smpte or mtc or... Extracting data in Max
Hi all
I've looked all over the forum and couldn't find anything conclusive on how to parse MTC or smpte in
Max .
PROJECT GOAL;
- sync a TouchDesigner movie player with 6 channel file using [groove~]
The "start sampler" for both players needs to be in sync. So I 'm looking for a smpte or MTC or .... to give the go.
I was also wondering if somehow [transport] 's interclock could be a save of MTC or smpte.
I also know know that you can now slave groove~ to [transport]
Forum SEARCH;
-I did find the smpte~ by Mattijs Kneppers (arttech.nl)
unfortunately , it 's mac only for now , my solution is needed for windows only.
- I did find this little snippet that converts mtc.
Any suggestion , solution ,experiences
would be great.
Thanks a million in advance

What Florian said, also
Thanks guys,
had just found and downloaded Peter's stuff right after I posted this.
I have not yet started to dive into it, but with Peter's patch , can we send as well as receive
Thanks a lot guys

This is all unfamiliar territory for me and I think
I'm not precise enough (I apologies) for you to help me.
What I want:
-Sync a 6ch source using [groove~] to a Master time clock.
- this time clock would also influence the visual sampler nested in TouchDesigner.
What I'm curious about:
- can the MMC or MTC send a BPM value showing if the clock is slowing down of speeding up.
- if so, I could send that data to the [transport @name bla]'s @tempo and slave [groove @transport bla @timestretch 1] to that transport.
That way, if things speed up or slow down over a 2 hour Movie/Sound clip, [groove] will follow .
-Another question is; [transport] has a @clocksource
like the focusrite scarlette for example. https://us.focusrite.com/usb-audio-interfaces/scarlett-18i20
would that even change anything.
Syncing in TouchDesigner:
- The point of using MTC is to have both TD & Max's Playback startpoint to be triggered simultaneously. Based on a external clock.
- the other solution is to send and OSC message ( /start N)
there is no way to know if they're slowing down or speeding up over 2 hours.
Below is a patch demonstrating what I think is a possible set up in Max.
Finally
to drive [jit.movie]'s (position $1) and that would be that ;-)
Thanks a lot you guys & gals
Also, I forget to include
@offby1: Why is your parse MTC and send MTC connected to the same prepend set ?
Is this your way of keeping things in sync ??
thanks
oops posted wrong patch in the previous post
> – can the MMC or MTC send a BPM value showing if the clock is slowing down of speeding up.
No. For tempo synchronisation you need to use MIDI beat clock instead.
Ok thanks for the info ,
So is there a way sync a groove~ to a smpte of MTC .
if not groove , then play~ of wave~ or a phasor drive these ?
smpte to drive a audio file must have been done in MSP before right ?
