Frustrated greetz :) I had a phone call with a friend, he said MTC sync between a Sequential Studio and an Atari ST is fine, but between a Windows PC and a Atari ST the sync sometimes is shifted. As far as I can remember sync between a Yamaha drum computer and an Atari ST was fine when I used MTC, but often the sync is shifted, when running Linux on my PC synced with my Atari ST.
It was a long phone call about other studio issues, I'll check out a drum computer synced to Linux as soon as possible. I only have a RX21 including it's own sequencer, but the RX21 can receive song position, I googled for it, I can't send song position by the RX21. I wonder if a Atari ST and a Yamaha RX21 can be synced by MTC and a Linux PC and a Yamaha RX21 too, but not a Linux PC and an Atari ST? This should be impossible. I'm missing a MIDEX + for my Atari ST and I only have two audio IOs for my Linux PC, so I can't check out SMPTE at the moment. SMPTE always has been fine with my Atari ST and tapes. Can there be a problem with MTC for any Linux and Windows PC? It's not a fixed shift, sometimes the song position is fine, sometimes it's around 1 or 2 bars negative or positive delayed. I hoped to get an Atari in sync with Linux. I can get nearly complete new Atari equipment, but a MIDEX, also a monitor might be a problem. I can repair my old monitor and there isn't the need to have a MIDEX. So a sequencer will be for free, if I can sync it to my Linux PC. By the way, an MIDIX + (4 MIDI outs, 2 MIDI ins and SMPTE) costs still 100,-€, because it seems to be, that I'm not the only one thinking to go back to the Atari Cubase 3.1 and Cubase 3.1 with dongle key still is at 75,-€, but my Cubase 3.1 and dongle key are still fine. Are there PC chipsets known as bad, when there is the need to use MTC? Cheers, Ralf
