Midinome

Midi tap tempo

MAKE BETTER LOOPS AND SYNCHRONIZE ALL YOUR GEAR WITH MIDINOME.

Midinome is a tap-tempo MIDI metronome, designed and hand-made by Ultra Palace, in Victoria, BC, Canada. Its primary purpose is to provide an audible metronome click for musicians using a loop pedal, trying to sync multiple MIDI instruments, or anyone who needs a MIDI Clock source, CV Clock source or audible metronome click in a pint-sized pedal.

Since most loop pedals can not quantize without an external MIDI clock, many people use a drum machine to sync and quantize their loops. Midinome fills this need, in a tiny and user-friendly package. Having an audible click is especially useful in a context where multiple musicians are playing together with a loop pedal, or otherwise trying to play in time to a MIDI device, or other electronic instrument. Midinome also makes live looping with a band a breeze - send the audio click to your band mates to keep your loops in sync with them.

Midinome sends the audio click via an 1/8" stereo headphone jack, and sends MIDI Clock and MIDI Start/Stop signals via a standard 5-pin MIDI jack.

As an additional function, with an internal switch, Midinome can be put into CV mode. In this mode Midinome will send a Eurorack CV clock signal via the 1/8" jack, so you can generate both MIDI and CV Clocks, in sync, at the same time.

Midinome is universal and works with any device with a MIDI Input or CV Input. We've tested a ton of loopers, synths, drum machines, and controllers and have not found a device that is incompatible with Midinome. Please reach out to us if you have questions about your particular device or use case!

To use Midinome, you will need a 9V "BOSS-style", center-negative power supply. You may also need some cables. No power supply or cables are supplied with this unit.
