I have been wondering whether my deck is listening for the right kind of MIDI signal (does DB output MTC of 30 frames per second?
Yep, should be sending quarter-frames based on 30 fps.
what device ID would be correct? again 17 seems a kind of default, but ...)
For MTC, there is no device ID because it is is just a MIDI real-time event that is not channel-specific. For the MMC play/stop commands, it's sending on device id 0x7f ("all devices"). Where does 17 come from?
perhaps the iBook is outputting a shaky MIDI signal I need to set my Sync Error Level setting on the deck higher ....
This could be. It would be interesting to examine the actual MIDI output in relation to what is supposed to be sending; I wonder if some stuff is getting dropped. If I had a DIN cable here I could hook up my MOTU deck and plug the MIDI out to the MIDI in, and watch what happens...
But none of those things should affect DB's capacity to simply output audio...
True, and that's what's baffling me. I have one other small theory, w/rt which I have made a small change in the code which hopefully I will post later today. How fast is your iBook, perchance? -b -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
