The Yamaha MSS1 is a MIDI synchronizer designed to precisely lock any clock-driven MIDI device to SMPTE time code played from an ultraviolet video tape or other SMPTE source. It supports frame rates of 30, 25, or 24 frames/sec and can generate its own code for large song memory applications.
The document details the unit's controls and connections, including the front panel display, mode keys, and various input/output jacks such as MIDI IN/OUT, SMPTE I/O, and Click In. It provides instructions on setting time code frame rates, recording sync tempo data using internal memory or external RAM cartridges, and performing playback in both non-sync and chase modes.
