Midi Sync OutPut ::: type "Song" : Which is the format ????

Post by miguelvb » Tue Jan 24, 2012 11:42 am

Hi,

I am programming to sync my c++ application with Ableton Live, using the preference panel, and configuring sync in output with Midi Clock type set to "Song".

Doing this, i receive midi messages, with status 0xF0 (240) each Midi clock time (1/24 th of a quarter note) .
Messages are sent to channels 11 (play) , 13 (midi clock 1/24th qN ) , 3 (pause) or 9 (stop and rewind).

I can see that byteOne from the message is changing while playing and the higher numbers depend on tempo. So my question is this:

which is the format that Live is sending through this midi message?
can i get the tempo or bar/beat/tick number with this message?

thank you !!!
