Midi clock source

Hi guys. I'm looking for a piece of hardware to act as a stable midi clock source for the rest of my gear to slave to. I basically need play and stop buttons as well as tempo control and that's about it.

It's gotta be cheap and small (preferably). Any ideas?

Cheers

I had one a long time ago. I think the timing was pretty good. At least I never noticed any problems.

The new Akai MPK49 keyboard controller has a clock along with keys, buttons, sliders, pads, transport controls, and an arp. It's costs a lot more than a used Yamaha QX21, but it has more functions. I use it to control my laptop, and two Waldorf synths without problems. It's clock syncs up well with all of them. The built-in arp is a great feature.
