Title: syncing cubase to a harware clock source
Post by algorhythm on Feb 2^nd, 2006, 7:24am

hey i was wondering if midi ox could transform midi clock to midi time code
i am trying to slave cubase to kentons cfk live which has a built in midi clock and mmc functions
problem is cubas ecan only recive mtc so i need a way to transform the generated midi clock to mtc
i already setup midiox so it recieves the midi clock only problem is to change it into mtc

any help will be greatly appriciated .

No, I'm afraid not. MIDI Sync is tempo based, while MTC is absolute time based (SMPTE). So a conversion is extremely difficult and therefore expensive ($$$). You can purchase professional hardware units to do this, but the cost prevents most except large studios from doing so.
