Typical System Set-up
(see Figure 2)
A Typical System Set-up (see Fig. 2) consists of Mac Syncman, a Mac
running some sequencer program, a tape deck, a master keyboard and
one or more MIDI sound modules. Additionally, you may have a printer
or a modem in your set up which you occasionally use for musical or
non-musical applications (as hard to believe as this may be). We suggest
that this Set-up be connected as follows:
1. Connect the MIDI Out of your master keyboard to the modem MIDI
In on the front panel of the Mac Syncman.
2. Connect the MIDI In of the master keyboard to the modem MIDI
Out on the front panel of the Mac Syncman.
3. Connect the modem MIDI Outs on the back of the Mac Syncman to
the MIDI Ins of any additional MIDI sound modules you may have.
4. Connect the Tape Out on the back of the Mac Syncman to the Tape In
of the last (or sync) track of your tape deck.
5. Connect the Tape In on the back of the Mac Syncman to the Tape Out
of the last (or sync) track of your tape deck.
6. Connect the Modem Serial In on the back of the Mac Syncman to the
modem serial port on your Mac.
7. Connect the Printer Serial In on the back of the Mac Syncman to the
printer serial port on your Mac.
8. Connect the Modem Serial Out on the back of the Mac Syncman to
the your modem.
9. Connect the Printer Serial Out on the back of the Mac Syncman to
the your printer.
If you are ready to sequence and do not need to use your printer or
modem at this instant go ahead and press in the two Serial Thru
Switches on the front of the Mac Syncman. Remember, when these
switches are in, the MIDI interface is selected - rather than the serial
thru. We also recommend that you set the Routing switch to the 2 x 3
(center) position, since this configuration is the most common and offers
the most versatility.
Also, if you are using Master Tracks, Vision, newer versions of
Performer, Logic, Cubase, or any other MIDI Time Code capable
sequencer, we suggest you set the front dip-switches as follows.
