Sim n Tonic Nome II

Nome II: a master clock designed for modern setups and classic machines

The Nome II positions itself as a reference MIDI master clock for musicians and producers working across multiple worlds: a digital audio workstation (DAW) on one side, and hardware instruments on the other (drum machines, sequencers, synthesizers, Eurorack modular). The goal is simple: a single tempo source, properly distributed to the entire setup, to avoid timing shifts, approximate starts, and less reliable tempo changes when multiple devices try to synchronize with each other.

With its multiple connectivity options (MIDI DIN, analog clock, DIN sync24, and USB-C), the Nome II becomes a rhythm control center: it harmonizes synchronization across generations of equipment while remaining flexible enough to integrate into current workflows, whether in production, live performance, or rehearsal.

Who is the Nome II for and when to use it?

The Nome II is aimed at users who want a reliable time base for their tracks and performances. It is particularly relevant if you use multiple synchronized machines (for example, a drum machine, a hardware sequencer, and a synthesizer), if you alternate between DAW and hardware, or if you perform live with a set that must stay perfectly locked from the first to the last song.

In the studio, it facilitates working on long takes, layering patterns, and rhythmic editing while maintaining a consistent tempo across all devices. On stage, it provides a solid reference thanks to the built-in audio metronome and the ability to adapt the time signature to the music (from 1 to 99 beats), suitable for both simple structures and more unusual signatures.
