GigFrame Pulse · Hardware

Your band's tempo, sensed live.

A wired USB-C sensor line that reads the beat at the source and feeds it to GigFrame — so your charts scroll in time, not on a guess. Three sensors, one waveform, under a millisecond.

GigFrame Pulse · Hardware

118bpm · sync locked

Lock to the beat at the source.

Pulse reads the tempo where it actually happens — the head, the string, the clock — and sends it down USB-C in under a millisecond. Your charts move with the band, not behind it.

GigFrame Pulse · Hardware

Built for the floor you stand on.

Pro-audio hardware for live tempo. Clip it, patch it inline, or take MIDI clock straight off your rig — then watch GigFrame hold the line under stage lights.

The family

One family. Four ways in.

Every instrument has a cleaner path to the beat. Start with the phone already in your pocket, then drop in the sensor that matches your rig.

Your Phone Pulse Clip Pulse Inline Pulse MIDI

The Pulse hardware shares one waveform marker and one promise — wired USB-C, passive, sub-millisecond. The phone is where everyone starts; the sensors are where it gets clean.

Signal chain

How Pulse holds the line.

Three steps, one signal path. The sensor feels the beat, your phone does the thinking, and the whole band's charts move together.

01 — Sense

Sense

The sensor picks up the beat where it happens — a drum head, a string, a MIDI clock — and sends it down USB-C.

02 — Detect

Detect

GigFrame reads the signal on your phone and resolves a stable tempo — 118 BPM. No firmware on the sensor; the phone does the math.

03 — Sync
Sync locked

Sync

That tempo drives the scroll and bar cues, and locks every bandmate's screen to the same beat.

Specifications

The spec sheet.

Passive by design. The intelligence lives in the app, so the hardware stays simple, silent and fast.

<1ms
end-to-end over USB-C.
vs. 7–15 ms wireless — and sync tolerance is ~100 ms, so it lands effectively instant.

Passive by design.

No battery to charge. No firmware to update. No Bluetooth to pair or drop mid-set. The sensor is a clean wired path; your phone runs the detection. Fewer moving parts on stage is the whole point.
