How do I use MIDI transport controls (MTC/MMC) with Mixbus?

These functions are provided by the Ardour workstation on which Mixbus is based.

You can see the various MIDI ports, and control their operation, in Windows->Preferences->MIDI.

You will need to use an OSX "midi router" such as http://notahat.com/midi_patchbay to connect from your MIDI inter- face to the ports of Mixbus.

To receive simple MMC transport commands from an external device, enable Options->Sync->Use MMC and con- nect your device to Ardour's "control" input port.

To use Mixbus as an MTC master, enable Options->Sync->Send MMC, and connect your device to Ardour's "control" output port. Normally you will want the digital recorder/player (Mixbus) to be the sync Master. If you want Mixbus to act as an MTC slave, route your MTC signal into the Ardour "control" port. Then switch Ardour's sync source to "MTC" at the top of the edit window next to the main clock.
