Two multitracktape machines are typically locked together by the MicroLynx to provide enough audio tracks for instruments and vocals.Some productions require more than two interlocked multitracks.Console fader automation is also the norm for record mix downs,and an absolute necessity for “dance” mixes.In addition, many projects also involve virtual tracks. Virtualtracks are MIDI synthesizer and drum machine parts that aresynchronized to tape, and played back “live” in real time, ratherthan being recorded onto multitrack. The Micro Lynx provides theall-important SMPTE to MIDI translation.MIDI is also the protocol used to automate effects processors, suchas digital reverbs, harmonizers, etc. These MIDI devices canchange programs mid-song, and even perform real time individualparameter changes mid-program. Some mixing consoles, particularlythose designed for personal use and project studios also haveMIDI automated switching or mixing features.In short, just about every device in the recording studio − tape machines,consoles, effects processors, and electronic instruments, cannow be automated using SMPTE, and MIDI, and the appropriateTimeLine equipment. Thus the Electronic Recording studio iscreated.KEYBOARDMIDISEQUENCERATRATRDIGITAL AUDIOWORKSTATIONMACINTERFACEMIDICONTROLTIME CODECONTROLTIME CODETimeLine Micro Lynx System UnitACGWORD CLOCKTIME CODETimeLineRS422POWER SUPPLYMIDIEFFECTS PROCESSORKEYBOARD CONTROLLERSMPTE013AFigure Appendix A-11.
