Great tool especially for spontaneous jams with other musicians
Sturdy build works exactly as advertised. Bit pricey for what you get, but still the best way to prevent midi sync issues.

Depending on your gear and how much you have to rely on midi sync I would consider to buy the bigger one. Way more options and at some point the midiclock+ may not be sufficient.
