Dear All,
Like @Maximortal, I have setup and tested MTC with Isadora v2.1 under Windows and it works properly. My test steps were as follows:
This test uses the programs MIDI OX and MIDI Yoke. MIDI OX, among many other things it can do, will generate MTC. Midi Yoke is a "virtual" MIDI driver. It allows programs to share MIDI data by created 8 virtual input ports, and 8 virtual output ports.
Install MIDI-OX and MIDI Yoke. (You can get these for free here:
http://www.midiox.com/) You will need to restart after installing Midi Yoke. (Note: under Windows 8, I had to right click the .msi installer file for MIDI Yoke, and choose "Troubleshoot Compatibility" to get Midi Yoke to install properly.)
Run MIDI-OX. Select
Options > Midi Devices... to open the Midi Devices dialog
Double click "Out to Midi Yoke 1" in the bottom left pane. "Out to Midi Yoke 1" will now appear in the top right pane under "Port Mapping."
Click OK to close the Midi Devices dialog
Choose
View > MTC Transport to show the Midi Time Code Transport window. I used the default settings, but you can change the frame rate, accuracy and other settings here.
Then, in Isadora...
Open Isadora
Choose
Communications > Midi Setup to show the MIDI Setup window
Under "Input Ports" on the left, set Port 1 to receive from "In From Midi Yoke: 1" so that Isadora will receive messages from MIDI-OX via Midi Yoke Port 1
Add a MTC Reader actor to the Scene Editor
Go back to MIDI-OX and
Press the Play button on the MTC Transport control.
Go back to Isadora and check the MTC Reader actor. You should see it reporting the MIDI Time Code from MIDI OX.
Best Wishes,
Mark
