Any of the outputs on the micro.clock may be set to TOGGLE instead of TAP or MIDI. This
configures the output to behave like a latching foot switch that you can set.
In the Setup Menu configure any or all of the outputs as TOGGLE,
save and exit. Then make sure the DIP Switches are set to OFF-
OFF-OFF for the port you are using.
Connect any device that accepts a latching foot switch to the port,
and then tap the knob until you see the port displayed.
Turn the knob to switch the port between ON (switch closed) or
OFF (switch open.) Note that your device may be "off" when the
micro.clock shows "ON, " this depends on how your device has been
designed.
The toggle state will load as part of your presets, so you can use this
option to do things like switch channels on an amplifier or engage
special functions on a pedal.
If you have a device that uses TIP for one function and RING for another,
you can plug a TRS cable into Output B to access both contacts on a
single jack. Output B controls the Tip contact and Output A controls the
ring.

Not all MIDI devices support MIDI Clock, and not all MIDI Clock capable devices support
subdivisions. For those devices we have added the MIDI Tap function.
MIDI Tap sends a MIDI CC (continuous controller) message through
any available MIDI ports to trigger tap tempo on your devices.
To use MIDI Tap, configure MultiJack C as MIDI Tip or MIDI Ring,
then configure the MIDI Tap CC# and Channel.
MultiJack C will now send out a MIDI CC message based on the
tempo
Example: The Alexander Syntax Error 2 does not support MIDI clock,
but it does use MIDI CC 93 to step its sequencer.
Configure MIDI CC# = 93 and set MIDI CHANNEL = the Syntax Error's
MIDI channel, save and exit.
Note: If you want to send MIDI Tap to a device but NOT MIDI
Clock, you can configure MultiJack C = MIDINOCLK to block the
MIDI Clock on that output.

This manual isn't big enough for a complete write-up of every device the micro.clock Gen4
can synchronize! But here are a few of the devices we get asked about regularly:
For devices that use MIDI Clock: Output = MIDI Tip, DIP Switches = ON-ON-ON unless
noted.
For devices that use Tap Tempo: Output = NORM OPEN, DIP Switches = OFF-OFF-OFF
unless noted.
Strymon Timeline, Mobius, BigSky: Use MIDI Clock
In Globals, set MIDICL = ON, optionally set MC SWP = OFF
BigSky tempo controls pre-delay, we don't recommend sending them tempo
Connect with 5P-TRS PRO cable
Strymon V2 Pedals: Use MIDI Clock
Press and hold left footswitch at power on, release when both LEDs flash
Turn upper right knob until right LED is BLUE
Press either footswitch to save and exit
Enter Live Edit mode by holding right footswitch, release when both LEDs flash
Flip the right toggle until both LEDs flash BLUE to enable MIDI clock sync
Press the right footswitch again to save the setting to the current preset on the pedal
Note: you must repeat the Live Edit steps for each preset or FAVE setting
Connect with TRS or mono cable
Chase Bliss:: Use MIDI Clock with MIDI Ring
On micro.clock, configure Output = MIDI RING, save and exit setup
Set DIP Switches = OFF-ON-ON (tip off, sleeve and ring on)
Connect using TRS cable
Eventide H9: Use MIDI Clock
System > MIDI > CLK IN = ON
Connect with 5P-TRS PRO cable
Eventide H90: Use MIDI Clock
System > MIDI > Clock Source = DIN
Tempo > Source = MIDI Clock
Connect with 5P-TRS PRO cable
HX Stomp / One / Effects: Use MIDI Clock
Global Settings > MIDI / Tempo > Rx MIDI Clock = MIDI IN or AUTO
Connect with 5P-TRS PRO cable
Note: blocks must be set to "note divisions" rather than manual tempo to sync
Boss DD-5 / DD-7 / DD-8 and other Boss pedals with Tap Tempo jack
Use Tap Tempo NORM CLOS
Connect with mono cable
Boss DD-200 / MD-200 / RV-200: Use MIDI Clock
Menu > SYN = AUTO
Connect with 1/4" TRS to 3.5mm TRS cable
Boss SY-200: Use MIDI Clock
Menu > MIDI > SYNC = AUTO
Connect with 1/4" TRS to 3.5mm TRS cable
Boss DD-500 / MD-500 / RV-500: Use MIDI Clock
