The challange I have is finding something that's generating MIDI clock or converting MTC to MIDI clock. I've got a Korg Triton which only responds to MIDI clock. I think jlcooper has an MTC to MIDI clock convertor, PPsomethin-or-other. I'll check up on that. Of course I've got the jlcooper datasync2 but I don't think it's gonna do the job. I don't have the manual. And I've got an ADAT BRC but that doesn't look like it's gonna do the job. It seems like this conversion would be an alsa-seq task. My google searches return lots of design considerations for the problem but I don't see anything implemented. Well, perhaps it's time to look at muse which looks like a pretty decent solution in and of itself but is overkill for my immediate needs. Anyway, I'll step out of this thread. I'm way off topic.
