Different features maybe, not more Please do tell if I'm missing something, im not interested in a mineisbetterthanyours, but see this as a ps to people interested in a cool sync solution. Well the Multiclock doesn't have user swing patterns and half/double tempo online switches (you can however change it with divisions in the menus) however AFAIK the acme doesn't have a syncable lfo, doesn't sync to dinsync or midi input (only to 16t/bar clock in and via daw usb-midi) and you cant assign the knobs to send out midi controllers.

The 2 boxes are similar, but do have their differences that i personally would be interested in, depending on my needs Different features maybe, not more Please do tell if I'm missing something, im not interested in a mineisbetterthanyours, but seing this as a ps to people interested in a cool sync solution. Well the Multiclock doesn't have user swing patterns and half/double tempo online switches (you can however change it with divisions in the menus to half, 1/4 the tempo etc.haven't tried it yet but will investigate later today) and can't offset 1/2 bar (max is 300 ms) however AFAIK the acme doesn't have a syncable lfo, doesn't sync to dinsync or midi input (only to 16t/bar clock in and via daw usb-midi) and you cant assign the knobs to send out midi controllers.

So there, it's better in that it can do more things. Since you asked, ACME4 has more features.

I haven't tried the acme or the inner clock stuff but i can't imagine how they could be better in any way, and at about half the price. Once were happy with what we got going, we clock it from protools 10 with the trig sample from e-rm's homepage via a separate output on the avid hardware and multitrack all the stuff, works every time. Its really great to work with other people say f.ex one is doing a beat on a 808 and im setting up a sequence on the beatstep with the ability to start/stop my sequence for further tweaks or whatever, without starting/stopping everything and thereby interupting the other guys flow. It has changed my way of working now to more or less completely OTB, because i dont have to start my daw anymore to start jamming. Everything is easily programmed via the LCD with a minimum of menu diving, so the usb isn't a must if its only used for sync. I only use it for sync of ext gear, but since i've got the USB version it can also be used as a standalone midi interface, midi mapper or midicontroller. I've made my own 5 pole din to mini jack whip that follows the normal dinsync standard, so f.ex for my arp sequencer it outputs clock on pin 3 and start/stop/reset on pin 1. It even outputs a trigger strong enough to clock my OB8 arpeggiator, something thats been kind of a problem up until now. that skips the first clock out so that my arp sequencer (which resets to 1 and then starts from 2) is on the same step as my 808, 909 and beatstep pro. Hasn't dropped a beat and its 4 completely independent channels each output either din, clock, midi or LFO with its own offset, shuffle, divisions or f.ex trig sk.

I've had mine for about a month and its been rock solid so far, both the timing and the build itself.

Erm multiclock vs daw
