Disaster Area Designs micro.Clock

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.

Bundle with one of our TRS-MIDI cables to allow for MIDI clock and program change output to 5-pin MIDI devices, or use a standard TS or TRS cable to send MIDI to 1/4” compatible MIDI pedals.

OVERVIEW
- The micro.clock leverages our advanced SMARTClock technology in a tiny package – just 3.6″ x 1.5″ x 1.6″ (93 x 38 x 42mm.)

- 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 subdivisions 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, and can even send 0-3.3V control voltage that works with pedals with expression control of delay / tempo. Check with your pedal builder for details on their expression options!
