Ya, the box put your chosen smpte on the tape and translated that to
bars/notes at b/m. A song could be loaded with sysex that had time sig.
and tempo changes... I never did, because I just recorded without using
the metronome and so was not on the notes anyway. That seemed to be what
worked best with the qx7 I used then.
Sure, a pro/consumer tape recorder always is the SMPTE
master and the
computer just is a MIDI sequencer without hard disk recording.
I had a mega2... so no real audio IF. A fostex R8 for which I can no
longer find tape locally. I missadjusted track 8 to record 10db down so
there was less crosstalk from the smpte track to audio.
