"The problem is that PCs and MACs have notoriously shakey midi timing. If you’ve never noticed this, you probably don’t need a Sync Lock, but if you’ve ever been frustrated by the midi clock coming out of your DAW then read on...
...
The Sync-Lock is a box which has two audio inputs (connected to two outputs on your soundcard), a midi output, a din sync output and a 1/4 jack output. The two audio inputs accept audio pulses, which are generated either with a simple WAV file or with a specially written plugin that comes with the Sync-Lock. One is for clock pulses and one for start/stop commands. The box then converts these (in less than 30 micoseconds according to Innerclock) to midi clock, din sync and pulse signals (for analog sequencers etc). The result is a clock output which is sample accurate (or as near as damn it) to your DAW’s audio output."
This sounds a lot like the discontinued RedSound Voyager beat synch-er which only had MIDI out , but offered a real nice start and stop button too
