The latest firmware update adds MIDI Timecode (MTC) functionality over USB for all SYNC E mk2 devices. MTC can now be used with any Digital Audio Workstation (e.g., Logic Pro, ProTools) to receive timecode via MIDI.
The USB MIDI interface is class-compliant, ensuring it works with any operating system (iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux) without the need for additional drivers.
