Yeah, InTime is similar in some ways to the Kahler Human Clock. I've
never tried the Human Clock, only read a little about it. InTime is
currently less flexible in that it relies on midi input, but is more
flexible in other ways.

I think that the setup for InTime is easier than for the Human Clock, and
from what we've seen of other tempo-tracking methods, InTime is probably
much more flexible in tracking tempo. InTime uses an algorithm derived
from research into neurocognitive models of music perception, and is much
more flexible than other methods, which are often based on statistical
sampling, or expect repetitive patterns. InTime can track a constantly
changing rhythm if need be, and doesn't require any kind of "4 on the
floor" beat.

To setup InTime for a song, all you need to do is set the startup tempo,
which you can do in several ways, including tap from keyboard or midi
footswitch. All other critical functions are controllable via midi notes
or controllers, allowing the drummer, for example, to change tracking
sensitivity and modes remotely while another musician does live loop
manipulation on the same laptop the InTime is running on.

Anywho, if there are any more questions, just let me know.
