How to sync Numerology to Cubase 4 via MTC

  1. Start Numerology. If you have installed Numerology's ReWire Driver, be sure to start Numerology first, to make sure ReWire mode is avoided.

  2. Start Cubase

  3. In Cubase, bring up the Transport dialog, and click on the Project Synchronization Setup. Select the bus you want to use for sending MTC from Cubase to Numerology. You will probably also want to set the MIDI Timecode Follows Project Time flag.



  4. Also in Cubase, bring up the Project dialog, and click on Project Setup

  5. Set Frame Rate to 30 fps.

  6. Make sure the start time is set to 0:00:00:00.



  7. close the dialog

  8. In Numerology, bring up the Sync Setup dialog (via a menu item in the Numerology menu)

  9. Choose MTC as the sync input format.

  10. For the Sync In MIDI port, choose the same MIDI device you picked as the sync destination in Logic.

  11. Choose "30 fps non-drop" as the SMPTE Format.



  12. Since MTC does not transmit tempo, you have to manually set the tempo in Numerology to match that in Logic.

  13. In the Numerology transport, click the "power button" next to the sync label. This button allows you to globally turn sync on and off for a Numerology project, both for sync transmission and sync reception. When you click this button, and sync reception is setup, Numerology's transport will be disabled, indicating that you should use the transport on the sync master.

Now when you start Cubase's transport, Numerology should chase and follow appropriately. If not, review the steps above and look for any discrepancies. In particular, check the MIDI port you are using to transmit sync, as well as the SMPTE format and start time.
