Now fixed in v1.1.0 released today.

Hey guys - so I was actually in the process of implementing this in the plugin when I realized something. In fact x/8 signatures are now implemented: the plugin doubles the tempo and changes the "beats per bar" setting of the Midronome to x. That way a 6/8 time signature will sound correct...

Thanks for reporting. Interesting that both of you guys think this is a bug... :D In any other mode than "2.4.P.", you can see that: The Play button is constantly on when your sequencers are playing The Play button is off when you sequencers stop If you press it while the sequencers are of...

I understand your situation, I still think it's very weird FL does not let you use the same USB-MIDI interface for both the DAW and the plugin :roll: I mean it's all software, surely it's not that difficult to send the same data to two different places :D As for your request let's see what others sa...

There are 2 plugins for Logic: one Instrument plugin and one MIDI FX plugin. Create an instrument track Replace the instrument (I think default is "E-piano") selecting AU Instruments -> MIdronome (see screenshot) Close the GUI of the Midronome plugin Route the track to an external output o...

Sorry I should have mentioned this in the User Guide: you need to unplug the Midronome first

Well that's a funny one :D Most device only have one interface that would send everything, I only put these two so that you can choose if you want your DAW/software to follow clock only or also start/stop. So you're saying that if there was only one interface, the Mobius VST would not be able to rec...

I don't see why not but since none of this has even been tried or implemented it's hard to say 100% at this point

Hi Conor, thanks for asking here

It's probably because MacOS needs to update the device since the USB-MIDI interface has changed.

See the User Guide section 4 on how to do it (the paragraph called "Important")

Let us know how it goes

Cheers

Actually this might come with Firmware 3.0. Basically the sync to 1ppq to 12ppq will be a rather complex algorithm where the Midronome slowly adjust to the sync signal and the phase of that signal (= start of beat). Once this is implemented, it can easily be adapted for 24ppq, which will work for yo...

Good news, I found the bug, expect a 1.0.2 version soon with the fix.

It seems the issue only appears when recording, and only when recording from a bar. For some reason Pro Tools gets the plugin to send 2 extra pulses before the recording starts

Quick workaround: do not record from the beginning of the session and use a tiny preroll (for ex 0|0|001).

Ok I tried to reproduce the issue and yes it's very easily reproducible :) Sorry about that - I should have tried to reproduce the error right away. For my defense I very often get "issues" because people's setup is wrong so I assumed it was the same :roll: Anyways - you can leave this to ...

I mean the idea of simply using the plugin's MIDI data (or a note to cc plugin like you did - but I think this is quite advanced for most Ableton users) to control the Midronome is really brilliant - I think we might add a specific video about this

Then you must have had that old MidroAudioSync plugin already installed :) If you look at the name of the file/folder you downloaded, it's called "Midronome.vst3" - that's the name of the plugin, not MidroAudioSync ;) Note that on Windows you need to copy the whole Midronome.vst3 folder, n...

Wow, thanks again for the video this is super helpful!! Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this. Clearly my previous theory was wrong. I have a new theory: looking at the recording it looks like the sound is exactly 2 pulses early. So maybe the plugin sends 2 pulses before the DAW starts playing/...

Please use the correct plugin - the one from https://midronome.com/support

(the plugin you are trying to use is the ARA plugin - which is now deprecated. It was pre FW 2.0... It's a long story )

Actually no that makes a lot of sense - correct me if I am wrong, but what you would want is: The DAW is still the master using the plugin But turning the dial on the Midronome just sends information to the DAW to change its tempo (simply a command like "set tempo to 145" without sync invo...

Ok, the video helps visualize it well actually. Plugin limitations Everything I've mentioned about the limitations of the plugin would not happen before the tempo change (as shown on the video). And if you record from the beginning of the session then I'm sure the plugin gets the correct tempo from ...

Thank you for reporting! A few questions: What is the tempo you are using - is it changing? Are each recording pass from the same place in the song? Is that place snapped to the grid? Is it at the beginning of a bar? What is your sample rate? What size if your audio buffer? One way to check if the p...

Ohhh yes a very good point I forgot to mention that! It's because MacOS "saves" the USB-MIDI interface configuration, so it's necessary to delete the device in the Audio MIDI Setup for the new interfaces to appear. Thanks so much for informing about it @backinthelab and thank you for repor...

Fair point - noted

Hi Rob,
It is there, in Windows it is simply called "Midronome", right above the two others

What you see is the mix that is sent to my speakers. So for that mix, yes the DAW3 is all the way down, otherwise I'd hear that very loud syncing signal in my speakers, while I only want to send that to the Midronome

Oh I see the confusion. No that's my audio interface software, Focusrite Saffire Mix Control

Hi :) External MIDI Sync in FL Studio is very new, and you surely are one of the first to use it. The Midronome simply sends: MIDI SPP 0,0 + MIDI Start when you press Play, this should bring back the cursor to the beginning of the session MIDI Stop when you press Play again - which should stop the t...

Well the plugin has no GUI. It has no controls, so I thought GUI was not needed
Is that a problem?

I see - will do, and thanks for the feedback in any case

A feature request: the ability to enable "steady clock" when using the new plugin to smooth out multiple rapid clock changes. I had my CPU unexpectedly max out doing something in the background and it of course caused a lot of popping and clicking in my DAW - and it freaked the F out of t...

FYI - this is now implemented and released as part of FW 2.0.
