WORKING WITH HOST AUDIO SOFTWARE

To set up LTC-to - M TC conversion:
1 Set the interface Clock Mode to Internal (or any
other desired setting).
2 Set the other LTC settings as needed, as
discussed in “Syncing to SMPTE time code (LTC)”
on page 48, including the Computer Channel for
LTC-to-MTC Conversion setting.
3 If you would like MIDI Time Code to continue
to be generated, even after LTC stops being
received, check Enable Jam Sync (Figure 5-22 on
page 49). Otherwise, leave it unchecked.
4 Follow the directions for MTC (SMPTE) sync
in your DAW software.
Your MOTU interface driver automatically
communicates with OS X, creating a device in the
computer’s Audio MIDI Setup configuration that
reports its time code port to any MTC-compatible
host software. If your host software requires that
you specify the port, you should see your MOTU
interface SMPTE Sync port as an available option
in the list. In Digital Performer, this is the Sync to
port menu in the Receive Sync settings (Setup
menu), which is set to Any by default (so it should
just work). Here’s a summary for a few popular
DAW hosts:
