Right now U-SYNC, and generally the Nome, is only used for MIDI Clock and MIDI Start/Stop.
You can send MIDI Notes to your machines either directly from your DAW or through the Nome using the MIDI Forwarding feature.
But that feature simply "forwards" the MIDI Data received, at the time it was received. In other words, it does not do anything to improve the timing of the MIDI messages sent by the DAW, which can be terrible and not in time at all with the U-SYNC timing.
For sequencers that's not a problem because the note sequence is usually in the sequencer and can be triggered with a MIDI Start message, sent perfectly on time by the Nome. But it's an issue for arpeggiators, or simply synths you want to "play" directly from MIDI Notes in your DAW.
So, with that in mind, the idea is to add the possibility for U-SYNC to send MIDI Notes as well, perfectly on time with the clock timing.
Any thoughts?

PS: there has been quite a few discussions about this, in particular @asender on this topic but also @dheeraj found a workaround using Ableton's tempo follower in that topic.
