Clocking alternatives

My audio interface has no midi output and even if I could create some workaround by using a Keystep in between, it's not a good and lasting solution. I would love to see a setting for how Nerdseq interprets the incoming clock such as divisions and multiplications. Same goes for the clock and reset outputs. I have recorded the triggers from Nerdseq and  time stretched it to fit and it's a pain to work with.

I don't really understand what you mean. Audio is not a usable solution for clocking. Or to be more detailed, it is a bad solution for clocking.
At least pure audio that you get out of your soundcard.
It is
1: Bipolar, while the clock inputs are digital inputs.

2: Audio outputs are mostly AC coupled, and so no steady signals can be archieved. All triggers of a several length will be filtered out and the signal will end up as short pulses, not even in the good voltage, with a falling curve. Not how clock signals should look like. 

3: Noise in the audio signal can affect the quality.

I also don't know how multiplications or divisions should be involved here. Clock signals (where the NerdSEQ supports all standards for in and output) are used to synchronise multiple gear together. If you have a normal good Midi or 24ppqn or 1/16 clock source, the synchronising will be perfect. If not, then the source is the problem. And all timings and quality depends on may factors, once computers are involved. The factors are : The DAW you use, the operating system (and the current update level) you use, the Hardware you use (even the fastest computer can suck here), the audio/midi interface you use, all software that is running next to it and many more.
