(or redistributed by) the MIDI Timepiece AV itself 
to other devices, create a connection from the 
Transport Out icon to the desired devices as shown 
below in Figure 10-10. This connection is not 
necessary, however, if you intend to send MMC 
transport commands directly from computer 
software (or a MMC hardware device) to a MMC 
device.

Transport In and Transport Out icon connections 
only involve MMC transport commands; they do 
not route MMC record functions, such as record-
enable or auto punch-in/out. To route MMC 
record functions, make connections between the 
MIDI Routing Window’s MIDI ports and 
computer icon as needed.

It is not necessary to connect the Transport Out 
icon to either ADAT icon; MIDI Timepiece AV 
control over ADATs connected to its ADAT Sync 
Out icon is “hard-wired” and therefore not 
represented graphically in the MIDI Routing 
window.

Figure 10-10: When you want to control other MMC devices with the
MIDI Timepiece AV, or if you want the MIDI Timepiece AV to redistrib-
ute MMC transport commands from your sequencer or an Alesis LRC,
connect the Transport Out icon to any devices you wish to control.
Note that these MMC connections involve MMC transpor t
commands only. For MMC record functions (play-enable, punch-in,
etc.), use the regular MIDI routings and, for MMC software, use the
appropriate Windows MIDI driver output ports.

Routing MMC to the MTP AV

The Transport In icon in the MIDI Routing 
window represents MIDI Machine Control input to 
the MIDI Timepiece AV itself. In other words, the 
MIDI Timepiece AV “listens” to MMC transport 
commands from any devices (or computer 
software) connected to this icon.

For MMC transport control of the AV from the 
computer, enable the 

transport master

 option as 

shown Figure 10-18 on page 98. Doing so makes 
the MIDI Timepiece AV follow MMC transport 
commands sent from software.

Connecting a MMC controller to the MTP AV

If you would like to control the MIDI 
Timepiece AV from a MMC controller connected 
to one of the MIDI Timepiece AV’s MIDI inputs, 
connect the device’s input cable to the Transport In 
icon as demonstrated below in Figure 10-11.

Figure 10-11: To control the MIDI Timepiece AV from a MMC control-
ler such as JLCooper’s CuePoint, connect the device to the Transport
In icon as shown here.

☛

The Alesis LRC controller is an exception: it 

does not require any routing in the MIDI Routing 
window because of its special connection to the 
LRC Input on the MIDI Timepiece AV’s front
