Hello all,
We're pleased to announce the release of a new version of jackctlmmc
and a new Qt based graphical version called QJackMMC. The main page
including download links and documentation is here:
http://jackctlmmc.sourceforge.net/
In brief, QJackMMC is a Qt based program that can connect to a device
or program that emits Midi Machine Code (MMC) and allow it to drive
JACK transport, which in turn can control other programs. JackCtlMMC
is a slightly simpler command-line version of QJackMMC. You might need
such a tool if you have hard-disk recorders (HDRs) or other external
MIDI compliant devices that are capable of sending out MMC to keep
other devices in sync. You might have a multi-track recorder and you
want to be able to start, stop, or fast-forward JACK-based programs
such as Rosegarden, Hydrogen, and Ardour.
Enjoy,
-- Alex
