Disaster Area Designs / micro clock

micro.clock is a clock generator that synchronizes MIDI Clock and non-MIDI tempo input devices. Despite its ultra-compact size of 93 x 38 x 42mm, it also includes a foot switch for tap tempo input.

Product Specifications
■ Power Supply: 9V center negative / 60mA or more, or UCB 5V / 100mA (power supply and cable sold separately)
■ Dimensions: 93 x 38 x 42mm

Turning the knob or tapping with the footswitch sets the micro.clock's tempo (=master tempo), and that tempo signal is sent to all devices.
The tempo division can also be set, supporting not only eighth notes but also dotted eighth notes, triplets, and more.
(The tempo division can be changed by pressing the knob.)

● Supports Various Tempo Signals
In addition to standard MIDI CLOCK, various non-MIDI tempo signals can be sent. In addition to normally-open and normally-closed, the expression jack also supports 0-3.3V.

● Presets
The micro.clock also features a preset function, allowing you to save up to 100 presets.
The maximum number of available presets can also be set.
For each preset, you can set the tempo display method (BPM/ms), note division, and action for the three output terminals.

● MultiJack
This terminal can transmit not only clock signals but also MIDI PC.
Since you can set the MIDI PC to be sent for each preset, you can simultaneously switch the preset and tempo of the connected device.
The signal to be output is set using the DIP switch on the board.
