MIDI Time Code monitor

What would be the best way to go about creating a BS2 program that would monitor an incoming MIDI time code signal and display the time (hh[noparse]:mm:[/noparse]ss:fr) on a MAX7219 with 8 7-segments displays? I know I would have to use either serin, or shiftin, but I am not sure how that time code data is set up. If anyone knows anything about MIDI, that would be great. Thank you,
Marcus

    You would have use use SERIN to receive the packets, then display them any way you want. Beware, however, that the BASIC Stamp doesn't have an input buffer so you'll probably want to use WAIT to get the proper start of the packet, then take in the number of bytes required. I've only done MIDI out with the BASIC Stamp, so I don't know what else to offer.
