Midi timecode out

1

Hi guys,

Is there a way to generate/send Midi timecode out in a similar manner to disguise where you can add a MTC layer to the timeline and specify timecode for it to generate?

Thanks,

Hi Harry,

Thanks for posting on our Answerhub!

I have created a quick “Send MTC” layer template for you, which you can add to C:\ProgramData\Lightact\LightAct4\templates\user.

Unfortunately, Answehub forum will not let me attach this layer template type of file here, so I would be happy to send it over to you via email if you could share it with me.

Otherwise, you can also reconstruct the layer template I created on your own by starting with a Blank layer and using the “Get data from Timeline” and “Send MTC” nodes. Please refer to the screenshot below:

I hope this helps.

Hi Sara,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I can get this working but it appears that the MTC jumping or drifting as I am getting sporadic erros on the mif4 I am connected to via USB.

I can send MTC to the mif4 from it’s control software and it runs without errors.

Is there a way I can set a time for the timecode to start rather than using the timeline time? I have found the generate value timecode node but cant work out how to get it to run timecode to the MTC node

Thanks,

H
