Hey HappyClocker, and hi all :) Thank you all so much for commenting here, it really helps giving an idea of what kind of setup you guys are using! :D You've all made it pretty clear that we should find a solution to get U-SYNC to work on Windows, in fact we started developping two different ideas t...

I guess I have to do some more testing. I suspect that my gear is set to Auto and when it receives a Stop message, it reverts to its internal clock, so it stops calculating the incoming midi pulses. Yes if that's the case it sounds like exactly what's happening - problem is it has time to get the &...

Ideally, it should then send the original BPM and "catch up" the few ms it needed to conclude the external clock is stopped (lower than 30 bpm). You mean so that the timing is continuous? That's a whole different deal, and U-SYNC already does that extremely well. As for sending the tempo ...

Hi Maarten, have you had a look at what I wrote above?

Cheers

Apologies for the extremely late reply The current hardware will be damaged by phantom power. Sending phantom power into the device is not allowed. This has been added to the manual and is now official, again sorry, this should have been made clear much earlier.

Simon

Well as long as your mixer can deliver basic USB power (just the usual power from USB 1.1 back in the 90's), then yes it should work
Either way nothing bad will happen if it does not work, just try it
Simon

Glad to hear!

Hi :) I cannot say for sure for now, but this might be delayed in order to make a Windows version for U-SYNC - as you may have seen on the Forums and the Facebook group. But I am confused why you would need this feature to sync to a metronome? You can simply let the Midronome generate the metronome ...

Quick update: this has now been investigated, this is not a bug

Hi Maarten So I've investigated this. The good news is I know exactly what is happening. The bad news is I am not sure if there is much I can do about it. TLDR : you should be able to solve this by making sure your devices always set their tempo to the incoming clock, whether they have received a MI...

(I’m correct that it doesn’t do that already in that mode, right?) Or is there a way to do that already? Or am I maybe just misinterpreting the behavior of my gear? The bug I reported wouldn’t be an issue of Midronome keeps sending the correct clock after it receives a stop message, right? ;) No 24...

Well the Midronome does that already - clock is always running
In fact it is precisely why we have this topic: viewtopic.php?t=340

Maybe you did not realize it because of this bug?

Simon

Looking good! Is that on the boat?

So what would be FW 3.0's key benefits for me? Well you don't have to upgrade, but there is no reason not to :) (except this bug ! but hopefully this is soon solved in a 3.1 version) The big thing about 3.0 is definitely U-SYNC which you will not be able to use (for now), but each new version solve...

Yes very good point and sorry about this, I forgot to mention it, the An.1 and An.2 settings have changed between pre-3.0 and 3.0. The settings saved on the device are left untouched after any upgrade but in this case the range of these two settings has moved by 1, which means whatever value you had...

Awesome Maarten, thank you, much appreciated. Yes this sounds like a bug introduced in the 3.0 firmware, I'll investigate and get back to you here.

PS: topic moved to bugs category where it belongs

Awesome, and my pleasure

Let me know!

PS: topic moved

Hi :) Interesting setup! I remember seeing that diagram before... :D Make sure you keep track latency to zero on the Midronome plugin track in Ableton. Using on other tracks is an interesting idea (to do "per synth" compensation), but yes it might affect the Midronome's timing. About your ...

Amazing woodwork!!
The most beautiful Midronome holder I've seen so far!

Simon

I don't know the old method of doing it let alone needing a new one. But I figure if there is a new plugin than there were probably problems with the last one that this will address. There is technically nothing wrong with the 24P method, it does the job, and it's what people have been doing for th...

Ben_C wrote: ↑02 Jun 2024, 14:13 Ideally, it would be a setting you could “ride” in realtime.

Do you mean bein able to change the time signature on the go, while the clock/song is running, without disrupting the timing?

Simon

I'm looking forward to being able to switch the tempo/beat presets with all possible hardware live without a computer, tablet, etc. using CC# or PC#. No, Song Select is not a CC message, neither a PC message. It's part of the "System Common Messages", just like Song Position Pointer, whic...

Thank you all for the replies, here and on Facebook. Even if I do not reply to everyone personally, make sure I read every single one of your comments - your voice is heard loud and clear :D I understand how it's frustrating to hear " oh here's an amazing new feature but you cannot use it "...

Thank you Maarten, that would be great!
Yes you can freely upgrade and downgrade, no problem there

MPrinsen wrote: ↑30 May 2024, 13:41If something can be done to make Midronome do that automatically

It's not gone completely but has been improved, replacing the value with a simple checkbox (which works with latencies up to 250ms).

Hi Maarten,

Thanks for reporting. A few questions:

• Is this new with FW 2.90, i.e. this is not the case with FW 2.0?
• How is your other gear connected to the Midronome, via MIDI?

Thanks
Simon

Hi :) U-SYNC 1.0 only works for Mac, and for now the Windows version is indefinitely postponed. Would you really like U-SYNC to work on Windows? If so please comment below with: Your Windows version Your Audio interface (or the main one(s), if you are using many) If you know, what audio driver you a...

Closing this as it is a duplicate of viewtopic.php?t=301

Simon

FYI - this has been discussed in both these topics: viewtopic.php?t=386 and viewtopic.php?t=48

Both topics are closed, please add comments into this topic instead.

Simon

Sorry for sending you around, but actually the official request for adding different time signatures (x/2, x/8, x/16, etc.) is in https://forum.midronome.com/viewtopic.php?t=301 I'll close this topic (and the other one ) but add it as reference in the official one. This feature is not too complicate...
