Motu Time Piece XT . It say Device off line
'smpte reader' - is NOT the midi timecode input device - -- SMPTE reader used to read audio directly from the sound port.Originally Posted by emilianomorgia
they are different.
for mtc input you need the midi time code input device.
Not in the Motu XT . the motu Xt read the SMPTE and send it to an MIDI output as MTC .Originally Posted by samsc
I had installed other apps that use the MTC to make sure that the converted SMPTE was sent to mac as MTC and the other apps read it correcly .
the Pix do not read what the other app read .
if a midi device says 'offline' you need to check the audio midi setup application.Originally Posted by emilianomorgia
and whatever software the midi device has to control its ports.
---
audio midi setup app screen capture shown below - showing both active and 'offline' devices.
if in doubt delete everything, and start from scratch with an empty setup.
Ok this couse me a lot of problem , actually the PixMad say device offline because the device s driver was corrupted . At fisrt time i take a while to understand that because the device was showed in the midi set up .Originally Posted by samsc
Btw after restoring the driver , other apps did read the MTC but not PIXMAD .
i did resolve the problem . I had to lunch the Motu in the garbage !!!
I m now using a old MidiMan Syncman that convert SMPTE to MTC then the MTC goes in a Saffire LE so now Pixel Mad recognize the TC .
I strongly raccomand to do NOT use MOTU XT or AV . those things are @+"><£ ... you know what I mean .
Also I think if richard could make a SMPTE READER module into the Cat / PM / SaMsc control pannel , where those use the LINE IN to get SMPTE things will be more easy .
thanks
