[Simon]

STATUS: First beta is available, called v2.9.0-beta. Note that for this beta U-SYNC works on Mac OS only.
To access the beta you must join the beta-tester team.

This is the roadmap for firmware 3.0.

Fixed issues:

• MIDI Forwarding to MIDI Out 2 is not working on Mac - viewtopic.php?t=369
• Midronome PLAY flashes in 2.4.P. - viewtopic.php?t=297

New Major Feature:

• U-SYNC: simple, precise, and reliable synchronisation with DAWs

Other changes/improvements:

• All external sync modes now start right away
• Sync modes: 2.4.P. has been removed, and MidroSync ("Syn") is now hidden
• MIDI SysEx message limit for forwarding is now 500 bytes - viewtopic.php?t=338
• General improvements regarding synchronisation
• General improvements regarding USB communication

I'm actually pretty excited for the "combined" 24P/2.4.P. mode, as this (if I understand correctly) allows for immediate start upon receiving pulses (like 2.4.P. always did) and also us Midronome as master clock when you're not sending it pulses form your DAW (like 24P always did).
Previously, we had to choose between either of the two.

I love being able to switch between using Midronome synced to my DAW and using Midronome as the master, without fiddling with setting.

Correct And you can try this already now, it's a Firmware improvement so it does not matter if you are using Mac or Windows

Well U-SYNC is particularly good at that, in fact the transition from DAW to master and from master to DAW is extremely smooth

Ah that’s great! I thought maybe the update tool was only available for Mac, but the only thing that is restricted to Mac yet is the U-Sync software? Cool, hope to be able to test the new firmware this weekend
