SYNC MODE
Е
гаса
Sync mode settings determine how the RX8 will keep time when
playing a pattern or song. Normally the RX8 will use its own
clock (INTERNAL clock), but it can also be set to synchronize
with another rhythm programmer or sequencer (MIDI clock), or
to а FSK synchronization signal recorded on multitrack tape
(TAPE clock).
Pressing
SYNC/MIDI
will
alternately
enter
SYNC mode or MIDI mode.
Sync mode has no "jobs", just a single display where you select
Internal, MIDI or Tape sync. Press SYNC/MIDI
to obtain the
following display, and use +1/YES or - 1/МО to select the Sync
mode,

The RX8 will keep time with its own internal
clock, and will output a MIDI sync signal (F8h timing clock)
from MIDI OUT
and a FSK (Frequency
Shift Key) sync
signal from the Cassette OUT connection. If another rhythm
programmer or sequencer is connected to the RX8's MIDI
OUT and set to MIDI sync, it will be controlled by the RX8's
clock.
The FSK sync signal from the CASSETTE output can be re-
corded on one track of a multi-track tape. Later, the RX8 can
be set to TAPE sync, and this recorded sync signal (via the
RX8's Cassette IN connection) will keep the RX8's tempo in
sync with the tape recording.

MIDI: The RX8 will keep time to MIDI sync signals (F8h timing
clocks) received at MIDI IN, allowing the RX8 to be con-
trolled by the clock of another rhythm machine or sequencer.
The RX8 responds to Song Position Pointer messages, mean-
ing that if your sequencer outputs these messages (both the
QX3 and QXSFD have this capability). you can start from any
part of a song, and the RX8 will start at the right place, too.
The incoming MIDI sync signals will be echoed back from
MIDI OUT, allowing other devices to be synchronized.
When MIDI sync is selected, no playback of patterns or songs
ispossible unless a MIDI clock signal is being received by the
RX8, and а FSK sync will not be sent from the CASSETTE
output.
the CASSETTE input. This allow the RX8 to be synchronized
to a multi-track recording which contains a previously re-
corded FSK sync signal.
