If you don't mind building a box to hold the switches and a credit-card sized PCB, you could probably find an electronics friend to whip up a MIDI output and write some program code. Your requirements are very simple, so the coding should not take much more than one hour. These boards are about...

I had requests from users wishing they could isolate the various contributors to latency and jitter rather than measure only the cumulative sum in the final audio track. Some of these people use hardware drum-machines and were noticing that their drum-machines synchronized tightly to one DAW...

I saw on the news this morning that the Australian dollar has suddenly dropped to a four-year low. Now would be a good time to buy gear from the land of the Fairlight.

You know how some musicians seem connected to their instrument as though it is an extension of their being? Barring a few exceptions, these virtuoso performers usually specialize in only one or two instruments. The alternative is being a jack of all trades and a master of none. When a...

I have written some software to help us determine the effects that hardware, driver and software changes have upon MIDI latency and jitter. The program is also handy for identifying the ideal number of samples of offset to apply to MIDI tracks to compensate for round-trip latency when recording...
