Stop sending MIDI Clock

[Simon]

Hey guys

Currently the Midronome constantly sends MIDI Clock, regardless of the play/stop buttons
(they only send a MIDI Start or Stop message - but the clock is always running).

I thought this was the expected behavior of a clock, since all MIDI Clock does is "set the tempo", devices will not start without a MIDI Start message.

But I can imagine how this could be annoying, so this topic is about implementing a way that the Midronome only sends MIDI Clock when pressing "play" and will stop the clock when pressing the Play button again.

Note this is slightly similar to this topic: viewtopic.php?t=72

I remember @Reptil showing me a "stop button" that could basically stop the clock when needed.

Feel free to comment and give your opinions about the matter

Cheers

Hi outthere,
this sounds somehow strange to me, because the main reason for me to pre-order this device was exactly the opposite, that the midronome is NOT doing this and sends clock signals all the time.
I am really annoyed of my other gear that exactly shows this behaviour, I want to decide by myself which sequencer / arp / drum machine is running or stopped.
starting / stopping all the gear together without a choice is for me completely useless.
So, if you want to implement this, - please please - as an option, but the "standard" should be as designed.

looking forward to have the M. in my hands ........

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
