SMPTE/LTC in to synch and playback Midi Files

mr.l's icon

Hello,

it's been years I have been using Max.

I need a software on Windows which can playback Midi-Files AND can be controlled by SMPTE or LTC Timecode (don't even really know what the difference is).

I thought, Max could be a tool. Is it? I am looking at the "seq" object right now.

My Master Software is Pandoras Box (from Christie). But Pandora doesn't playback Midi-Tracks.

Ideally I would like to run the assisting Midi-Software (Max) on the same PC.

Now my question is, how to do it?

Any help appreciated!

you have some chance if that master software sends midi time code,

but there is no object I know off that translates smpte audio signal into

any usable sync signal to use for midi sync in max.

another option is here :

could translate smpte to mtc for max

maybe your software sends mmc - midi machine control,

or midi show control

to trigger midi sequences, maybe you could work without sync at all

if midi files are not too long.
