Terry, I understand how you're able to initially record your vocals while monitoring the drum intro & midi backing sequence played back on your Tyros, but how are you able to keep the Tyros midi sequence playback and vocals recorded on the multi-track recorded 'in sync' on playback ? Which play button do you press first (the Tyros sequencer's or the Digital Recorder), and exactly 'when' do you press each of them.

At what point in the recording process are you recording the Tyros midi sequence backing tracks to the Digital Multitrack Recorder. As I choose to remain in the midi domain when mixing the midi tracks, I prefer waiting till all vocal & non midi tracks have been recorded before recording the final stereo midi mixdown to the Digital Recorder. This being the case, I would think it not possible to accurately sync up (by ear) the stereo midi mixdown to other already recorded tracks on the Digital Multitrack recorder. Might I be missing something in your explanation?

I believe that syncing up the Tyros to the Digital Recorder (via Midi Clock, MTC, or MMC) is really the only foolproof solution to keeping both units 'in sync' both during recording, and on playback. It's my asssumption that the Tyros only supports Midi Clock, but not MTC or MMC sync methods. Can anyone confirm if this is true?

This being the case, I'm still hoping to get some clarification on exactly how the Tyros must be set up to act a slave to my Digital Recorder (Korg D1200mkII).

To further clarify my midi connection/setup: I have a midi cable connected from the Korg D1200mkII Digital Recorder's mid out socket to the "Midi-A: IN" socket of my Tyros keyboard. On the Tyros, I have the selected the following midi preset configuration template: Function> Midi > "Clock Ext A". It's my understanding that with this setup configuration, after loading a midi file into the song sequencer and then pressing the sequencer's 'start/stop' button, that this button would then light-up or flash 'in waiting' for an incoming signal (from the Korg Digital Recorder) to triger it to begin playing. My Tyros song sequencer's start/stop button doesn't light-up or flash after I press it. Is there something wrong with my keyboard, or do I still not have things set up properly on my Tyros keyboard to perform in slave mode? Also, what settings need to be made on the Korg D1200mkII to make this work? I hope someone can help me here. Thanks.
