Overview

Name \| Version:	LTC Generator 1.2
Author:	jensp
Device Type:	Instrument
Description:	This Max for Live device generates Linear Timecode (LTC) directly inside Ableton Live, without relying on pre-recorded audio files. It can output LTC based on: - The playback head position - Arrangement clips whose names define timecode anchors (eg. "TC=2m15s", "TC=5h") - The system clock Modes 1 and 2 generate LTC by jamming at playback start, and automatically retrigger whenever the frame rate, session BPM, or timecode offset changes, or when a playback jump is detected. This ensures a continuous and reliable LTC signal, even when using loops or jumping around on the timeline. Notes: - For now it'll only work with clips in the arrangement mode. I'll add support for session view clips soon. - The first two modes can't handle BPM automation while TC is running, only fixed BPMs. - Only NDF framerates for now, no 29.97FPS. - The timing is frame-accurate but not sample-accurate.
