Needed to sync my modular with the DAW. I avoided midi for several years, recording/adjusting clock signals directly and routing the tracks into clock inputs. However after a while this got old, so I got myself this. I don't use the divider outputs, as I have enough dividers. Also I never needed the "run" gate, until last week, when I was playing with a friend whose main clock is mn tempi and the gate came really handy for start/stop.
