Fairlight-CMI

Hi All. You don't mention what you're trying to sync to, but I assume it's a recorded track. Why not use SMPTE code? - that what it was designed for. In the old days, we "striped" (recorded) code on track 24 on the 2" tape, (which the IIX can generate). Then you just set up the RS page to chase sync SMPTE. For younger persons reading, the "chase" allowed you to drop in anywhere in the song, and within a few milliseconds the CMI would know where it was. Previous to this, you had to run from the top of the song everytime - even if you were working on the  4 outro bars!

Hope this helps,
