![]() ![]() Also, the tempo in free wheeling mode drifts very quickly from the actual clock, so this is not a fix. You could activate free wheeling mode, but once that mode takes over, you need to stop the clock in order for it to latch on again. Since it uses an output from your soundcard, soloing a channel in your DAW effectively mutes the clock output, which stops the clock. Syncing to a DAW (Ableton in this case) proved more successful, but this has its problems as well. ![]() Definitely not going to use this one live !! Sometimes they would stay together for a while, but nudging the swing or delay would put everyting out of sync. In standalone mode, the machines drift wildly out of sync with each other, fall out of sync, it's a complete and utter mess and impossible to deal with. The setup includes a 909 in din sync mode, a Tempest, a pocket piano and an Elektron AR. If it’s “beta testing for new bonus features” i don’t see nothing wrong with that, its actually exciting, surprising and a good sign for a company that support and stand behind their products.Well, it looks like I might be the only one here with a pretty bad experience with this clock, at least in stand alone mode. if you buy something based on feature not yet exist its on you. its a juvenile behaviour but than again most of people complaint here can be explained by “juvenile behaviour” □ some brands just know they need to treat costumers like delicate spoiled kids and it works fine for them, but than again kids will complain even if the parents could do a “perfect job”. Maybe some of the problem is in the adverting that promised thing that are not yet ready but i think the issue is mostly with the buyers who must buy the newest they can’t wait to fulfil their satisfaction and then complain they need to wait to something “promised” to them. So the transition audio -> clock definitely does not add any jitter or latency (other than the electrical signals characteristics like slopes and voltage level detection… But that’s starting to be way too technical □ ). The Midronome basically takes that signal and transforms it instantly into the MIDI Clock it outputs, also without any software involved. I remember hearing about it from the testers who often had drifting issues and similar before the Midronome, issues which all disappeared simply by changing the master clock.Īnd as for the “sample accurate” wording, that comes from the fact that the audio sync signal sent by the DAW is as precise as the sample clock (worldclock), and the MIDI Clock as precise as this audio sync signal. And yes youøre right the receiving devices have their own jitter/latency, but this is out of the Midronome’s control □ It just sends the best jitter-free clock it can, what the devices do with that is hard to tell since it will be different from one device to another.īut in practice it does help overall (makes sense – the receiving devices probably prefer a steady clock generally). Well I basically just measure the actual MIDI output directly, with a signal analyzer. Note that crowdfunded projects can involve risk, which is documented as part of the project. Midronome production is being funded via a Kickstarter project and is available to project backers for about $145 USD.
