Hi Phil ,
Great to hear about the Midi Clock.
Unfortunately Hydrogen-2.0.0-pre-alpha-8b2e673ba-win64.exe
installation on Windows 10
would not start - here is the contents of the logfile:

(E) [Filesystem::drumkit_list] drumkit [Jazz Funk Kit] is not usable
(E) [PortAudioDriver::connect] Can't use device 'Speakers (Focusrite
Usb Audio)', using default stream
(E) [PortAudioDriver::connect] Can't use device 'Speakers (Focusrite
Usb Audio)', using default stream
(E) [PortAudioDriver::connect] Can't use device 'Speakers (Focusrite
Usb Audio)', using default stream
(E) [::static int H2Core::AudioEngine::audioEngine_process(uint32_t,
void*)] [PortAudio|PortMidi] Failed to lock audioEngine in allowed 10
ms, missed buffer
(E) [::void handleFatalSignal(int)] Fatal signal 11
Stop logger

(I installed it into a different folder from existing Hydrogen v1.2.6
Installation)
Tried 3 different audio outputs and they all had the same error "Can't
use device 'Speakers (xxxx)', using default stream"
Any idea what I could do to get it to run withour Error?

Kind Regards
Jazi

        Hey Jazi,     

        I have a first draft of a prototype featuring a MIDI clock      
implementation (AppImage [1], macOS [2], Windows exe [3]).     

        There is most probably still some work to do in order to make the    
  synchronization real tight. Hydrogen is not yet designed to offer   
   real time support of MIDI messages [4].     

        Could you check how synchronization is handled at your end? I      
managed to borrow a synth supporting MIDI clock messages but my      
setup is far from ideal.     

        Please note that this is part of a development code for version      
2.0. When using the application linked in [1]-[3] you can only      
open your drumkits and those songs touched with a more or less      
recent version of Hydrogen from the 1.2.X release line. So, better    
  make a backup of the `.hydrogen` folder beforehand. See [5] for     
 details.     

        All the best,     

        Phil

a great addition and allow

         VST would really only be needed for Apps that have no Midi

         sync , where Hydrogen VST version would follow App's
Transport.

        Hey,                 

        MIDI Clock is already on the shortlist for the 2.0                  
release (see [1]). If you already have a Github                  
account, you can subscribe to the ticket and will                  
receive notifications when its state does change.                 

        VST/LV2 plugin, however, is not planned yet.                  
Actually, I'm a bit at a loss in this regard. Should                  
the whole application as is be converted into a                  
plugin? Or rather just the sequencer while both the                  
pattern and song editor should be omitted?                 

        Beta testing would be great! The main branch contains                
  the latest version and I could provide you with an                  
executable if you tell me which OS you are working on.                


        All the best,

                     Thank you for creating Hydrogen.
                     I am interested on how you are progressing with
Midi                     Clock ?
                     Also wonder if you will be creating a Hydrogen
VST3                     Plugin ?
                     I am available to Beta Test your latest versions.
                     Kind Regards
                     Jazi
