Is it possible to modify this patch and use MTC QUARTER FRAME instead of TIMING CLOCK ?
Could this make the patch more precise in calculating the Tempo?

yes but you have to deal with sysex....

So that implies (because of sysex being non-standard for every hardware ) , MTC does not have a general purpose implementation?

I certainly thought that MTC was standardized....
is it that it's not in the typical format for midi messages??

MTC is defined as a "Universal System Exclusive Message". These are extensions to the MIDI standard - technically SysEx, but not connected to any particular manufacturer or device. Check out the
MIDI messages table.
[edit]
Oooops!!!
Just browsed some more, and the MTC Quarter Frame message is
not SysEx, although "normal" MTC is. Found a description
here.
For syncing up stuff in "sequencer/beat box fashion", I doubt that MTC QF is better than clock ticks. For video work - editing and stuff like that - it seems like a much better idea.
