MIDI - Time Code
Every sequence step can be triggered both manually, and by a specific MIDI Time Code time on the
MIDI port.
In the Sequence Editor, this time can be set or edited in a column to the far right. It is possible to enter
a time code timestamp for each sequence step. When the specific time code position is reached, the
sequence step will be executed providing Time Code is set to on. See
System Settings - MIDI .
• Time Code is edited from the keyboard (display or external) in all Cobalt consoles. In the
bigger Cobalt it can be edited from the numerical console keypad as well.
• If there is MIDI Time Code coming into the system, the running time will be shown on top of
the monitor instead of the normal date and time.
Manual and Time Code trig
You can combine sequence steps with Time Code times with normal manual or automatic crossfade.
The Time Code time is just an additional trigger that can activate a sequence step. If there is a problem
with the MIDI Time Code input, you can always start the crossfade by pressing GO.
Time Code On/Off
There is an overall parameter "Read MIDI Time Code" that switches on or off time code in general.

System Settings - MIDI .
