How to configure Source-Connect Studio/Facility to send RTS via MTC and Logic Pro to send MTC
Follow the instructions below:
- In Source-Connect, click the “Send” button - it will turn blue.
- In “TIME REFERENCE INPUT”, select “MTC” and “Logic Pro Virtual Out” as your input device.
- Select the appropriate FPS for your Logic Pro setting. By default, all projects will be set to 25FPS.
- On Logic Pro, go to Settings > MIDI.
- Under “Inputs”, make sure that at least “Logic Pro Virtual In” is checked. You might have other inputs (as in the screenshot below), but you will want to use the native Logic one.
- In Logic, switch to the “Sync” tab. Configure the MIDI output delay, pickup delay, and other settings you might want to customize.
- In the “Sync” menu, click “MIDI Sync Project Settings”. By default, you will see Synchronization > MIDI open up. Check the “Clock” box and the “MTC” boxes if you want to send timecode in MTC. Make sure you select the clock mode you want - you can find more information on each clock mode in the Logic knowledge base.
- On the Logic main screen, click the dropdown arrow to chang the Display Mode to “Time”:
- Connect to your connection partner.
- Play the timecode in Logic Pro.

The talent (Eveline, who is on Source-Connect Talent) is receiving the timecode:
