Synchronizing with MIDI devices
Advanced Use
Synchronizing playback with a MIDI sequencer
The BR-532 can operate in synchronization with a MIDI
sequencer.
* When synchronizing with a MIDI sequencer, it is possible to
synchronize the MIDI sequencer using the BR-532 (i.e., with
the BR-532 as the master), but it is not possible to synchronize
the BR-532 with the MIDI sequencer (i.e., with the BR-532 as
the slave).
For details on operation of your MIDI sequencer, refer to
the operating manual for your device.
For information regarding MMC, see p. 70.
Synchronized playback with the
BR-532 as the master
Follow the procedure given below to synchronize the MIDI
sequencer using the BR-532.
1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the BR-532 and your MIDI
sequencer as shown in the diagram.

2. Press [UTILITY].
3. Press PARAMETER [ ] [ ] to move the cursor to
“SYS,” and press [ENTER].
4. Press PARAMETER [ ] [ ] to select “Sync
Generator,” and turn the TIME/VALUE dial to set the
sync generator.
fig.R13-05b
OFF: Synchronization signals will not be output.
MTC: MIDI Time Code will be transmitted.
MCK: Sends the MIDI clock based on the tempo set
with the pattern function (p. 62).
* If “OFF” or “MCK” is selected, proceed to step 6.
5. Press PARAMETER [ ] [ ] to select “MTC type,”
and turn the TIME/VALUE dial to set the MTC type.
fig.R13-05b
Verify the specifications of your MIDI sequencer and set
the MTC type on the BR-532.
30: 30 frames per second non-drop format. This is
used by audio devices such as analog tape
recorders, and for NTSC format black and white
video (used in Japan and the U.S.).
29N: 29.97 frames per second non-drop format. This is
used for NTSC format color video (used in Japan
and the U.S.).
29D: 29.97 frames per second drop format. This is used
for NTSC format broadcast color video (used in
Japan and the U.S.).
25: 25 frame per second frame rate. This is used for
SECAM or PAL format video, audio equipment,
and film (used in Europe and elsewhere).
24: 24 frame per second frame rate. This is used for
video, audio devices, and film in the US.
6. After you finish setting the synchronization settings at
the BR-532, press [EXIT] (or [UTILITY]) repeatedly to
return to the Play screen.
* During automatic updating, “Keep Power On!” appears in the
upper line of the display, while the lower line shows what is
being processed.
7. Just as when you synchronize a MIDI sequencer using
external MTC, when you use the tempo map, you can
synchronize the MIDI sequencer using the external
MIDI clock.
8. Get the MIDI song data ready for playback.
When the BR-532 begins playing, the MIDI sequencer
will also begin playing in sync with it.
