| Setup & Demo | See the DAW Sync in action and how to set it up on this Youtube video |
| Sync Signal source (master) |
From the Midronome DAW Plugin (VST/AU) From another other Midronome (to sync them together) From DJ Equipment From a backing-track player Or from anything else that can play a WAV file containing the sync signal |
| Setup on the device |
The Midronome will show a red or green LED to inform if the volume of the sync signal is right Volume much too low: no light Volume too low: red light Correct volume: green light Volume too high: red light Put the volume right in the middle of the "green zone" for best results. |
| Sync Signal Contents |
Audio pulse at 24ppq (pulses per quarternote) Pulse width: min 0.5ms (1ms is ideal) Second half of last pulse before next bar should be higher (min 0.9V) |
| Voltage levels |
Min 0.3V and max 0.9V for the 24 pulses Min 0.9V for the high pulse before the bar Ideally never lower than -0.5V or higher than 3.6V |
