The two types of Sync Signals

Basically there are two types of synchronization signals:

Sync To Time Code (SMPTE, EBU, MTC, VITC)

Time Code appears in a number of guises. No matter which “format” it has, it always supplies a “clock on the wall” type of synchronization, that is a synchronization related to hours, minutes, seconds and two smaller units called “frames” and “subframes”.

Sync To MIDI Clock

MIDI Clock is a tempo based type of synchronization signal, that is, it is related to the number of “beats per minute”.

 

Cubase VST has full support for both Time Code and MIDI Clock.
