This one is pretty easy: the USB port on the device would also be used to send MIDI Clock to your DAW, or any software that would accept it.
Notice that with the current device, all you need is a simple MIDI to USB cable to be able to do this, for example this one: https://www.thomann.de/intl/miditech_midilink_mini.htm or this one: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail ... ype-a-6-ft
Would you like to see this implemented? Any thoughts on the matter?

Thank you Niall! It would be great to discuss with that guy David directly here

Re: Send MIDI Clock from the USB port
I also support MIDI clock over USB. I use a Bome Box as the centre of my MIDI studio and it has only one DIN port which is already in use, but it allows for a large number of USB devices hooked through a powered hub. Ideally I'd like to have the Midronome offer two USB virtual ports over the one USB jack, one which sends Start and one which does not.
Re: Send MIDI Clock from the USB port
Great idea about the two virtual ports!
Problem is more the hardware but if that's sorted might as well make two virtual ports instead of one

Re: Send MIDI Clock from the USB port
+1 for midi over usb. one usb cable and having the midi clock without the audio cable would be a great future. but the plugin would als ne working with the usb only connection.
Re: Send MIDI Clock from the USB port
That will not replace the Audio sync with the DAW. This feature is only to send MIDI Clock to DAWs that accept it, i.e. Ableton Live and Bitwig Studio (as far as I know). All other DAWs will still need the audio sync (which is much more precise anyways) to get the Midronome in time with their transport.
Re: [ACCEPTED - WIP] Send MIDI Clock from the USB port
wow really cool that you are able to implement this feature!
Re: [ACCEPTED - WIP] Send MIDI Clock from the USB port
Should the FAQ on the main website be updated to include this information?
Currently under "Does the USB port also send MIDI" the answer is:
No, the USB is only used for power.
Notice that you can still use a USB port of a computer to deliver power to the Midronome.

For what it's worth, Reason can also be synced via external MIDI Clock but it cannot host VST3 yet so it can't run the audio sync plugin.

Thank you @MLaf!
I've updated the FAQ. Awesome about Reason, I did not know!! Can Reason run any plugin format, like AU on mac maybe?

Re: [ACCEPTED - WIP] Send MIDI Clock from the USB port
Negative, it only supports VST2 right now. They're working on VST3 support but no ETA.
But since it can be synced via MIDI Clock I think that would be a good option for the time being.
