if you have more than one MIDI port, then you should probably
click on the button in the <guilabel>MMC</guilabel> column for the
port you plan where MMC will be received. This is not required,
but many devices that send MTC also send MIDI Machine Control
commands and may not be able to control Ardour correctly unless
Ardour is also responding to MMC.

To test that Ardour is now slaved, press the
<guibutton>Play</guibutton> button on the MTC master, or some other
action that will cause it to start transmitting MTC. Ardour should
jump to the position indicated by incoming MTC, and start playing.
Press <guibutton>Stop</guibutton> on the master (or do some other
action that will cause the master to stop sending MTC) and Ardour
should stop at the precise time indicated by the master.
