In the early days of synthesis various protocols were introduced by manufacturers for syncing their instruments and effects together. But these were often incompatible with items from other manufacturers. The AIRA SBX-1 from Roland is the perfect solution for these situations, a sync box that allows computers and electronic instruments to communicate and synchronize with each other across formats.
The unit supports an array of both analog and digital devices through DIN Sync, MIDI and USB, and any of these can be the master clock source. Or it can be designated as the master sync, controlling multiple external devices using its accurate internal clock. Hands-on control over timing and groove, and support for CV/Gate makes the AIRA SBX-1 a great addition to a hybrid music studio.
