Hey, Simon! Not sure if someone has already posted this or the info got around to you yet, but I recently found a link from a Reddit post about an official universal ASIO driver coming to Windows in 2025: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/windows-music-dev/making-music-on-windows/ I don't know too muc...

Hey HappyClocker, and hi all :) Thank you all so much for commenting here, it really helps giving an idea of what kind of setup you guys are using! :D You've all made it pretty clear that we should find a solution to get U-SYNC to work on Windows, in fact we started developping two different ideas ...

Sadness.

I'm so rarely jealous of people using Macs, but this is one of those times. I've been using Windows since v 3.1. And, while I use a Mac everyday for work, I'm not switching my music computer away from Windows.

I'm actually pretty excited for the "combined" 24P/2.4.P. mode, as this (if I understand correctly) allows for immediate start upon receiving pulses (like 2.4.P. always did) and also us Midronome as master clock when you're not sending it pulses form your DAW (like 24P always did). Previo...

Fantastic!

Thanks for continuing with this labor of love, Simon.

A feature request: the ability to enable "steady clock" when using the new plugin to smooth out multiple rapid clock changes. I had my CPU unexpectedly max out doing something in the background and it of course caused a lot of popping and clicking in my DAW - and it freaked the F out of t...

Love the updates that keep coming - Midronome is a great product and only getting better! A feature request: the ability to enable "steady clock" when using the new plugin to smooth out multiple rapid clock changes. I had my CPU unexpectedly max out doing something in the background and it...

Unfortunately, the sync tool has the same issue. I’ve tried lots of combos of interface mixer volumes and DAW volumes to no avail. Right now the only sync that works- and it does work - is to use the ARA plugin set to sync when playing. That way it syncs from the Midronome when stopped and is synche...

Whew. If it’s yellow and yellow is good, then I think it’s good in that regard.

However, I still have the issue of if I stop playing the DAW, the bpm drifts. So I have to set the plugin to only send when the DAW is playing. That way it only drifts for a moment when the DAW stops.

FYI re Studio One 6.2 - easier to apply Event FX than before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ8H2wazgaE

Hi Simon (and community) I've adjusted the Midronome per the videos and documentation to be "in the middle" between the LED changing to red and just turning off. For me this is -4.5 in the DAW. I'm currently just trying to use the pre-generated sync file in Studio 1 6.2.1 on Win11. I've at...

How did you set up S1 Pro 6? I did what was shown in the video (I've been using the sync file generator and using the DAW Pipeline plugin to route the audio to the Midronome via an output on my interface) and can't get it to show as an ARA plugin in the DAW - I always get the not an ARA plugin erro...

Thought I'd go ahead and report from admittedly very limited time to play with it this weekend (and bear in mind, I'm far from highly experienced in DAW usage, still). Watching the video with quite a few pauses and rewinds, and trying to get to the right sections in Studio One (they are often hidde...

i agree that this would be more pratical... i just tried tio use ableton/push and midronome but it is too much tricky for me. i use ableton live/push as principal 'remote' of the system and i think that 'as it is' the midronome is not the good tool. it is i think at his good place with hardware-seq...

A competitor of sorts (same space but more focused on modular overall) has arrived. Rather different philosophies on display when looking at the hardware.

Thanks for the additional information. That Arturia Anti-ground loop adapter bundled with the keystep 37 seems interesting. Too bad they're not selling it as a spare part. Greetings, Olivier The Keystep 37 adapter works well - plus, by having the Midronome connected to the computer, it will also po...

Seems like, during testing, that some capacity testing would need to be done to get an idea of just how much other MIDI data can flow through each port without disturbing the clock. This'll surely be asked, otherwise. Automation of many parameters of a DAW VST editor out to one or more synths would ...

Am I using the wrong type of cable? Is there a way to reduce the "noise" on the Midronome side to just the clock pulses? Hi Dave Yes that's unfortunately true, it's caused by a ground loop, which makes the Midronome's display noise take the wrong path. Basically that noise should be on th...

I connected the CV out to my Erica Synths Acidbox 3 CTRL IN port in order to sync the Acidbox 3 LFO. However, the connection generates a lot of noise. It's like the AB3 not Midronome, but.... I have a MIDI2CV device that I send quarter notes to from the DAW that converts it to a gate pulse, which al...

I think converting a file from 48 to 96 is done pretty well by DAWs, isn't it? I would guess they basically double each sample? If that's the case then yea it should just work. Have you tried? Thanks! I haven't tried yet. It's a bit of a small project to disconnect the USAMO and replace it with the...

I see the sync file generator can only output 44 and 48khz files. Will these work at 96khz or do I need to wait for an update? Thanks!

Can the bpm of the sync file be included in the file name? That way, if I choose to generate a bunch of 7 min sync files for the bpms I most commonly use (until the plugin exists for Studio One :D ) it's easy to keep them in a directory and just grab the right one. Which bring to mind another featur...

You all make a very good point about the plugin - practicability is important I get that. But the reason for all these (empty space at the beginning, at the end, using a WAV file instead of a plugin), are because from my experiments DAWs have the habits of often sending not the audio that is writte...

Hi. Is anyone in the US willing to say how long shipping took? I received the notice 11 days ago, and the non-descriptive shipper web site says it’s been on a flight for 4 days. Just wondering at what point I should be concerned. Thanks!

Hi, I've generated a sync file and have it outputting from Logic directly into the input of the Midronome. Normally, from what I gather, I'm supposed to see lights: either green or red, to adjust the input level with the SYn on? No lights come on and It won't sync. Any help here would be greatly ap...

That's awesome to know Dave thank you so much :) I guess unless you really flood the MIDI merger with MIDI data, then yes the MIDI Clock messages should not move too much, or at least not enough so you can notice it - so that makes sense ;) To be specific, I have a Kenton MIDI Merge 4 going into a ...

Thanks, Simon!
