choose Reset all triggers to (none). This prevents other MIDI commands from creating additional
triggers.
7.
Click OK.
8.
From the Options menu, choose MIDI In/Out, and choose Generate MIDI Timecode from the submenu. A check mark appears
adjacent to the command, indicating that the software is ready to generate MTC.
