Title: MIDI Clock --> MTC
Post by mgpmusic on Apr 1^st, 2002, 2:12pm

Can MIDI-OX make this translation for me? My master sync will only send data via Midi Clock form, but my slave app will only recognize a MTC. (FruityLoops, Acid Pro, respectively.) I'm going through the documentation, and I *think* this can be done, but I'm not sure. Any advise?

Also, this is a great program! I'd even pay for this one!!! :) Nothing like trying to figure out if something is working like it should or not. This thing makes it so easy to check!

Because of the complexities involved, we've never even attempted performing a Sync - MTC conversion. MTC is absolute time based, while MIDI Sync is tempo based. If the tempo changed during a conversion, the entire sync would fall apart. What you can do, though is to use MIDI-OX as the master and trigger MTC and MIDI Sync at the same time.

After the initial trigger, they both just freewheel and could drift over time.
