Cubase VST – Master Or Slave?
When you set up a synchronization system you must decide which unit is the mas-
ter. All other devices are then slaved to this unit, which means they will adjust their
playback speed to the master’s.
Cubase VST as a Slave
When a synchronization signal is coming in to Cubase VST, from another device
(such as a tape recorder, a disk based recording system, a drum machine, another
sequencer etc), this device is the master and Cubase VST is the slave. Cubase VST
will adjust its playback to the other device.
Cubase VST as a Master
When you set up Cubase VST to transmit synchronization signals to other devices,
Cubase VST is the master and the other devices are the slaves; they will adjust their
playback to Cubase VST.
Cubase VST – Both Master and Slave
Cubase VST is a very capable synchronizing device. It can operate as both a master
and a slave at the same time. For example, Cubase VST might be slaved to a tape
recorder transmitting time code, while at the same time transmitting MIDI Clock to
a drum machine, acting as a master for that.
