SYNC BOX

1. A box that synchronizes a MIDI sequencer (either computer- or hardware- based) to a tape recorder, so the sequencer becomes a natural extension of the tape deck and does not waste audio tracks. The sync box permits the computer to shuttle forward and backward and stay precisely synched to what is on tape. 2. A unit that translates between the sync messages of MIDI and a special sync signal that is recorded on one tape track.
