Hi Billy !
Thanks for the answer.
The IIx unfortunately doesn´t sync to Midi.
The manuals that I have for the General Interface card doesn´t go into
detail about how to sync the IIx.
What I like to do is feed clocks ( 384 ppq as I can decipher from various
sources ) into the CMI IIx.
But should I connect it to the Midi box Sync input with a cable from the
Midi box clock out to the CMI sync input or
should I only connect to the Midi Box or
should I only connect to the CMI Sync input.
That´s the question.
Hmmm.....
Maybe I should solder some adapters.

In the past - we would record a track of sync tone and then feed it back to
the Fairlight (IIx) to sync the Fairlight to tape. I never ttried synching
with midi though i would assume this can be done on the IIx. I sync with
SMPTE now on a series III.
good luck.

You sync the IIx by using a 384 PPQ sync into the sync input on the back of the mainframe, in the row along the bottom.
You will need to make a custom cable for this. Going by memory, the IIx (as well as the I and II) use that jack for both input and output. One is to pin 2, one is to pin 3, and they share a common ground to pin 1. The manual has this diagram in the back)
This works for Page R. For Page 9 and for MCL you will have different clock rates.
