We once had an AKAI MPC1000 running as a master for a "big studio" ProTools rig using LTC. Good times.

- windowliker 18d agoWere you using a MIDI to SMPTE converter of some kind? The MPC 1000 only has MIDI I/O, no SMPTE tape sync. And the stock firmware only offered regular MIDI clock, not even MTC[1], though it is possible to get MTC in and out of an MPC 1000 using the unofficial JJOS OS[2].

- monster_truck 18d agoYou're holding it wrong. You can just record a real one and play it back. I use the same cursed approach with my 2500XL to intake/chop/modify/output cv/note signals to a modular setup (which has a handful of outs that don't need to be modified to do this) JJOS is legendary though. Crazy how much it adds

- butterknife 17d agoA real LTC timecode signal. It was designed to be recorded on tape and used to sync multiple tape machines together among other uses.
- butterknife 17d agoDid a similar thing too with a sample of a single square pulse which allowed us to "sequence" a Juno 60 arpeggiator.
- butterknife 17d agoSorry, yes it was MTC, not LTC! We used JJOS. It is such an awesome upgrade over the stock OS.
