New competition for Midronome

[Dave]

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

Wow, amazing

Thanks so much for letting me know! I know Joe we spoke a few times on the gearspace forums. Really nice guy, and makes great gear from what I can see
I checked a few things about the ClockStep Multi and the first thing to say is that he's much better than me at making videos

Regarding the device, I am really looking forward to hearing what people say about it - feel free to comment on this post as well!
I know the feedback on the Clock Step (previous model) was already quite positive, this one looks fancier, the colored buttons is a really nice touch

IMHO, the biggest down though is the lack of a screen, even a small one - because writing everything on colored buttons sounds a bit difficult

For those interested, Pete Kvitek's MidiGAL (an enhanced Mutable Instruments MIDIPal clone) has a great MIDI Clock tester, generator and fixer firmware.

A MIDI Clock fixing mode could be an interesting improvement for the Midronome firmware, by sampling and correcting a sluggish USB MIDI clock:

In MIDI Clock Generator mode, MidiClk generates super stable MIDI clock with BPM selected by the encoder or measured by sampling MIDI Clock events received on MIDI IN.
