You can use a power supply with an output voltage between 9V and 12V DC, 200mA and any polarity. The socket is a 2.1mm BOSS style type.

Sure, the multiclock can be a masterclock generator on it’s own.

The multiclock has a powerful built-in MIDI mapper and merger. There are four USB MIDI ports available – one for each physical output port – which are merged internally with the accurate clock streams.

On top of that there is a MIDI Mapper, which allows you to map MIDI data from the physical DIN MIDI input to the outputs as well. With the Mapper, you can even substitute channel numbers and send commands to ports at once.

If your DAW does not support our plugin, you can create a sync loop with the sample we provide. You can for example load it into a sampler and trigger it 24 times per quarter note. You can find a working MIDI clip here. If you want to use any other clock master – for example your tape machine – just record the output of the plugin / the sync sample to one of the tracks.

Under OSX, the MIDI interface of the multiclock is multi client capable by default. For Windows, there is a driver, you can download it here:

E-RM multiclock Multi Client MIDI Driver

Sure, just configure the output of the multiclock plugin as an External Audio Effect to exclude it from the soloing behavior.

Each channel has it’s own start/stop button. When the system is running, you can stop each channel any time and start them again in sync with the selected time signature.

Every channel can be configured individually to have MIDI, DIN Sync, Modular or Analog format.

Channel 1 on the multiclock has a 1/4″ jack and can be used with a standard insert/Y cable to route clock and run/start signals to your system. For the other three channels you need a DIN socket to jack splitter, which we supply in the form of the modular whip.

The multiclock improves the timing of all instruments which are clocked by it. Nevertheless, you can not manipulate notes that you send from your DAW to your synths through the multiclock MIDI Interface. Keep your sequences in the internal sequencers of your external instruments or sequencers for tight lines!

Generally speaking, everything is supported which can be set up as a MIDI Clock Slave, has a DIN Sync input or syncs to Analog clock pulses.
That means sequencers, drum machines, (guitar) effect pedals, samplers, arpeggiators, modular synthesizers or DAW and DJ software.

Some examples of compatible software are Bitwig, Live, Reason, Traktor and Maschine. Cubase, Reaper and Logic do currently not support external MIDI Clock.

In all cases, see the respective manuals on how to set everything up.

Here is a random list of things to take care of to achieve stable sync on a DAW:

• Read the Manual. Check chapter 04 in the manual of the midiclock⁺ and of your respective software for hints on synchronisation.
• Use quality MIDI and audio hardware to get the signals in your DAW. Don’t be surprised if your cheap fully integrated MIDI-USB cable doesn’t do the job.
• Use the latest version of your DAW software. There are enormous improvements especialy with Live for software versions after 8.2.5 and again with Live 9.
• Set your audio buffer sizes as low as possible.
• Take care of moderate load. If your CPU or RAM is running out of capacity there is no time for the software to take care of MIDI.
• Turn off WLAN and bluetooth. Both cause excessive interrups to the system and spoil your synchronisation.

In all cases, see the respective manuals on how to set everything up.

The USB port on the midiclock is only for power, no USB MIDI is available on this port.

The tempo range of the midiclock⁺ is 40-300 BPM.

You can use any kind of USB wall wart like the ones you use to charge a smartphone to power your midiclock⁺. The voltage mustn’t exceed 7 V and it should at least have a supply current of 75 mA.

Set the mode selection switch on the back to DIN for the channel you want to use for your modular system. To enable Modular mode, hold down the encoder during power on. 8 clock pulses are sent per quarter note (8ppq), i.e. you get 32th notes. Cut down with a clock divider module as required.
