Triggering from MIDI Timecode

From the Options menu, choose MIDI In/Out, and then choose Trigger from MIDI Timecode from the submenu if you want to trigger playback or recording by receiving timecode from another device.

When this option is selected, dialogs that specify MIDI triggers will also accept input from the MIDI input port, allowing easy entry of MIDI note and controller values. When this option is not selected, the MIDI triggers, Regions List triggers, and Playlist triggers specified will be ignored.

You can specify a MIDI Input port on the MIDI/Sync tab in the Preferences dialog.
