You mean the ARA format? Yea that's true. But they can both sync to MIDI Clock though. Yes they can but I cannot test that because my play button does not work... so I don't even know if that will work for me. I'm confused with the plugin - doesn't it just need to spit out a pulse that is synced to...

Damn, neither of the two DAW's I use support this obscure format (Bitwig and Reason). I mean Bitwig just jumped on the CLAP bandwagon and Reason just got VST3 support so chances of either one adding this format (within the next decade) are probably slim. Unfortunate...

Enter bootloader with the broken play is tricky but doable. Just follow the enter bootloader instructions and trigger the play when power on using the method you figured out. I had to short some pins on the board manually. At least firmware got updated but I still can’t really use it as the daw sync...

I'll send you a mail very soon - I have something you could try.

Good news !! - For bootloader mode/firmware update, or also for fixing the play button issue?

I'm guessing for bootloader mode. Pretty sure the broken play button is hardware related.

So I just tried this tonight (to see how DAW sync was working) but I can't even select Syn from the inP menu in settings. I just have OFF, PEd, PAd, and P.A.d...

@Simon can you at least make the FB group public so users without accounts can view it?

I don't even use Ableton Live but I also second the request to host these files someplace that's not Facebook. Closed my account 10 years ago and won't be opening a new one.

@Dave I was suggesting that some info be added automatically to the generated files but as @Simon mentions it becomes difficult when using tempo files with bpm changes (what the app currently does). I did also ask the same regarding multiple files in one go. I think a bpm into the name even with tem...

I wonder if it jumps when going from file to file because of the DAWs timestretching or auto fades on audio clips (if enabled). There's also the fact that the end of the file might have extra padding that needs to be trimmed? Need to test it.

No I am not on Facebook.

I was planning on using the Midronome as the master clock so it’s kind of useless without a working play button. Will send an email to the address provided as soon as I can. When you say a repair will I have to send the unit to you to be fixed and then it’s sent back or will a working unit be sent t...

Noted, thanks Simon!

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't have auto topic subscribe enabled! Initially I didn't understand the point of the multiple tempo entries (I thought it would give me x separate tempos at y bars long each, not one giant file with tempo changes). I don't really understand the point behind being able...

It might just be a bad solder joint but my eyes are getting too old to tell lol.

Yep, Play button is broken

I actually think my play button is defective which is why it doesn't enter bootloader. The unit won't play (pressing Play does nothing). No light on play button and the Pla on display does not show.

Hey Simon, I finally received my device today. The unit appears to be in working order and doesn’t look damaged however the box might need some reinforcement inside. The part that holds the device is easily ripped and the contents slides around. The box also looks like it was slightly crushed. IMG_1...

By default the Sync Generator will create a file called sync.wav. If you rename this and forget to append .wav, the file is created without an extension (this might cause some users confusion). First suggestion is to omit the extension in the save as file name and just automatically append .wav rega...

After reading through the manual and noticing a lot of features (main plus extended), I'm curious if there is any thought on creating an application that can set these parameters? As much as a polarizing company (rhymes with Dehringer) is, their Synth Tool app has the ability to both update firmware...

Can I ask what the reason is for not sending the pulse on the first beat?

Yeah there will always be tradeoffs when it comes to computers/audio/etc. If the pros/cons are documented then the choice is at least in the consumers hand.

I just noticed that the sync file generator doesn't support fractional bpm's (eg 87.4). Time to submit another bug report

I can understand the annoyance with having multiple plugin formats (vst, au, aax, and now clap) and many different DAWs. Sometimes supporting "most" is better than "none". In the IT security world, people often say "well I can't implement all of these requirements so I'm not...

Thank you Simon. So you're saying the most accurate solution is the DAW sync, okay. I'm still a bit fuzzy on the details on what needs to be pressed when for this to work. Press play on DAW, press play on Midronome? Or does the Midronome listen to MIDI Start/Stop messages? The video you linked to sh...

I'm just trying to understand the options for synchronizing a DAW, Midronome, and external hardware. Since the Midronome is going to have the most stable clock it would probably make most sense to have this as the primary (right?). And I do use two of the DAW's that allow for being synced externally...

So happy that the target was achieved in well under the first hour (and even a day before the general public can pledge!)

Awesome work Simon and team!

Edit - ah I just noticed that sending midi notes through won't be possible and an additional merge box will be needed...

Will we be able to to send MIDI into this jack (eg MIDI keyboard) and have it merged with the clock signal from the DAW or the internal clock?
