timing clock

[alogic]

HI,could anyone tell me how many timing clocks signals is sending the master sequencer, in order to increment one in the song position pointer (statusF2; MSB0-7f;LSB 0-7f)???

I´m doing it at 24 ticks =1lsb; and 128lsb=1msb,

but I don´t know if I must do it at 16ticks=1lsb; and 128lsb=1msb .

The SMPTE uses different modes like  24:128:128 ; 25:128:128 and some more, but How many modes does the MTC use?

Thanks alot

MIDI clock and SMPTE/MTC are two different things.

There is no direct relation, as MIDI clock works step based, whereas SMPTE works timeframe based.

I think I´ve read Each MIDI Beat spans 6 MIDI Clocks, so there are 24 MIDI Clocks in a quarter note instead of 24 or 16 for each Midi beat ::)

It would be 6timing clock= 1lsb and 128lsb=1msb
