Midi Clock to Din-Sync conversion with low, fixed latency.

Din-Sync to Midi Clock conversion with low, fixed latency.

Proprietary real-time Input > Output sync format conversion latency correction engine allows accurate compensation for common hardware and software Midi Clock and Din-Sync tempo-slave start delay.

Rotary selectors for quarters, sixteenths and individual clocks are provided for setting a fixed interval start delay. The various setting combination of sync offset values allows up to two full bars of tempo-slave shifting so you can rhythmically syncopate slave hardware devices or software applications against the tempo-master.

The rotary sync fine tune position control allows you to rush or drag the tempo-slave against the tempo-master to find the rhythmic feel sweet spot in real-time with no loss of sync during performance.

The Bypass / Shift / Lock switch enables full In > Out processing bypass. Selecting Shift engages the latency compensation engine and the real-time sync adjustment control. Lock keeps the selected rhythmic feel sweet spot in place and disables the real-time sync adjustment control to avoid unwanted accidental shift position changes during performance.

Modular internal design with no multiple personality disorders. From experience, especially where synchronisation is concerned, sharing hardware resources is a bad idea. Each of the three core components that makes up the Sync-Shift III has it’s own dedicated processor. They work perfectly in isolation and there is no loss in performance or stability when you combine them.

To use it as a fixed latency MIDI Clock tempo-master to Din-Sync tempo-slave convertor > connect the MIDI Clock tempo-master to Clock In and the Din-Sync tempo-slave to Din Out.

To use it as a fixed latency Din-Sync tempo-master to MIDI Clock tempo-slave convertor > connect the Din-Sync tempo-master to Din In and the MIDI Clock tempo-slave to the Clock Out.
