Based on our original Sync-Gen IIPRO and Sync-Gen IILE format with some significant upgrades, the Sync-Gen 3LX system is a sample-accurate, latency-correcting, universal DAW to external hardware tempo-sync interface system with advanced plugin control provided in AU / VST / VST3 and AAX formats. A single dedicated output from your audio interface is the only requirement. All audio interfaces are supported. No DC coupling is required. All DAWs are supported as are all project sample rates. All outgoing five pin ports are switchable between MIDI < > Din-Sync. An output buss-switchable direct MIDI Merge is included on the front panel for live keyboard play or for injecting DAW generated MIDI events into the precision generated clock stream.

Analogue Voltage Clocks and DAW running status Transport output pulses ( switchable between 5VDC / S-Trig ) are provided via a rear TRS socket with all clock rates up to 96PPQ available and selected directly via front panel rotary switches. All clock rate changes are DAW-grid bar quantized ensuring smooth live performance and / or real-time recording / tracking feel. A variable Voltage Trigger / Pulse width control is provided for the slower rhythmic analogue clock rates.

Internal native clock resolution is 96PPQ and is tempo-stable to 5μs ( microseconds ) which means all slower clock rates retain identical stability and alignment being internally divided down by the hardware design.

The Multi-Split is a zero-latency, zero-jitter, dual input MIDI and Din-Sync Port Expander for the Sync-Gen 3LX unit which can be used separately or in combination if required as a precision MIDI / Din-Sync MULT / THRU box.
