Re: hi new guy here: MIDI Clock question ATTN: Steve and Aaron :P

2007-01-19 by steve_the_composer

I took a quick peek at the MIDIIN.PAS file where I found the 
following note:

"Midi Time Code (MTC) and Active Sensing: The DLL is currently 
hardcoded to filter these short events out, so that we don't spend 
all our time processing them."

Without delving further, my guess is that MIDICON3 will not give you 
access to the F8, FA, FB, F9 bytes you need.

Other options include--finding other libraries, though I wonder if 
there are others in Pascal. I do recall seeing a number of libraries 
avaialble in C/C++ a few years ago; writing your own midi event 
handlers so timing bytes aren't filtered out; getting into other 
programming venues. 

Good luck.
