3. MIDI SYNCHRONIZER MIDI SYNCHRONIZER Thank you for purchasing the Korg KMS 30 To assure opti mum performance and long term reliability please read this KMS 30 Overview _ For synchronized operation of rhythm ma chines sequencers and other equipment you need to use some sort of timing signal MIDI or sync signals can be used to carry this timing in formation Although MIDI and sync signals both use DIN connectors the signal formats are quite dif ferent To synchronize an instrument that uses MIDI with one that uses sync you must convert each type of signal into the other The KMS 30 is an interface designed for this purpose lt can convert clock signals be tween MIDI and sync signal formats It can also handle tape sync TAPE CLOCK and MIDI start and stop commands The KMS 30 handles these three kinds of sig nals 1 SYNC 24 48 clock pulses per beat 2 MIDI Start stop clock 3 TAPE CLOCK Contents e Precautions Features and Functions Basic Operation I Sequencer as master rhythm machines as slaves 3 4 6 2 Rhythm machine as master sequencers or rhythm ma chines as slaves 3 Tape clock as master sequencers or rhythm machines as slaves e Typical Setups e Specifications Options 12 13 A Precautions Please read and observe the following precautions to assure reliability and safety m LOCATION a WARRANTY To avoid malfunction do not use this unit In the f
