Machine Control Input Source
Nuendo can follow incoming transport commands (locate, play, record) and respond to record-enabling commands for audio tracks. This allows Nuendo to easily integrate into larger studio systems with centralized machine control and synchronization such as theatrical mixing stages.
- MIDI Machine Control
When MIDI Machine Control is selected as the input source, several settings become available in the Machine Control Input Settings section:
Option
Description
MMC Input
Set this to the MIDI input that is connected to the master machine control device.
MMC Output
Set this to the MIDI output that is connected to the master machine control device.
MMC Device ID
This determines the MIDI ID number that is used to identify the machine in Nuendo.
ImportantThe MMC protocol involves polling devices (requesting information) for their status which requires 2-way communication. While some functions may work with only one way communication, it is best to connect both MIDI ports (input and output) of MMC devices.
- Steinberg ‘Time Base’
When the Time Base unit is connected to Nuendo, there are various settings for machine control input. Please refer to the documentation that comes with the Time Base for complete information on its use.
- Steinberg SyncStation
When the SyncStation is selected as the machine control input source, there are several options for how these commands are routed within the SyncStation itself. Please refer to the documentation that comes with the SyncStation for complete information on its use.
