Generating MTC with an offset 
In some cases, you may want to start sending timecode with an offset (e.g., 01:00:00:00) to allow time for multiple devices to 
synchronize. You can create an offset on the ACID time ruler to accomplish this. For more information, see 
Viewing outgoing timecode 
You can view outgoing timecode in the time display located directly above the track list. Right-click the time display and choose MIDI 
Timecode Out 
from the shortcut menu to display outgoing MTC time. 
Triggering from MIDI timecode 
You can trigger ACID playback using MTC. This means that the software initiates playback by receiving timecode from another device. 
1. 
Connect a word clock signal between your computer and triggering device to lock synchronization. 
Note:
 If the MIDI trigger device can output MIDI timecode, a timecode converter is not necessary; you can connect the trigger device 
directly to your computer. 
2. 
Configure your triggering device to send MTC to your computer. 
3. 
From the Options menu, choose Preferences and select the Sync tab to configure the application to receive MTC. 
 
From  the
 Input device drop-down list, choose the port through which you receive MTC. 
 
From  the
 Frame rate drop-down list, choose the frame rate that your trigger device uses to send MTC to ACID. 
4. 
From the Options menu, choose Timecode, and choose Trigger from MIDI Timecode from the submenu. 
When an incoming MTC signal is received, playback begins from the position indicated by the timecode. If MTC is not being 
received, you can play and edit normally. 
Viewing incoming timecode 
You can view the incoming timecode in the time display located directly above the track list. Right-click the time display and choose 
MIDI Timecode In from the shortcut menu to show the incoming MTC time. 
This display also shows status and error information. If Trigger from MIDI Timecode is enabled but no MTC is detected, the display 
reads Waiting...; If the wrong frame rate of MTC is being detected, the display reads Wrong format
