DIGITAL TIMEPIECE & PERFORMER
69
Figure 9-3: When the Digital Timepiece is the time code address
master (i.e. it is in one of its Internal time base modes), you can
control it (and everything connected to it) directly from Performer’s
transport controls. Performer sends MMC commands to the Digital
Timepiece, which sends time code back to Performer.
Setting up MMC control in Performer
To set up MMC control in Performer:
1 Be sure the Digital Timepiece shows up in
Performer’s MIDI Machine window, as shown in
Figure 9-1 on page 67.
2 Make sure the Digital Timepiece is On-line by
clicking the on-line/off-line button for the Digital
Timepiece in the MIDI Machine window.
3 Turn on MMC by clicking the arrow button in
the MIDI Machine window between the computer
icon and tape recorder icon as shown in Figure 9-1
on page 67.
Performer will now send play, stop, and locate
commands to the Digital Timepiece when you click
the buttons in Performer’s main transport controls.
MMC RECORD COMMANDS
Performer has the ability to send MMC record
commands to MMC devices. For example, you can
record-enable a track on the MMC device by
clicking a button in Performer. You can also do
more elaborate record functions, such as set
automatic punch-in and punch-out points using
Performer’s Auto Punch features.
While the Digital Timepiece itself is not a recording
device, you can do all of these things with MMC
devices that are connected to the Digital
Timepiece, such as ADATs, DA-88s or SONY 9-pin
video decks.
Record-related MMC commands supported by the
Digital Timepiece and Performer fall into two
categories: global and device -specific. (For a
summary, see “MMC control of record functions”
on page 64.)
Global record functions
Global record commands, such as punching in and
out with Performer’s Auto-Record features, require
the same preparation as described in the previous
section, “Setting up MMC control in Performer”.
As long as you’ve made these preparations,
Performer’s global record functions will work fine.
Device specific record functions
As a Performer 5.5 or Digital Performer 2.0 user,
you will probably find ClockWorks to be the most
convenient way to control device-specific record
functions. Just use the buttons in the device’s
information panel in ClockWorks’ Sync/MMC
window. You can easily record-enable tracks with
the row(s) of record buttons provided, set track
offsets, set the monitor mode, etc.
Future updates of Performer and Digital Performer
may incorporate some of ClockWorks’ device
specific features into Performer’s MIDI Machine
window. Until then, you can set up Performer to
Performer or Digital Performer
