MTC and MClk can be as well if the signal does not leave jack (jack-midi). Midi-clock uses musical time (Bar/Beats) and is not really suitable to sync a DAW if that DAW uses absolute HH:MM:SS:FF timecode. I don't know Reaper, but short of filing a feature request for it to support jack-transport, MTC is probably the easiest option.

Aborting.. If you build it, sign it with your own name not mine. Edit debian/changelog to do so, or just skip gpg-signing it using the -us -uc options (build-deb.sh passes these options on) or simply just compile and don't package it: make # run from src: ./jmtcgen --help sudo make install PREFIX=/usr [...] > The code for mtc-tools is three years old, So? The MIDI-specs are over 30 years old, C-99 is 16 years old and JACK is turning 14. mtc-tools works fine on all platforms that jack runs and I'm not aware that it is in need for maintenance. If it does, please file a bug report, if not, enjoy it with a good bottle of aged wine :) > not sure if it's worth > persuing this or there are other better/newer tools out there... Ardour3 and Ardour4 can do the same (generate LTC, MTC, Midi-clock), qtractor supports Mclk+SSP, and pure-data is another option.
