Trying to sync MIDI time code in MAX.
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 (http://www.grantedsw.com/midiclock/). 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.
If anyone can help, that'd be great!

Hi,
I made this patch in the end of the last century....
Hope that can help you !
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).
What do you need ?
Hi, I guess I needed a midi clock one!
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).
Thanks again,
Paul
(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
that,
cheers

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.
@Francios,
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).
