Title: Timestamp?
Post by mva2se on Mar 8^th, 2008, 5:22am

Hi.

The timestamp in the input monitor window shows something like 00000828 for the first message, then 000008c9 for next message ,and so on.
I guess the format is in hexadecimal, and maybe describes number of milliseconds since program start, or something.

So, my question is, are the timestamps relevant and if so, how can I interpret them?

Best regards

The timestamps are in hex by default but you can change to decimal using the Options -> Data Display menu item.They show milliseconds with "0" being when the MIDI port was opened. This is not something we calculate or keep track of. We are telling you what Windows is telling us. Whether or not that information is relevant to you is your call.
