DIGITAL TIMEPIECE & PRO TOOLS

If you intend to play MIDI sequences from within

Pro Tools or an OMS-dependent sequencer, set up

OMS and FreeMIDI as described in chapter 11,

“Digital Timepiece & OMS” (page 79).

Pro Tools software settings

1 Open Pro Tools (4.0 or higher) and make sure

that it is off line (not slaved to external time code).

Figure 12-3: Put Pro Tools under internal control by taking it off line.

2 Choose Show Session Setup from the Display

menu.

3 Set the Pro Tools hardware Sync Mode to

Internal.

4 Make the Sample Rate, Frame Rate and Session

Start settings as desired.

5 Expand the window so the Output Timecode

settings at the bottom are visible.

Figure 12-4: Make Pro Tools transmit MIDI Time Code (MTC) as shown

above when you want Pro Tools to be the master.

6 Enable MTC to Port, and route MTC to the

Digital Timepiece device you have conﬁgured in

OMS (or in FreeMIDI via OMS emulation).

If you now press play in Pro Tools, the Digital

Timepiece will follow MTC from Pro Tools.

Using ClockWorks

Since Pro Tools is the transport master in this

scenario, the only time you’ll need to use

ClockWorks is when you are tweaking the settings

in the Digital Timepiece. But you won’t be using the

transport controls in ClockWorks.

Syncing Performer or Digital Performer with

Pro Tools

If you want to run Performer or Digital Performer

(in MIDI Only mode) simultaneously with Pro

Tools in this scenario, you need to use FreeMIDI’s

OMS emulation as described in “Enabling OMS

emulation in FreeMIDI” on page 85.

With Pro Tools serving as master, you control

everything from the transport controls in Pro

Tools. Slave Performer to external time code in the

usual fashion, and it will slave to MIDI Time Code

being sent back to the Mac from the Digital

Timepiece as shown in Figure 12-2 on page 86.

If you want to use the transport controls in

Performer, you have to slave Pro Tools to the

Digital Timepiece as described later in this chapter.

As of version 4.01 of Pro Tools, there is no way to

set things up so that you can freely use the

transport controls in both programs. Future

versions of Pro Tools and Performer may support

this. For now, you have to choose one or the other

and set things up accordingly.

Syncing an OMS sequencer with Pro Tools

If you want to run an OMS-dependent sequencer

simultaneously with Pro Tools in this scenario, set

up OMS as described in chapter 11, “Digital

Timepiece & OMS” (page 79). Set up Pro Tools to

be the transport master as shown in Figure 12-3

and make it transmit MTC as shown in

Figure 12-4. Then set up your OMS sequencer to

slave to MTC as usual from the Digital Timepiece.

Note that in this scenario, the sequencer is slaving

to MTC from the Digital timepiece, not Pro Tools,

which is sending MTC to the Digital Timepiece.

Take Pro Tools off-line

Set the Pro Tools hardware

sync mode to Internal.
