- From the General tab, set the Sync Mode to “MTC.” make sure the offset is set to the correct time to match up with your ADAT.
- From the MIDI tab, check the Send MMC box.
- From the Environment window, create a new Multi Instrument, enable eight tracks, give it a tape deck icon (icon #305 for the advanced user) and make sure it’s connected to the correct serial port. When you give a device a tape deck icon, this gives it the ability to send or receive MMC. You can connect it to any port number; since MMC is non-cablized, it does not need to be connected to a specific port. It can even share a port with another device without causing any problems.
- In the arrange window, create eight tracks and set them to be eight different parts. When you click on a track, it becomes record enabled. You can record enable many tracks by shift-clicking on more than one track. The ADAT will play, stop, locate, and respond to MMC from Logic.
