The DMC.micro supports three “families” of Strymon MIDI devices:
Big-Box with Display: Timeline, Mobius, BigSky have dedicated 5-pin MIDI
Big-Box, no Display: Volante, NightSky have dedicated 5-pin MIDI and 1/4” MIDI
Small-Box: Sunset, Riverside, Iridium, Compadre use 1/4” with the MultiJack or adapter cable
Timeline, Mobius, BigSky: Use the dedicated device driver selections for these.
Enter the Globals on your pedal and congure MIDITH = ON or MERGE, MIDICH to match the
device slot you have selected. Ex. DevA = MIDICH 1, DevB = MIDICH 2, etc.
If you plan to use the Clock mode to send MIDI clock to your device, set MIDICL = ON (this may
also be in the PARAMS menu depending on the pedal) and MC SWP = OFF if applicable.
If you are using the Timeline and wish to use the DMC to control its looper, congure BYPASS =
BUFBYP, LPEXIT = PLAY.
Mobius may be set to BYPASS = TRUEBYP, but Timeline and BigSky should be set to BUFBYP in
order to maintain trails.
Volante, NightSky may use the BigSky device driver. Each pedal has a slightly dierent method
to set its MIDI channel, consult the device manual for your pedal for information about setting
the channel. Remember that DevA = channel 1, DevB = channel 2 etc.
Volante and NightSky are not set to receive MIDI clock by default and must be congured to do
so per-preset.
Note: Volante SOS Looper is not yet supported
Small-Box pedals use their 1/4” EXP or FAVORITE jack for MIDI. Each pedal has a slightly
dierent setup for conguring its MIDI channel so consult your device manual for more details.
If you’re using the MuliJack to interface to a Strymon Small-Box pedal, connect the DMC to the
pedal using a standard TRS or TS cable and ip the DIP switches to ON-ON-ON. Then congure
JACK = MIDI TIP and make sure that JACK CHANNEL is set to include the device slot you’re
using for your Strymon pedal. For example, if you are using DevC for an Iridium, you would
congure JACK CHANNEL = -B-- or ABCD. Any setting that has your chosen channel active
should work.
Sunset has a slightly dierent bypass conguration than the other Small-Box pedals. We
recommend that you set preset 0 on the Sunset with knobs at minimum and both sides of the
pedal bypassed, then save. The DMC.micro will use preset 0 as its bypass setting, allowing you
to easily bypass both sides for clean sound.
