WORKING WITH MIDI/SMPTE CHP. 13
Configuring the sequencer
1.
Specify the sequencer’s MIDI input port that corresponds to Sound Forge’s MIDI output port.
2.
Set the sequencer’s SMPTE offset time value as needed.
Note:
Sound Forge 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 Sound Forge. When the SMPTE offset time is satisfied, the sequencer locks to
and follows the MTC generated by Sound Forge.
Using Sound Forge to generate MTC for an external device
To use Sound Forge to send MTC to an external device, follow the previous instructions, but configure
Sound Forge’s MIDI output port to send directly to the device’s MIDI driver.
