The micro.clock can store all of your tempo, subdivision, and program change settings to a
preset for easy recall. You can save up to 100 presets in the memory of the micro.clock.
Loading a preset will set the tempo, and re=sync all configured Tap Tempo outputs. If the
micro.clock is configured to send MIDI program change message one will be sent.
If MIDI Start is enabled, that message will also be sent.
If the clock is disabled in the preset to load, a MIDI Stop message will be sent instead.
To load a preset, hold the footswitch down until "LOAD NEXT" is
displayed.
If FOOTSWITCH is set to PRESET, you can just tap
the footswitch once to load the next preset.
To load the previous preset, hold the footswitch
until "LOAD PREV" is displayed. Please note that
the micro.clock will load the next preset, and then
will go backwards 2 presets, arriving at the desired
location.
If FOOTSWITCH is set to PRESET, you can load
the previous preset by holding the footswitch.
To save a preset, press and hold the knob until the EDIT PRESET NAME
screen is displayed.
Turn the knob to move the name cursor, tap the knob to edit the
selected character.
Set the cursor on the preset
number position to select the
location to save the preset. You
can copy a preset to multiple
locations by saving it in several
places.
Once you have set the preset
name, hold the knob again
to SAVE the preset or tap the
footswitch to cancel the save.

MultiJack C is a special output, with additional functions not available on Outputs A and B.
Use the Setup Menu to configure MultiJack C to one of the functions detailed below. Most of
these settings require the DIP switches to be set to ON-ON-ON except as noted.
These functions are identical to the normal operation for Outputs A and B
NORM OPEN*: Normally Open Tap Tempo Output, suitable for most devices
NORM CLOS*: Normally Closed Tap Tempo Output, suitable for Boss devices
TOGGLE*: Toggle output, switches on or off but does not follow tempo
* set DIP switches to OFF-OFF-OFF
MIDI TIP: MIDI output, TRS type A with tip active.
MIDI RING: MIDI output, TRS type B with ring active. Set DIP to ON-ON-ON for Type B
or OFF-ON-ON for use with Chase Bliss pedals
These two functions use a TRS wired dual momentary footswitch. Use the tip connection for the first
action and the ring connection for the second.
TAP FT.SW: Connect remote dual footswitch for tap tempo and start / stop
PST FT.SW: Connect remote dual footswitch for preset up and preset down
These functions configure the MultiJack to send a Control Voltage that ranges from 0-3.3V from the
MultiJack based on the current tempo.
CV TIP: Sends 0-3.3V control voltage from tip in response to tempo
CV RING: Sends 0-3.3V control voltage from ring in response to tempo
To use the CV Tip or CV Ring functions. use the Setup Menu to input the Min and Max values for the
voltage range. Consult the manual for your device to determine the correct values.
Example: The Belle Epoch Deluxe pedal uses CV on the Ring of its expression port to set delay time, set
MultiJack C = CV RING. Delay time at 0V is 80ms, set CV MIN = 80. Delay time at 3.3V is 680ms, set CV
MAX = 680.
This setting sends a fixed Control Voltage, and is not controlled by the tempo. Use this as part of a
preset to send an expression pedal signal to some compatible pedals.
CV NO BPM: Sends 0-3.3V control voltage from tip, does not follow tempo
This setting sends a 3.3V pulse output based on the tempo. It can be useful for devices that do not
These settings send or receive MIDI with alternate settings:
MIDINOCLK: MIDI output, TRS type A, does not send MIDI clock.
MIDI I/O: Configures Tip as MIDI output, Ring as MIDI input
MIDITHRU: Configures Tip as MIDI output, Ring as MIDI input, data on Tip is sent to Ring
MIDI IN: Configures as MIDI IN on Ring only, no MIDI out on MultiJack
MultiJack functions that enable MIDI INPUT require a MIDI signal in "voltage mode." Most devices
can provide this, but check with the maker of your MIDI device to ensure that its output connects Pin 2
to earth / ground. If it does not, you will need to use a converter such as the MIDI Box 4 to restore this
ground connection.
