+You can now use this as timecode source to sync cuelists to music coming from Reaper.
 I noticed a gap between the timestamps in Reaper and in Titan. This seems to be due to both, Reaper, as well as Titan/USB Expert, and needs to be investigated further.
+==== - How to debug ====
+If things do not work as expected then there are some tools which help finding the fault:
+=== - loopMIDI ===
+loopMIDI shows the number of transmitted data. This number increases with every command, note or message. With timecode, this number increases continuously and rather fast.
+{{:external:examples:debug_loopmidi.png|}}
+=== - USB Expert Console ===
+Open the USB Expert Console. This must show loopMIDI Port 1 as connected panel (top-left). Select the ''MIDI'' tab top-right, click ''Watch MIDI'', in the MIDI watcher window select MIDI Input and Raw MIDI. Now, as you send a command, it is shown in the MIDI watcher, with continuously incoming data like this:

+Additionally, on the Timecode tab (top-right), you should see the real timecode values running:

+=== - MIDI-OX ===
+Install and launch MIDI-OX (see [[external:software_list|]]. From the Options menu select ''MIDI Devices''. Make sure loopMIDI Port is listed as MIDI Input but isn't mapped to any output (yes, you can create a feedback loop, and yes, you do not want to do this...)

+From the View menu select ''Input Monitor...''. In this window, all incoming MIDI data are shown. You will see the cpntinuous stream of MTC Quarter Freame messages:
