Circuit Happy Missing Link Junior is a small black box that wirelessly connects and synchronizes Eurorack or drum machines to Ableton Link-enabled equipment.
Yay, Missing Link Junior is here, a fabulous little box for “absyncing” whose Eurorack predecessor ML:2 had been unavailable for a long time due to parts shortages.
Who doesn't know it? You have your Eurorack system and your drum machine standing next to your laptop with Ableton and you just wish that everything works. Whoever has made the journey from MIDI to CV with possible Din-Sync intermediate stations in between knows about the complexity and error-proneness of a not cleanly configured sync-biotope with various converters and adapters. With Missing Link Junior your job description should finally change from conversion expert to musician again.
Just connect the analog clock outputs of Missing Link Junior to your Eurorack system or send MIDI clock via TRS MIDI output to your favorite drum machines and off you go! Then just connect Missing Link via home or studio WiFi and Ableton or Ableton Link-enabled iOS devices on your end devices can take part in the colorful jam experience.
The black PCB desk has flashing LEDs to indicate tempo and network status. If there is no WiFi nearby, Missing Link Junior can also take all your devices under its wing as a WiFi access point. Nudging the delay compensation can bring all devices to the exact tempo, while an included 5V 500mA USB-C power adapter (including USB-A to USB-C cable) provides the necessary power. In addition to the USB port and 3.5mm MIDI jack (TRS-A), there are two sync outputs (A/B) on the rear panel that are not averse to various configuration scenarios. These can be changed directly on the device or in an even easier way via a dedicated web browser.
Missing Link Junior could soon be your DAW's best friend, accompanying you to a Eurorack party or playing its way into the heart of your DAW-less performance rig.
Features:
- WiFi enabled box for syncing Eurorack systems or drum machines and Ableton-Link enabled devices.
- 2.4 GHz WiFi antenna (not compatible with 5G networks)
- TRS-A MIDI output
- 2 sync jacks (A and B/5V) that can be used as clock at different PPQN values, trigger reset at start/stop or run/stop gate for a DIN sync-like clock.
- USB-Power-Adapter (5V/500 mA) with USB-C-to-USB-A-Adapter included
