19 CLOCK
The CLOCK button is used to set the clock input and output functions of the MMT-8. Pressing and holding
CLOCK button allows access to the CLOCK pages. The first page is used to select the clocking source, and
will display one of the following choices:
By using the keypad or +/- buttons, one of the three clocking sources can be selected. The default
setting is MIDI & INTERNAL (1), with the other choices being INTERNAL ONLY (2) and TAPE SYNC (3).
The page up and page down buttons can be used to scroll through the next two clock pages:
The +/- buttons can be used to turn each function on or off, respectively. The default setting is MIDI &
INTERNAL clock source, MIDI CLOCK OUT ON, and AUTO START ON. There is no TAPE SYNC out switch,
since this function is always active. The MMT-8 does not need to turn on or off its internal clock, since it
intelligently determines what clock to use when necessary. A functional description of the clocking
possibilities are shown in the table below:
