grandMA3 onPC timecode workflows

Published July 8, 2026

Article goal: Explain the practical reason LTC-to-MTC conversion can matter in MA3 onPC workflows.

The setup problem

Some PC-based show-control systems and setups do not have the same physical LTC input hardware available as larger or more expensive console configurations.

What is actually happening

If the system can follow MIDI Timecode but does not have a convenient LTC input path, the workflow needs reliable LTC-to-MTC conversion and clear routing.

How DuckTC fits

DuckTC receives LTC from an audio interface, shows the waveform and sync state, converts to MTC, and routes the result through DuckPort MIDI.
