How to set Logic to act as a slave using MTC?

Hi,

I have the same exact issue as the one described in this topic:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251125436

with the difference that I'm using Tascam DP-24 with MIDI ports. I managed to set Logic to listen to MMC coming from the Tascam but when trying to sync using MTC, Logic's playback positions jumps to [- 8 1 1 1] and can't move anywhere. Is there any way to do it? Apparently Logic doesn't support slaving to MIDI clock but MTC should work

In Logic's Project Settings/Synchronization Logic sets the default SMPTE/MTC time to 1 hour set it to 00:00:00:00:00 and it will be reflected as such in the transport.

It looks like Logic wants to start before your project is starting. What if you set the start time of the project to 00:00:00:00.00 ?

Thank you @Pancenter! It worked, I still have some delay between Tascam and Logic but scrolling on Tascam is now reflected in Logic. Awesome, if anyone encounters this issue, below are my settings in Logic
