Synchronizing the TR-707 or the TR-727
MASTER
As a Master (default), the unit sends DIN, Tape and MIDI sync data, both in Track mode and in Pattern mode.
In a combined MIDI and DIN setup, the easiest way to work is to use the unit as a Master and let everything else Slave to the TR.
SLAVE
You can also Slave the unit, but only in Track Play mode. The sync-out possibilities will be maximized only in Tape sync mode.
- press [SHIFT] + [SYNC MODE] to select the Slave mode.
| Slave | display | ---> | sync out |
| from DIN | "S-d" | TR-707 Slaved | --- |
| from MIDI | "S-n" | TR-707 Slaved | --- |
| from Tape | "S-t" | TR-707 Slaved | sends to DIN and MIDI |
| Master | sync out | ||
| --- | --- | TR-707 as Master | sends to DIN, MIDI and Tape |
To synchronise other MIDI (like a PC sequencer) or DIN units, set up the 707 as a Master. I had to make a Windows 98 installation to get the PC to slave to the TR-727 right. Windows XP did speed up the sync time to x2, so that was unusable.
