One issue: Comments seem to disappear instantly (or have in the recent past). This suggests a possible flaw: either a lack of any comments makes the user invisible (a vicious cycle), overall rep can make one invisible (also a vicious cycle akin to being banned or scarlet-lettered by other users) or the number of downratings required to make someone invisible is too small. Invisibility is a far worse state than being disapproved of. For one thing, the casual reader is never allowed to assess what is always a subjective and situational judgment. On Engadget, some of the most interesting comments are downranked while the most obvious are often rated so highly you begin to wonder about the age of the average user.

The biblical refs would get more interesting if Origin released an updated Prophet VS.

It's time we heard more news about Murderbox.

Your comments: If you look at the jitter selector, you'll see that the point
is to determine which kind of sync to generate.

"Sample-accurate sync" is suppoed to mean that no samples are dropped. It is a way of saying one's sync is very accurate, and has more to do with latency than the sort of playback jitter to which audiophiles commonly refer.

Various devices in my home and studio rig purport to be "sample-accurate" but are not immune to latency. A lot depends on the power of one's CPU and/or workstation and the ways in which SW and plugins make use of it.

The point of having an external clock is to generate "house sync" -- that is, to rhythmically align various devices that use internal clocks or are clock-dependent. That way, your vintage sequencer/beatbox vocoder barbeque, a flick on VHS running on SMPTE and your trusty CPU may conversate on the beat with minimal timing issues and zero deviation.

Generally, house sync is just that: a unifying clock within a single setup. One possible use of an "atomic" house sync (if that literally meant syncing to the atomic clock) might be to allow people in different places to run the same sequence simultaneously and write tracks together in real time.

This looks like the twin fembot mating scene from "All Is Full of Love." When Chris Cunningham watches this, he probably packs wood.

Men in raincoats will want to marry vats of ferrofluid.
