Description

This Max for Live device generates Linear Timecode (LTC) in real time inside Ableton Live, without the need for bulky pre-recorded LTC audio files.

The generated timecode can be driven by:

- Clips whose names specify timecode markers (for example: 2m15s, 5h, 15h25m30s15f)

- The position of Live’s playback head

- The system clock

In modes 1 and 2, the device jams the timecode when playback starts and automatically retriggers whenever a jump in the timeline is detected. This guarantees a continuous and reliable LTC signal, even when looping or moving around in the Arrangement View.

Important notes:

- Because of Live API limitations, the device assumes a constant tempo while playing. BPM automation during playback is not supported.

- For best results, set your audio buffer size between 32 and 128 samples.

- Only non-drop-frame (NDF) frame rates are currently supported (29.97 fps is not yet available).
