Midi to analog clk

I think you're doing something interesting, but I have a feeling that 
you'll need a slightly more sophisticated approach. First of all, you'll 
have to make sure the total tempo stays constant (I think your code is 
fine in that regard). But then, I'll probably give different variations 
to the individual beats - like 1 should probably be rather precise, but 
then the others might introduce a bit of "groove". Also, your approach 
only ever delays the pulse, it's never early.

I'd probably start by getting a precise timebase by measuring the timing 
of the incoming midi message (some kind of phase-locked loop). Then 
synthesize the necessary pulses according to a beat-aware algorithm that 
moves the timing around randomly.
