This is my attempt to create a Logic Control interface. It can display the MTC, but is a little bit buggy

Hi MyCo,

thanks 4 ur osm...

But i thought Midi Clock has Status 248... http://home.roadrunner.com/~jgglatt/tech/midispec/clock.htm Your version shows only some '@.@...'

It's the MTC (Status 241) not the Timing clock

Yeah, got it 😉

But my Master-Clock-Proggi send nothing i can detect until now with the splitter... Is undocumented... 🙁 will place a sniffer (damn what was the name...) 2 see what comes out!

Sniffer shows: Midi Clock sends only status F8...! no Data and that's why the splitter gives nothing inc. no trigger 🙁

we need a splitter that filter Midi-Status-changes!

that's a bummer!

but OTOH, as long as there is no accurate timing in SM, midi clock has no use

Dj-Grobe ·

yes have some uses, and i really need some way to reciv external midi clock : (

sunsynth ·

Hmm,

we need a little external 'converter' proggy which translates the F8 Status Byte into one the splitter can 'read' for a workaround... I'm just trying MidiOX... wait 4 a solution...

Everybody here know midiclock cant be really reliable for all common task, but really can be great if malc create experimental module, just for fun and usefull for some things where midi clock if not is realible no is a problem.

Im thinking now, in create STEP SEQUENCER visualizator for ableton, for run undee MonoTouchLive, i plain use midi clock just for visualization of grids, in that situation MIDI clock really can be usefull : ) Without MIDI clock i cant create !

Please malc ! : )
