With a separate hardware clock, then the Midronome, can always be the master clock, regardless of what sequencers (hapax/octatrack/daw) I have turned on. In this case, I have to switch, the Octatrack to being master clock (from slave) Then sometimes (5%?), I just turn on my modular and the octatrack, no hapax. When Im running it standalone, the hapax is master, but turn on the daw, and its has to be changed to save. Most of the time I use the Hapax as the sequencer on my setup. … really Im just covering myself, if they do it (**) also I will say, potentially could add a audio input (from PC/daw) to the hapax.įrom a hardware side this is, I think, technically possible, but its not (afaik) planned, and how ‘tight’ it would be would also come down to the firmware inside Hapax. Using an audio clock will always incur latency due to sample buffer.īut for clocks jitter is more of an issue than latency! The Analog clock signals are configurable in polarity, start/reset behavior and contain a flexible clock divider. Each channel can be configured to deliver MIDI Clock, DIN sync or analog clock. you should also remember jitter is different from latency. The Multiclock outputs four channels of MIDI, DIN or analog clock for synchronization. (*) note: to get sample accurate clock from a computer/daw you will need to use an extra audio channel on your existing audio interface. This is not an exhaustive list of ‘why’, there are other reasons, but I think these are the main ones.Īgain, search this forum, and you will find discussion on this topic of midi clock timing with PCs.Īlso the internet (goggle) has plenty of discussion over why doing midi clock over usb on a computer will (potentially) have jitter. so mostly likely you have a bit more gear, and in particular multiple sequencers (***) The other rason you may want a separate clock is if you want a separate clock from your DAW/ hardware sequencer. Really, those that go for a hardware clock are extremely concern about very accurate timing. Synchronization of the multiclock to a DAW relies on a sample-accurate audio clock. Users here likely have a Hapax/Pyramid/Hermod, and these can happily connect to your computer using usb mid… so, do you really need a hardware clock?įrankly, if you have a decent computer setup thats dedicated to music making, midi clock over usb can be pretty good - and for most uses perfectly acceptable.

However, again, I’ll repeat the ERM multiclock is proven tech, recommended by alot of people… whereas Midronome is an unknown at this stage. It also offers slightly different functionality. Main advantage of Midronome is it quite a bit cheaper than ERM’s midiclock and multiclock… its kind of functionally, like a 2 channel ERM multi clock, but at less that half the price.
