The Floatingpoint Instruments Multiclock is a multifarious sync solution and interface designed as a one-stop-shop for the synchronization of compatible audio devices. The unit converts many kinds of clock signals into others, drives a Sync plugin via DAW, and is capable of acting as a master clock source. The Multiclock consists of four independent channels, each with real time shift and swing parameters. There’s also per-channel Hot-Plug&Play support for MIDI, modular clock, analog LFO, and DIN. Additionally, any unused channel can be utilized as a MIDI controller. Timing information is sent to the unit from an audio track of the DAW, a process aided by an included plugin. Incoming audio signals are first converted into clock signals then routed to the Multiclock’s four outputs. But the fun doesn’t stop there. The Multiclock can be synchronized with incoming MIDI clock, DIN Sync, or analog clock signals from a modular synthesizer system. An added USB connection means that users can send MIDI messages from a DAW while simultaneously synchronizing with an audio clock.
