Midi Time code

I am looking for an easy/ cheap way of controlling the congo using the MTC functions. Does anyone have an idea for a cheap way of syncing a CD deck or PC with cd playback to the Congo Jr using midi cables? The cheapest CD deck i can find with that kind of functionality is around $800. My theater is predominatly a Dance venue so this function will be extremely valuable. Thank you.

I recently used MIDI to control a light show I did for class and I used a USB MIDI controller connected to my laptop. Sound forge generated the timecode and I used a similar process as Richard. I didn't use the learn option, I just pulled timestamps from the sound file.

If you are going to use Sound Forge, you will need to play around with the MIDI options (found under options>MIDI IN/Out) The link you have looks to be the same hardware i used. I would definitely check out MIDI OX, it sounds interesting.

Good luck
