Unfortunately, at this time Garageband does not support sending MIDI clock output to a device. If you know how to do this, let me know and I can update this info here.

Configuring Your Vistanome

If you go to this webpage, you can configure your Vistanome using your browser: https://vocomotion.com/vistanome/

You can also send a MIDI system exclusive (sysex) message to your Vistanome and alter how it behaves. A sysex message is written in hexadecimal values and looks like this: F0 xx xx xx F7. The xx is where you're going to put your configuration.

For Vistanome, the message is written like this:
F0 aa bb cc dd F7

aa = Pixel Color: 01, 02, 03, ...
bb = Knight Rider Mode: 00=OFF or 0=ON
cc = Brightness: 0x00-0x64 (hexadecimal) (default is 80%=0x50)
dd = Dynamics Mode: 00=OFF or 01=ON

Pixel Color Options
00 = Red (default)
01 = White
02 = Blue
03 = Purple
04 = Orange
05 = Cyan
06 = Green
07 = Yellow
