MT8XII—Owner’s Manual
SMPTE/MIDI System
In this system, a SMPTE/MIDI converter is used to generate the SMPTE timecode that is
recorded onto Track 8 of the MT8XII. It has a MIDI merge function that merges the MIDI Clock
information derived from the SMPTE timecode with the MIDI performance data from the syn-
thesizer. Some MIDI interfaces have two MIDI In jacks. In this case, the merge function is per-
formed by the MIDI interface or MIDI sequencer. The MIDI sequencer is shown with two MIDI
OUT jacks. So if you have only one MIDI OUT jack, connect it to the SMPTE/MIDI converter
when striping the tape, then to the synthesizer for subsequent operations.
