snd acme-4 price : $1,150.00

the ultimate in musical clock generation & manipulation

the only device in the world to generate a midi master clock that is 100% jitter-free

derives a highly accurate midi clock from any audio recording system

analog 16th-note triggers can also be used as clock source

generates 4 separate clock streams

each clock stream has its individual midi output. 2 streams also generate 24-ppq signals ("roland sync"), while the other 2 provide clock and reset signals for analog sequencers and arpeggiators.

each clock stream can be time-shifted in relation to the master clock, in extremely small increments as well as in 16th-note steps.



each clock stream can be set to double or half tempo, and can be turned on and off without loosing synchronicity.

a swing or shuffle factor can be set individually for each clock stream. the swing pattern can be the same for all 4 streams, or it can be a different one for each. a software editor for these patterns is included.

complete settings of all controls can be stored and recalled. all parameters can be remote controlled via midi. a setup mode allows to set precise absolute offsets for each clock, to compensate for technical reaction time differences of the various devices connected.

like all snd products, the acme-4 has been designed with great attention to detail. the 32-bit risc-processor ensures lightning-fast reaction. high-grade components (gold-plated jacks, switches, and push-buttons, sealed alps potentiometers etc.) and a rugged metal casing ensure decades of reliable operation.

size: 217 mm (width) x 160 mm (depth) x 68 mm (height), powered by usb or external supply
