The timebase
master is not needed unless extended position information
like counting beats, timecode, etc. is required. Seq24 does not have
any of those extended features.
i dont think that is correct.
seq24 does not work without a timebase master.
(either it must be the timebase master itself, or ardour for example
must be running. seq24 is not calculating the beat information based
on transport frames, which are the only transport information available,
without a master.)
You're right and I read inaccurately. There always is a timebase master -
either jackd or a client
Regarding netjack there is a master machine and a slave machine.
Transport control requests may come from any client on the master
machine.
yes. but without a timebase master on the slave machine seq24 hangs.
even when transport is running.
are you one of the new devs ?
By far not, just a user.
Probably i'll just read a bit more in order to really understand
jack transport design, thanks.
best,
