Hi :)

Thanks for asking here. If you can give us more information on what's happening it would help a lot.

My first thought: is your device upgraded to FW 3.0?

If so, could you please try the following:
  • Unplug your Midronome
  • Open the Audio MIDI Setup, in the MIDI Devices window, delete anything with "Nome", "Midronome", or "Nome II" in its name
  • Stop the U-SYNC Daemon completely, close your DAW
  • Start the Daemon and plug the Midronome
  • Check the Daemon status to see if it says "Midronome connected" -> if not then please check there is an audio device called "Midronome-do-not-use" in the Audio MIDI Setup
  • If it says "connected" simply start your DAW, load the U-SYNC plugin and it should work
Let me know how it goes!

Cheers
Simon

Hi Simon thank you for the fast reply on my post.


I tried to use the bootloader it looks as if it has worked but i cant check it because if i want to use it again to check the current FW, bootloader 1 doesnt do anything.

i Use an Mac M1 with sonoma, i would try to do it on a windows laptop.
But maybe you can tell me how i can check which FW is on the Midronome

So i tried a second try to use the bootloader. i used an old windows laptop and it worked the bootloader was sucessfull.

i follow the instruction you send befor but nothing happen.

The it feels like when the plugin is connected to the midronome Daemon they dont accept the midronome hardware, otherwise if the hardware is connected they dont accept the software Midronome Daemon.

Sometimes, Midronome Daemon accepts the hardware connection, but I can't pinpoint the exact circumstances under which the software does this
same with the Plugin in Ableton

As information

Midronome is Updated with the bootloader on you website.
I use an Mac Pro M1 with Sonoma 14.6.1
DAW is Ableton.

On Midi Audio Setup befor your instruction there was midronome and nome 2 i deleted all and now only nome 2 is there.
And in the Audio Setup there is and Midronome do not use device

Hi Firat

So this was an actual bug - really sorry about that!
It is fixed in version 1.0.1 of the U-SYNC software.

You can install U-SYNC software version 1.0.1 from this link: https://download.simntonic.com/software ... -1.0.1.pkg
You can install it on top of the current version, it should upgrade it smoothly.

​​Let me know if this works - thank you!

Hey Simon,

so i tried to sync a octatrack to the midronome
Midronome Daemon is now showing the Hardware and Plugin as connected
in the Plugin the light is green seems to be everything is okay.
The Midronome is showing the orange Locked led and the input is switched to Sync
when i am starting the DAW and push the play button the midronome doesnt react,

please correct me if iam Wrong

to use the midronome with Usync the only connection is USB and to send the clock signal to a synth Midi 1 & 2
no audio input and no audio output? like the old vst versions

hope you can help me

Yes you only need USB. The "Locked" LED on both the physical device and the DAW plugin should light up orange when you press play.
Is it not the case?

If it is, then all is good and the reason your Octotrack does not track automatically is because you have not set the "autoplay" ("A.PL" setting must be set to "on").

If you still have issues please try disabling the Overbridge stuff on your computer as it may interfere with U-SYNC.

Same issue here. I've updated everything to the absolute latest (firmware, bootloader, and USYNC.) Am on Sonoma 14.4 running Ableton Live 11 Suite. Also deleted all the old Midi configs from old versions of midronome as suggested earlier in this thread. Anything I'm missing?
Weirdly, when i try to start usync daemon, nothing happens - should i be seeing something up in my menu bar or an application open or is 100% background? It shows up in Search when i hit command/space, but nothing happens when I hit enter. Activity monitor shows USync daemon is running.

I don't thing this is related to Firat's issue, his was an actual bug in version 1.0.0 which was fixed in 1.0.1.

The Daemon is running in the background, but you should see the "SnT" icon at the top right of your screen. If you do not, please try the following:

* Try to uninstall the daemon and reinstall it again, then start the daemon again
* If you still do not see the SnT icon, please try to open the terminal and copy-paste the following in the prompt and press Enter:

Code: Select all

/Applications/U-SYNC\ Daemon.app/Contents/MacOS/U-SYNC\ Daemon
Then see if you get any error or anything. If it works, you will see nothing in the terminal, and you will not get the prompt back (it will just write a new line as you press Enter and nothing else).

If the daemon is started, then click the icon to see if it detects any device - maybe you need to upgrade its firmware.

Let us know how it goes :)
