Even though I tell people that I have been using the Roland MC-202 as my master clock in my studio for the last 20 years, it somehow does not sink in. Many friends - who even know some of my methods - are surprised when I press 'play' on the MC-202 and everything starts up or when I turn the tempo knob on the MC-202 and everything follows suit. I have even heard seasoned veterans ask "what just happened?"
Let me be clear about something though - the studio has grown up around this clock idea and it started only with a few pieces of gear, connected in a similar fashion. As the studio grew, in came the need for DIN multiples and additional sequencers for various devices.

Well... here is a wiring diagram of the synchronization between devices in the studio.
For more information on synchronization techniques, see my other posts on FSK or DIN sync.
I noticed you use two MSQ-700s. I am looking for one myself at the moment, mainly to integrate my Juno 60 with my other MIDI gear. I have heard good things about them--what do you like about it compared to other sequencers?
ReplyDeleteYes, I have 1 broken one as well that I use for parts. I will write a new post about them. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCool, looks like I'll be snagging one this weekend!
