slower MIDI clock transmission rate.
You can see the tempo change on the
Studio 5’s MIDI IN LED for that
device; it will blink slowly at slow tempos, and very rapidly at fast tempos.
You can slow down the Studio 5>Macintosh communication speed.
Decreasing the communication speed
will give the Macintosh more time to
“see” the incoming MIDI data, and
will help if the Macintosh is busy with
a lot of output as well as input.
If you’re using only one serial cable
between the Macintosh and the
Studio 5, try using two. OMS applications, such as Vision and Studio
Vision, will receive data generated
from within the Studio 5 out the
Studio 5’s “B” port. This includes time
code, Studio 5 footswitch and foot
controller data, as well as Audio In
note events. All other data coming
from MIDI devices connected to the
Studio 5 is received from the
Studio 5’s “A” port. If you are running
a non-OMS application, select
Studio 5>Compatibility Setup in
OMS Setup and select either Standard Interface In or MIDI Time Piece
In. Make sure that sync and only sync
is sent out the Studio 5’s “B” port (the
Auto button will also do this).
If you are running Vision or Studio
Vision, select Setups>Enable Input
Devices and only enable those input
devices from which you will receive
MIDI. If you have 15 devices, but you
only play one or two of them when
you record, disable all other inputs.

With Studio Patches you can design
Virtual Controllers to filter out MIDI
clock messages, active sensing, or
any other offensive data. You can
then use these Virtual Controllers
instead of the actual devices. In
Vision or Studio Vision, select Setups>Enable Input Devices, then
enable the Virtual Controllers and disable the actual devices on which they
are based. For non-OMS applications,
choose Studio 5>Compatibility
Setup, select either Standard Interface In or MIDI Time Piece In
views, then replace the unfiltered
devices with their corresponding Virtual Controllers.
Studio 5 will not sync to tape
Make sure the power cord is firmly
inserted into its connector, the power
switch is on, and that the SMPTE/Power
indicator light is lit.
Check all the cables between your computer and the Studio 5, and between the
Studio 5 and your tape deck.
Verify that the SMPTE/Power indicator
light blinks when it is receiving time code
from the tape deck. If not, you may have a
bad cable or connection between the
Studio 5 and your tape deck. Also, your
SMPTE level may be recorded too low. If
so, you may need to use a preamp or
mixer to boost the SMPTE level before
sending it to the Studio 5. See Guide to
Setting SMPTE Levels (pg. 33).
