Would it be possible to have a way of putting a window with MTC on the screen to verify the DAW is indeed running?

Question

I am currently using MD to send GoTo (MIDI Locate) commands to cue up a particular song, then a Play command to CuBase5 to play the song. Is it possible to make a window that displays incoming MIDI time code from CuBase to verify it is running? Also I am very interested in the possibility of sending text to labels, etc...

Love the app!

Hi and thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to think about this, but first off: do you mean MIDI Clock or MIDI Time Code? Sorry if this seems redundant, just checking...

For my application I use MIDI timecode to synchronize multiple Mac Mini's for various playback items during our show. I hope this helps!

Yes, that helps. So you would want to see the time code in hours/minutes/seconds, or the bar/beat according to some tempo?

---

Hour / Minutes / Seconds / Frames would be ideal.

Okay, thanks for getting back. At this point I cannot say when it's going to happen, and it might not be until Fall. Getting ready for iOS 7 will definitely take first priority, unfortunately.

Thanks for the love, too.  If you haven't reviewed MD in the App Store, please do. Every bit counts. Thanks!

Answer 1

This isn't actually an answer... it's a lingering question. Did something like this ever get implemented? I have a similar use for Loopy HD... I'd like to see some indication of where the song pointer is to give me some indication of when to press a pedal (mainly to stop me pressing it a second time too early).

Any display of midi clock, MTC might help me with this... can't seem to find how to do this on this forum, or in videos, etc. (I think I've read/watched all available... apologies if it's staring me in the face and I've missed it!)

Hi and thanks for your "bump" of this question. There's nothing new on this question, though you can use the Log to see what's going on. This is not a solution, but it works.

(I'm currently out of reach and not back until tuesday July 8 to check what other possibilities exist, but most likely the answer is going to be "we'll add this when we add support for clock" or something like that. More on this soon, thanks for your patience)
