Hey!
I`m having a problem on a new PT session I`m working on. After going into song mode on the MPC, then converting the song into a sequence (160 bars long), it will not sync anymore. I`m using MTC (can`t use clock due to some other issues).
When I press play on Pro Tools, the MPC jumps to the last bar and doesn`t play. The original sequences that are 8 bars long sync without any problem. Also if I open a different Pro tools session, the 160 bars long sequence will play perfectly along.
I reckon it`s a problem with PT, but maybe someone here in the forum knows what it is? :)
Thanks!

Check...

You can set the start time of the sequence or song when synchronizing with MTC.

Move the cursor to the Now: field in the Main or Song Screen and press OPEN WINDOW to display the following window.

......................................................................................................
Time Display
Display style: BAR,BEAT,CLOCK
Start time: 00h00m00s00f00
Frame rate: 25

......................................................................................................

Start time: The playback starts when the time code set here is received.
Frame rate: Sets the frame rate of the time code


...against the Pro Tools Session Start time and Timecode Rate in the Session Setup window.
