MIDI timecode: Standards, Time code format & Overview

MIDI time code (MTC), previously known as MSMPTE, was adopted by the MIDI Manufacturer's Association in 1986, modifided, and re-approved in February 1987. The MIDI association gave Chris Meyer a lifetime achievement award in 2025, covering his work on this and other MIDI standards (MMC, MIDI scene control).
