Midi multiclock software#

Setup was easy! After plugging in the Multiclock to the wall, and via USB to my computer, I simply went into Ableton Live and enabled all four ports (which appear independently within the MIDI Setup Page). Each channel can be set to either emit MIDI, DIN sync or analogue clock. Synchronisation of the multiclock to a DAW relies on a sample accurate audio clock, which allows for rock solid sync signals. Also, the buttons and the navigator knob (rotary) are firmly locked in. The multiclock can be it’s own master or synced to external MIDI, DIN sync or Analogue master clocks. I was very pleased to experience some silky, smooth knobs that you can tell cost a little extra. I’m excited! I was also very excited initially about the Shift knobs, as I’ve had some light drift with some devices from time to time.

So, one box takes care of DIN and MIDI in one shot. Initially, I’d gotten excited about the Multiclock, as I have a DIN based device (MC-202), as well as several volca devices, which accept MIDI Input. It also features four Shift knobs, for light, or serious sync adjustments, outside of your DAW. The Multiclocks tempo range is 30 to 300 BPM.

While capable of acting as a master clock source itself, perhaps the most notable feature is its ability to generate an ultra-stable MIDI clock for syncing hardware to a DAW. Each channel can generate MIDI Clock, DIN-Sync, an analog clock and an analog.

In addition, it becomes a MIDI Interface when connected to a computer via USB. The E-RM Multiclock fits in with a variety of MIDI-based workflows with the end goal of keeping hardware and software devices completely in sync with one another. MidiClk is a high precision MIDI Clock tester/generator which allows you to check MIDI Clock timing accuracy and generate super stable MIDI Clock synchronous to the incoming MIDI Clock. There’s also a MIDI IN, coupled with a quarter inch input, for accepting analog clock source, or MIDI IN, DIN/Sync.

The E-RM Multiclock works as either a standalone clock source capable of sending MIDI, or DIN/Sync 24, and even analog clock signal over four built-in 5-pin outputs.
