Lockstep: LTC Synchronization, No Hardware Needed

Simplify your rigs.

Lockstep allows you to sync your computer to incoming timecode, without expensive hardware. And unlike some devices that only work with proprietary software, Lockstep generates MIDI timecode for any MTC-enabled sequencer.

Sync simplicity.

Lockstep does one thing, and does it well: translate Linear Timecode (LTC) into MIDI Timecode (MTC). Based on the same timecode-reading engine that powers QLab's LTC synchronization, Lockstep listens for timecode on any audio input you specify, then generates a stream of MIDI timecode to match. Outgoing MIDI messages are timestamped for precise timing, and are sent to Lockstep's virtual MIDI output as well as any MIDI port you choose.
