Midi Time Code

Hi All,

Is anyone here able to explain to me how MTC works within SCS? I can't seem to find any documentation about this in the help menu or by searching previous posts. What I'm basically trying to figure out is whether there's a way to have SCS stream MTC out to my light board so that it's synchronized with a currently-playing audio cue. I've gotten this to work in FL Studio, so I image SCS can do something similar. Any input would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
-Jeff

Rather than look on the Help menu, select the Search tab, enter MTC and click 'list topics'. Do the headings 'MIDI Time Code (MTC)' and 'MTC Cues' not give you the information you require?

Thanks for the Feedback! I gave that I try too before posting, but I get the 'No Topics Found' response. Was this a feature that came along in a recent(ish) update of SCS? I'm currently running SCS 10.7.2. Is it time to upgrade again?

And by comparing the documentation between SCS 10 and SCS 11, it would appear that the answer is 'yes', this was a new feature with SLS 11. So that leads me to one other question... Reading the documentation about MTC, I see the following line:

"Also, if you set up a cue like this:
Qn sub-cue 1: Audio File
Qn sub-cue 2: MTC
then the MTC sub-cue will be 'linked' to the Audio File sub-cue which means they will start together and end together"

Does that mean that if I pause the audio cue while running that the MTC output will also pause?

Thanks again.

Yes, and if you rewind or skip to a new position in the audio file sub-cue then the linked MTC sub-cue will follow the new position.

Perfect. That's exactly what I need. Thanks Mike!
