micro.clock Gen4
Micro-Sized MIDI Tap Tempo and Clock Source
The micro.clock allows you to synchronize your tempo-enabled MIDI and non-MIDI devices,
without taking up too much precious board space.
We've now upgraded the micro.clock to our Gen4 technology, with more processing power,
more flexible output configuration, and a bright OLED display.
It's time to get your pedalboard in sync!
Tap the footswitch to set the master clock tempo. The micro.clock will then send taps to your
devices to lock them in to your music.
Selectable subdivisions let you tap in quarter-notes and set your devices to dotted-eighths,
eight-notes, or triplets!
Tap the knob to view or change the subdivisions or output settings for each output, then hold
the knob to save the current settings to a preset.
Hold the footswitch down to advance to the next preset. You can even set the number of
accessible presets so that you only use what you need.
Each tempo preset allows you to specify a tempo in BPM or milliseconds, as well as subdivi-
sions or toggle settings for each of the three outputs. You can also set the micro.clock to send
a MIDI Program Change to an external MIDI device.
Have a pedal that needs an odd or unusual configuration for tempo control? The micro.clock
works with devices that accept a normally-open or normally-closed footswitch, trigger pulses,
or MIDI timing clock.
