RE: Innerclock
It's hard to tell because this is one of the most poorly designed web
sites I've ever seen. But from what I was able to read within the sea of
distracting graphics it's a combination of a plugin and a hardware device
that can be used to generate a much more stable MIDI clock than can be
done in software. I think rather than using a timer in the computer and
sending MIDI through the computer, you send sync pulses as an audio signal
from the plugin out through the audio device, the hardware then monitors
this signal and generates MIDI clocks. Besides avoiding the jittery
environment within the computer this also allows the MIDI clocks to be
generated with sample accurate positioning since the sync pulses are
interleaved with the audio you hear. I'm guessing you need a multichannel
audio device, and you dedicate one channel for the sync pulses and use the
others for audible signals. I would imagine this would be useful for
anyone that wanted to combine tracks in a DAW with patterns played by
external hardware devices that follow MIDI clocks.
There may be more but it took me 15 minutes just to get that far. This is
a textbook example of how NOT
to design web sites that market a product.

How would that be possible? I mean, the problem with MIDI clock sync
is not how it's governed but that the protocol in itself isn't very
accurate, meaning the slaving device will have to play catch-up all
the time; either it is a bit too fast and needs to slow down or it is
a bit too slow and needs to speed up. If MIDI clock doesn't sound
tight enough for your application I would rather use something else,
like for example MTC or Rewire.
