Unlike standard SMPTE timecode, the eight-message MIDI timecode sequence carries a two-bit flag value that identifies the rate of the timecode, specifying it as either:
MTC allows the synchronisation of a sequencer or DAW with other devices that can synchronise to MTC or for these devices to 'slave' to a tape machine that is striped with SMPTE. For this to happen a SMPTE to MTC converter needs to be employed. Please note that it is possible for a tape machine to synchronise to an MTC signal (if converted to SMPTE), if the tape machine is able to 'slave' to incoming timecode via motor control, which is a rare feature.
