FA-81520 / MIDI event timing / Member archive

SMPTE time-division ticks to microseconds: event times rounded to nearest microsecond · case 05

About half of all sub-frame tick positions are reported one microsecond later than the stipulated floored time.

Case contract

Input [division_high_byte, ticks_per_frame, ticks]. The high byte is a negative frame-rate code in two's complement: 24, 25, 29 (meaning 30000/1001 frames per second) or 30. Microseconds = ticks * 1000000 / (rate * ticks_per_frame), floored once. Invalid codes, non-positive ticks per frame or negative ticks return None.

Why this case matters

MIDI sequencers, file readers and synth drivers depend on exact event ordering and tick/time arithmetic.
