I have been trying to sync up max with midi time code (specifically make Max the slave to external time code), with no luck. I read Peter Elsea's pdf "Max&MTC.pdf", and copied his code exactly, and couldn't detect the time code coming from A) my external drum machine, nor B) the free "MidiClock" program from Granted Software (

 I can, however, detect any other midi message coming in (like notes, etc.)

I tried using midiin and sysexin objects, and printing what they were recieving, and they weren't recieving any time code.

I made this patch in the end of the last century....

I send a MTC detect patch, but not a MIDI clock one !

MTC is like SMPTE (h:m:s:f).
MIDI clock is not the same message. 
It's just a relative time code (F8).

Do you happen to have a midi clock detection patch?

I am trying to get max to be in sync with my external equipment (korg drum machine and synthesizer).

(I think I just tried to email you, but i don't think it worked, sorry if you got this message twice)

Have a look at the rtin.help file - it does exactly

I just tried rtin, and it worked. I was able to generate the clicks of the downbeat by using a counter to 24. I'm not quite sure why that worked, but it did.

I'm looking at your patch and I don't understand how it works...

I'm trying to create a midi timecode to slave logic pro x to a max patch.

Do I input a regular midi clock (realtime message) and it outputs an MTC message?

Here is a basic MTC generator usable to slave Logic (start/stop).
