Hey,
I would be amazing if Nome 2 could count the midi Signals and work this you Can count Bars in different lenghts.

We Play as a band an sometimes we lose each other during the sessions….nome 2 Can give is an orientation at which Slot of a Song we are.

Hi Achim

Sorry I don't think I fully understand, but from the little I do it does not seem like this is the Nome would be able to do?

The Nome is a simple Master Clock and metronome, it sounds like you would want something quite advanced and specific, which you could do with a laptop and a DAW maybe?

I just wanted to suggest the same thing.

@Simon This is really cool and simple idea that gives a whole new function of an "orchestra conductor" to the Nome. It would mean getting rid off the BPM display and using the digits as bars / measures counter instead. So any time we would re-sync, the counter would reset and started counting from 1 upwards. In settings we would probably have a settings at which the counter resets itself - likely 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 for 4/4 time signature.

So instead of having pretty useless large BPM displayed, we would have this counter running which would be very useful reference to look at in order to orchestrate transitions etc.

I believe this is so useful and awesome and the tempo display so useless, that I would vote for the tempo to be displayed only when the transport is not started. Then once we start / re-sync, the counter would show up. To display the tempo, we could either hold TAP or single click turn the encoder. Then it would return back to counter after 3 seconds. Of course when changing tempo with encoder, it would always show tempo. If external tempo change was occurring, it would flash the new tempo 3 times and then go back to counter.

EDIT: This is similar / duplicate to these:

So... could this be.... the most requested outstanding feature?
I wouldn't be surprised if that was true, this has to be done, it's getting so much more utility out of the Nome.
