DAW generated MIDI clock is susceptible to jitter.

Driving external hardware with unstable sync results in poor tempo stability, loss of rhythmic feel and problems maintaining accurate DAW grid alignment.

Many drum machines and hardware sequencers use older Din-Sync or voltage clock synchronisation formats and a wide variety of rates. Integrating these devices in a DAW studio environment requires conversion, increasing latency and introducing more jitter.

Sync-Gen 3LX is a high resolution, sample-position and tempo-accurate synchronisation plug-in/interface combination for your DAW.
