Hi Frank!

Nice to know your opinion on the matter
But yes I agree, I also prefer a constantly running clock (I mean at the end I did make the Midronome for myself, so yes my opinion matters ). So no worries if this is implemented, it will be an option

Cheers
Simon

Hey Roland! Thanks for writing :) Yes I agree - such a feature could be awesome! Not sure if you saw but there has been quite a few developments on the matter, the plan is to add this feature to the Midronome as part of a fancy add-on Module (which will have Beat Detection but also Ableton Link and ...

Hi TIm :) Wow - unbelievable, I actually completely forgot about phantom power... Very ironic for an audio engineer :roll: TRS to XLR will work perfectly fine, it's like any other balanced signal. DI box will also work but is not necessary (that's the whole point of the balanced signal). As for whet...

NOTE: this is merged from another topic "Stop sending MIDI Clock", which is about the same subject. See the post titles to follow the conversation. ------ Hey guys :) Currently the Midronome constantly sends MIDI Clock, regardless of the play/stop buttons (they only send a MIDI Start or St...

Hi Lee! Thanks for writing here. Awesome to get that kind of information, super useful! There are so many usages the Midronome touches already, it's hard to know them all so it's very useful when people bring another one to my attention. Never thought about Lighting designer until now, and even the ...

Hi :) Well the device gets its power from the USB port, which means it is bus powered, there is no other power supply :) It works with USB 2.0 which means it does not draw at any point more than 500mA (so yes your 2021 Macbook Pro will work with it without any issue). As for how much of the battery ...

Hi :) The short answer is that if all you need is a metronome I doubt the Midronome is the solution. The Midronome can be used in many different ways though, so I suggest you investigate a bit more how it could improve your setup. The whole point is that its MIDI clock is precise and stable, and tha...

Hey there :) That's an interesting idea indeed :D It's a little bit outside of the scope for the Midronome, as WorldClock is tempo independent, but why not! I do not know much about World Clock (other than from a user's point of view), but I doubt the current hardware would be able to provide a dece...

Hey Jared!

Welcome to the community
Happy you found it, and awesome usage of the Midronome, it sounds like it will be very useful for you and the band

Yes you can still pre-order - let me get back to you with a link very shortly

Cheers
Simon

Ok that's interesting - you want to be able to start your sequencers but not to stop them? Why is that?

But what you described would work I believe You will also need to stop the MIDI Clock messages from the second port otherwise you will have double clock messages

That's an interesting debate! Because I did not think Ableton Link is really designed for Live use? ... WiFi is not only unreliable but also the way Link syncs things, the fact everybody is a master - it is all about making things easy which is super important (and amazingly done) for a quick jam or...

Hey there :) The Midronome can change its Mute button to make it a second play button. In this mode you have 2 play button, one for each port, and they work independently. Alternatively, you can let the Mute button be, and simply configure the Play button so it only sends start/stop on one of the 2 ...

Hey Gavin
I think for now it's important I focus on the prototypes and get production started

The vote will come around January/february I am thinking, when I have time to start working on these

My pleasure John, happy to hear you jumped on board! :D I was on the lookout for a notification email, but I guess the forum won't do that until you have that employee you're hoping for. The Forum can indeed do that, you just to change your notification settings here: https://forum.midronome.com/ucp...

Idea from Sofus: an option where the Midronome, on top of being disabled when not synced to the DAW, would send MIDI Start and MIDI Stop automatically when the DAW starts and when the DAW stops. This way to record a sequencer all you need is to press play in the DAW, then the sequencer will start au...

No worries Gavin - but yea maybe that question should have been on the thread about swing
And yes generating a sync file should be easy enough, I can totally do that. But I think many people are rooting for swing being implemented in hardware, so let's see what the new features votes give

Hi John Things have changed a bit since my last reply. At this point I am pretty sure there will not be any plugin, at least nor for now. The DAW sync will be based on a WAV file, which you will have to generate for your session (the WAV file will be dependent on your tempo, your time signature and ...

That is also configurable, you can set it to "on", then the clock is sent all the time, or "PLA" and then the clock is only sent when you press play

Hi yelg :) It sends start&stop as well, as the plug is a TRS (stereo), but only in "DIN sync" mode. In this mode the left/tip has a 24ppq analog clock, and right/ring has the start/Stop following the user pressing the play button. The start/stop is a 5V gate. There is already a new fea...

Well I actually do not think Ableton would be able to receive the clock from the Midronome and then send it further to your audio interface (it seems it is what you are trying to do... Or maybe I misunderstood). But if the synth you are trying to sync has in fact DIN-MIDI, then yea that is definitel...

Hi Rob The short answer is probably not. This is a USB keyboard, so the only way to send it the clock is over USB, which is not going to be very precise. You could try to forward the Midronome's clock sent over USB, i.e.: Midronome -> MIDI Clock over USB-MIDI -> computer -> MIDI forwarding / MIDI Th...

Hi Gavin The list above are the current features. The swing is on the list of potential new features with all the others - it has been there for a long time. Just to be clear: being on that list means it has not been implemented yet. I'll send a Kickstarter update (and an email probably) about the n...

Hej Mathias #21 is not Beat Detection, i.e. you cannot send whatever audio you want (this will be possible in the future, with the module having Beat Detection), you have to send a specific sync signal like the one generated by the VST plugin (which you can put in a simple WAV file). In your case I'...

Thanks Bogdan for creating a topic about it :) It sounds like that would be quite a challenge (and therefore, a lot of fun :D ) to code, so yea sounds great I'd love to give this a go! But like all the (many) feature requests it might have to wait, my time is limited and I have to start implementing...

Well that could potentially work as the Midronome will send the MIDI clock sync'ed to your DAW over USB. But really that's never going to be as precise as software-to-software, as the USB in particular will definitely add jitter and latency. Sorry Rob, the best way to solve this is definitely with a...

So, taking into account everything we've discussed, I've decided to go with this. https://scontent.faar2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/313346233_212902824426131_7026075164898198924_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=dbeb18&_nc_ohc=8hkg3CPMXrwAX-0JmY0&_nc_ht=scontent.faar2-1.fna&oh...

Awesome Mathias, thanks

Yes not 100% sure at this point but I do not see why I should stop the pre-orders

Prices will not be as good as Early Birds though.

It's ok - I'll investigate
But not a huge priority at the moment so do not expect this anytime soon

Awesome idea, man, yes I'd love to implement that. That could easily be implemented in the add-on module since it will have WiFi capibilities.

Do you know how the Soundbrenner connects to DAW in terms of protocol?
