Synchronizing a MIDI sequencer
to the playback time using MTC
The term MIDI Time Code (MTC) refers to a type of time-
synchronization message that is output every frame in order
to allow MIDI sequencers to be synchronized. Since MTC is
based on time and not tempo, it allows extremely precise
synchronization to be achieved. Although this technique is
most often used with video equipment and the like, a large
number of MIDI sequencers are also MTC compatible.
