It's pronounced "Som" folks, not "So-tum." ;) Lee and May demonstrated their new sCLK-OCX10 master clock and it sounded much better than what I heard at RMAF 2017. During the A/B, it sounded pretty lifeless and flat without the master clock connected. Dramatic to say the least. I'll be getting one in for review very soon.[/caption] [caption id="attachment_9191" align="alignnone" width="680"] SOtM's new switch clocked by the sCLK-OCX10[/caption]
