Synchronizing to the VS-880 Hard

Disk Recorder

You can connect the XP-80 to the VS-880 and synchronize it

to the VS-880 so you can easily put together the song you

have created on the XP-80 with vocals or acoustic instrument

performance. In other words, by syncing to the VS-880, you

can create an audio track for the XP-80. Both the XP-80 and

VS-880 can serve as a controller, so you can easily synchro-

nize with vocals or your own acoustic instrument as you

play.

...........................................................................................................

When synchronizing the XP-80 to the VS-880, the following

relationship will be established.

The XP-80 can control start and stop of song playback and

move to a different Song position in the song by transmitting

MMC commands to the VS-880. The VS-880 in turn controls

start and stop of the song playback and recording as well as

moving to a different Song position in the song by sending

MIDI messages to the XP-80. This makes it possible to per-

form loop play or punch-in recording that records only at a

specified point.

MMC is a protocol used to control tape recorders, video tape

recorders, digital recording systems and other recorders by

MIDI. Thirty seven MMC commands are available including

Stop and Play.

Getting ready to sync to the VS-880

Setting parameters

To have the XP-80 sync to the VS-880, set the XP-80’s para-

meters as shown below. These parameters should be reset to

the original settings after synchronization is completed.

MMC Output parameter (SEQ/Setup/SEQ System Setup)

When using the XP-80 to control the VS-880, put ON. When

using the XP-80 to be controlled by the VS-880, put OFF.

✳ Actions cannot be carried out correctly when the VS-

880 controls the XP-80 with MMC Output parameter

ON.

Frame Mode parameter (SEQ/Setup/SEQ System Setup)

To match the XP-80’s frame rate with the VS-880’s, set this

parameter to the same value as the VS-880’s MTC Type para-

meter setting. If the VS-880’s MTC Type parameter is set to

29N, set this parameter to 30.

✳ When connecting the XP-80 to the VS-880, it is recom-

mended to set both units’ parameters to 30.

Offset Time parameter (SEQ/Setup/SEQ System Setup)

To allow the XP-80 and VS-880 to locate the same Song posi-

tion, set this parameter to the same value as the VS-880’s Ofs

parameter setting.

Recording the XP-80 song’s MIDI clock on the VS-

880’s sync track

To synchronize the XP-80 to the VS-880, you can either use

the VS-880’s sync track or tempo map.

When synchronizing a song with a constant tempo from

song beginning to end or with just a minor tempo change,

you should create a tempo map before syncing. For details,

refer to the VS-880’s instructions. In this case, below men-

tioned procedures are not necessary.

When syncing a song containing gradual tempo changes

such as accelerandos or ritardandos, use a sync track. When

compared to the tempo map that sets tempo in measure

intervals, using the sync track makes it possible to follow

subtle tempo changes more accurately.

✳ Insert several blank measures at the beginning of the

VS-880 and XP-80 songs in order to avoid any sync

instability.

❶ Connect the XP-80 to the VS-880 via a MIDI cable as

shown below.

❷ Make sure that the Sync Mode parameter

(SEQ/Setup/SEQ System Setup) is set to INTERNAL,

MMC output parameter (SEQ/Setup/SEQ System

Setup) is set to ON.

❸ Select the XP-80 song that you want to sync to the VS-880.

❹ Set the VS-880 parameters so that it can record a MIDI

clock on its sync track.

✳ For details, refer to the VS-880’s instructions.

❺ Press [STOP/PLAY] to play back the XP-80 song.

As soon as the XP-80 song playback begins, the MIDI clock

will be recorded on the VS-880’s sync track. Once song play-

back ends, the VS-880 will stop the MIDI clock recording

automatically.
