Receive MIDI Timecode (MTC)

We start with an empty project. To start receiving MIDI Timecode (MTC), you click on the add component '+' button on the top left of the start screen.

In the bar that pops up, you click 'Receiver'.

A receiver is added to your project. You select 'MIDI' as the input source by clicking the [MIDI] button, which will then turn green.

To configure the MIDI source, you click the settings button. Here you can set the following settings:

  • Pre roll: the number of seconds of timecode received to wait before locking to the timecode stream
  • Post roll: the number of seconds to remain playing the timecode when the source has stopped receiving timecode
  • The MIDI input you want to use
  • The clock display mode
    • HH:MM:SS:FF: Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames
    • HH:MM:SS:MM: Hours:Minutes:Seconds:1/100th seconds
    • HH:MM:SS:MMM: Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Milliseconds
    • HH:MM:SS: Hours:Minutes:Seconds

When you have MIDI timecode stream running, that outputs to the selected MIDI input, the receiver will start running and lock to the incoming timecode stream. It will display the frame rate below the clock.

When you have created a Sender component, you can draw a routing from the MIDI receiver to the Sender and start converting timecode.
