Ahh, that's nice to hear - that was an easy one! :)) No you will still need MIDI over USB if you want to send MIDI notes for example to your devices through the Midronome. The only conflict here was sending MIDI Clock to the Midronome. The MIDI Clock messages are actually ignored by the Midronome, b...

Hi Jonny

Your topic is a duplicate of viewtopic.php?t=411

I'm closing this one, you can continue the discussion there

Hi

Can you check you are not sending MIDI Start or MIDI Clock to the Midronome over USB (to "Midronome Commands")?
That would create this type of strange behavior.

Simon

Do you think this is something that will roll out relatively soon in the next small patch or firmware update? Hi Rob :) Yes I understand, that does not sound fun. How would you imagine this feature should work in practice? How often would you need to switch the clock on/off? My idea was a setting &...

(moving this topic to the right category )

Hi Victor! Well that's amazing news, thanks for sharing, that will definitely be useful for anyone who has the issue :) As to why this is happening, well the only way another software can interfere with U-SYNC is by sending some audio to the "Midronome-do-not-use" audio interface. Maybe th...

Hi Jonathan, thanks for writing here. Can you please look at the display and the "PLAY" button LED when you press play: does the display show "PLA" and does the play button LED turn on? And is the "Locked" LED on when the DAW is playing? Compare these between Ableton an...

Alright very strange, never seen an issue like this except during conflicts after upgrading from beta to final 1.0 - but then a cleanup always solved it. Sorry you have to experience this, but I am sure we will get to the bottom of it! I changed the sample rate both on the DAW as well as the setting...

Actually - just one simple test: on the device, press the "SETUP" button and the Locked LED should blink slowly
If this works at least we know the Locked LED does work and has not died or something.

I haven't touched the device since setting up with the beta VST + firmware 2.9.0 but might be a good sanity check :) Well the FW should definitely be updated to 3.0 but you said you did that already? You'll need the Firmware Updater software + the FW 3.0 file - see https://simntonic.com/support/ Ch...

Ok, interesting! Then I'd say there is nothing wrong with the installation, that part seems checked. Clearly the problem is the communication between the Daemon and the Midronome, since the Daemon says it can find the Midronome, it probably "thinks" it is sending data to it but my guess is...

Hi Victor - thanks for writing here :) This does sound strange indeed. Are you sure you uninstalled the beta version correctly, including the Daemon ? Using the beta daemon with the 1.0 VST would in fact give those kind of weird behaviors. The Locked LED on the plugin should always match the Locked ...

Very good point
I agree - those adapters will keep the same red color - it would not match with the rest of the device anyways

Yes for now all firmware updates will come for both devices. At some point Nome I (Midronome) will start to be outphased. But don't worry, not anytime soon, and it will be a slow process, and I will make sure to warn you at least 6 or 12 months before the end of support. And who knows by that point ...

Just as a reference, and for those of you who are not on the Facebook group, I am going to copy-paste here my long post from the Facebook Group "Sim'n Tonic Community": As you have seen already there are two new names around: the Sim'n Tonic brand and a new device called Nome II. What does...

He he thanks!!

Hi, and thank you :) About the differences, not really. The only things are: The Nome II can do more with lights since each button has a multicolor LED underneath. The add-on module interface has changed - the idea is to release add-ons that will only work with the new interface, and to provide an a...

Hi :) Have you checked this topic? https://forum.midronome.com/viewtopic.php?t=406 I already verified that the PC are sent correctly by the device. In the case above the problem was that they were never received, or they were received on the wrong USB-MIDI interface. And yes, same as you, the CC mes...

Well an ETA for start of FW 4.0 dev should be middle of November, maybe a bit before. Then for release I am sorry, I cannot give an ETA until I've started working on the smart tap tempo as it might be a bit of a challenge. The other features should go quite fast and I'll do them first. If the tap te...

Hi Johnny

Yes that should work perfectly fine - I do it regularly.
No benefits or disadvantages, it's just converting the plug, at the signal level everything is the same

Simon

I know, there has been many delays. Major causes are U-SYNC for Windows and the new batch which is not only a batch but a new revision of everything including new branding ("Nome II"...), so lots to do there.

Plan is to get started on Firmware 4.0 as soon as the new batch is ready

Amazing, very glad to hear! Thank you for the update!

Hi - as I have mentioned on the Facebook group, and being fully transparent here: U-SYNC for Windows might just never be a reality. We are doing everything we can, but the whole concept is to build precision software on the audio and underlying drivers layer of Windows, which in all honesty is unrel...

Well, I thought the port for cc messages is not the same as for other MIDI info that should be forwarded? It's definitely the same USB-MIDI interface that is used, either the second one "MIDI Out 1" or the third one "MIDI Out 2" depending on which physical DIN port you want to f...

I doubt it is a problem with Android since it works with CC messages and not PC messages. It must be something with BH. Also the fact that it crashes is a good point to bring to their support...

However, as already pointed by some in the forum, as soon as you try to change the bpm slightly away from the original bpm of the sync track, it doesn't work at all. Midronome (surprisingly) gets the original bpm (120) even when Ableton was speeded up to 125, so both decouple sync to disaster. Hi :...

I see. But am I correct that the CC messages are working while the PC are not? If so I would really contact BH as they might be able to see something in their code. Mention to them that the issue is probably related to the fact that there are more than 1 pair of MIDI-USB interfaces.
Simon

Nice progress :) So you're saying that BH is sending MIDI CC messages to the Midronome, but not PC messages? If so, then yes my guess is that they are sent to the wrong USB-MIDI interface. Remember you have 3 interfaces: "Commands", "MIDI Out 1", "MIDI Out 2". If you se...
