MIDI - Time Code
Every sequence step can be triggered both manually, and by a specific MIDI Time Code time
on the MIDI port.
In the Sequence Editor, this time can be set or edited in a column to the far right. It is
possible to enter a time code timestamp for each sequence step. When the specific time
code position is reached, the sequence step will be executed providing Time Code is set to
on. See
System Settings - MIDI .
• Time Code is edited from the keyboard (display or external) in all Congo consoles. In
the bigger Congo it can be edited from the numerical console keypad as well.
• If there is MIDI Time Code coming into the system, the running time will be shown on
top of the monitor instead of the normal date and time.
Manual and Time Code trig
You can combine sequence steps with Time Code times with normal manual or automatic
crossfade. The Time Code time is just an additional trigger that can activate a sequence
step. If there is a problem with the MIDI Time Code input, you can always start the crossfade
by pressing GO.
Time Code On/Off
There is an overall parameter "Read MIDI Time Code" that switches on or off time code in
general. See
System Settings - MIDI .
Time Code Format
Time code must be entered in this format: hh.mm.ss.ff.
Time code is shown in the Playback view like this
Learn mode
Each time GO is pressed, the current time code timestamp will be recorded in the current
sequence step. See
System Settings - MIDI .
Trig in B or Auto Mode
Normally, only Sequence steps that are in the B field will be triggered by incoming MIDI Time
Code. Other Steps will not be trigged, even if the times match.
It is also possible to run the system so that any Sequence Step matching a specific Time
Code time is run automatically regardless if it is in the B field or not.If the "Auto- locate step"
parameter is set to "On", any step that is matching the incoming MIDI Time Code will be
executed. See
System Settings - MIDI .
