TAPE SYNC
The OX5 can be synchronized with a multi-track tape recorder such as the MT1X. One track of tape is used to record
and play back an FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) sync signal. When you playback the OX5, an FSK sync signal is
sent to the tape recorder. When the QX5 is set to Tape Clock and you playback the tape, the QX5 receives this
FSK sync signal, and plays the sequence back in synchronization with the tape.
In the same way, you can record on the QX5 while synchronized to tape. Press [RECORD], then [START] or
[CONTINUE], before you start the tape. When you start the tape, recording will begin.
