Floatingpoint Instruments Multiclock USB Sync Interface

The Floatingpoint Instruments ‘Multiclock USB’ is a multi-format solution for audio device synchronization of all kinds of musical gear with great precision to a DAW or Master Clock. The Multiclock converts all kinds of clock signals from one to another and is able to drive highly accurate Sync with a plugin provided from the sound card of a DAW or even generate Master Clock itself. It features four ultra precise channels, all separately shiftable and swingable in real time to compensate slave machine delay and to add groove to clock. The Multiclock offers Hot-Plug&Play support for MIDI, DIN, Modular Clock, & Analog LFO for each channel. As if all that isn’t enough, unused channels can always be used as a MIDI controller. The tempo range is 30-300 BPM, and the shift range is +-400ms and the resolution 20μs.

The Multiclock receives it’s timing information from the audio track of the DAW, using the supplied Plug-in installed on the computer. The incoming audio signals are converted by the Multiclock into stable clock and sent to the four channels’ outputs. 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. Beside that, it is possible to sync the Multiclock to incoming MIDI Clock, DIN Sync, or Analog Clock from a modular system. Multiclock can also be used as a standalone Master Clock generator as well.

The added USB feature enables users to send any MIDI commands from a DAW to the connected slave devices while syncing to Audio Clock. There is one virtual MIDI Output for each channel and all commands are priority-merged with the accurate supplied clock.
