multiclock
Professionally sync all your electronic Instruments and Software.
The multiclock can be the main clock generator or synced to external MIDI, DIN sync and Analogue clocks. Synchronization of the multiclock to a DAW relies on a sample accurate audio clock, which allows for rock solid sync signals.
Custom Outputs
The multiclock has four outputs. Each channel can be set to either emit MIDI, DIN sync or analogue clock. Analogue clock signals are configurable in polarity and start/reset behavior and individual clock dividers are available.
Shift & Shuffle
To compensate for any time lag of your connected gear, you can shift each of the four output channels individually and in realtime back and forth relative to the reference clock. If you then have found the sweet spot, you can add a bit of shuffle.
MIDI Router
To become the central connection hub of your setup, a powerful MIDI Router is available. It allows you to route and merge other MIDI data from four USB MIDI ports and the onboard MIDI In with the accurate clock signals.
“It works perfectly! Congrats on a great product!”
“I would confidently place this at the centre of a hardware rig, if you’re running high end pro shows with lights and audio, and you can’t rely on a computer for sync, or won’t rely on one.”
“It solved my problems!”
“E-RM’s Multiclock has to win a price for the most problem solving tool in studio environments! Priceless!!!”
“My special multiclock. Keeps all step sequencers tight and is the most useful tool ever when it comes to midi timing.”
“Accurate, jitter free conversion box that really does the job of allowing you to sync multiple types of devices. Well put together! Roadworthy!”
“Makes life easy for anyone trying to run multiple hardware devices in sync, especially when a DAW’s involved. A lot of thought has clearly gone into the design of the Multiclock!”
Professional DAW Integration
VST, AU & AAX plugins
Synchronization of the multiclock to a DAW relies on a sample accurate audio clock stream, which in consequence guarantees absolutely tight clock signals with ±1 sample of jitter. No drifting involved, everything on the grid. VST, AU and AAX plugins for all major DAWs are provided, or you create your own sync loop with our sample.
Plenty of modular features
Clocks, Dividers, Triggers and LFO
You can configure the modular clock output mode in every possible way: choose the polarities of the signals, select the start or reset behavior for each channel individually and set clock dividers. There is also an analogue LFO available with various waveforms and optional frequency quantization to connect to the Eurorack world.
Sync your (vintage) gear…
MIDI, DIN Sync & Tape
Sync all your drummachines, grooveboxes, sequencers, arpeggiators and effects with a stable MIDI Clock or DIN sync/sync24 signal. But also your tape machine can be back in the game: simply record a 24ppq loop of our sync sample to one track, connect the tape machine to the multiclock Audio In and be in sync!
… and devices from the future
Bluetooth, Wifi, Network
With the app The Metronome from our friends at Soundbrenner, you can easily integrate the multiclock and all its attached devices into your Ableton Link environment. This enables you to sync Android and iOS apps as well as computer software in the Link cosmos with your other musical instruments. Learn more.
