Configuring the sequencer
1.
Specify the sequencer’s MIDI input port that corresponds to the Sound Forge MIDI output port.
2.
Set the sequencer’s SMPTE offset time value as needed.
Note:
Sound Forge software uses 00:00:00:00 as its output start point, but certain sequencers recommend a SMPTE offset time of at
least four seconds to ensure synchronization.
3.
Turn on the sequencer’s MTC input.
4.
If required by the sequencer, press the Play button. The sequencer does not begin playback, but switches to “Waiting for MTC”
mode.
5.
Start playback of the file in the software. When the SMPTE offset time is satisfied, the sequencer locks to and follows the MTC
generated by the Sound Forge application.
Using Sound Forge software to generate MTC for an external device
To use the software to send MTC to an external device, follow the previous instructions, but configure the Sound Forge MIDI output port
to send directly to the device’s MIDI driver.
