All of the conguration and customization options are contained within the Setup Menu. Any
changes you make in this menu are saved in the memory of the micro.clock for future use.
Throughout this manual we’ll indicate Setup Menu options as MENU = OPTION, meaning we’d
like you to navigate to that item in the Setup Menu and set its value to match.

The micro.clock is compact but loaded with features and connectivity.
MultiJack C: This jack can send tempo to most devices, as well as acting as MIDI output, MIDI
input, remote footswitch input, and more.
Tempo Jack B: Sends tempo to your device, or it may be congured as a MIDI output.
Tempo Jack A: Just like Jack B, this jack can send tempo or MIDI output.
DC 9V: The micro.clock requires 9V DC only, center negative, 2.1mm pin. Just about
anything that will power a Boss pedal will work on your micro.clock. You’ll need to provide at
least 100mA of isolated power, but more is okay.
USB Type-C: This port connects to a USB host like a computer or tablet to serve as a USB MIDI
device. It is also used to update the rmware in your micro.clock and may be used to power
the controller.

There are ten DIP Switches on the rear of the micro.clock, accessible through an opening in
the enclosure. Each switch isolates the Tip, Ring, and Sleeve of one of the outputs to prevent
ground loops or other undesirable behavior.
Set the DIP Switches for each port to match the conguration of that port in the Setup
Menu.
Set the DIP switches to OFF-OFF-OFF to
use the output for isolated tap tempo.
Set the switches to ON-ON-ON to use
as MIDI output, footswitch input, and
most other functions.
Set the switches to OFF-ON-ON for use
with Chase Bliss devices (ring active.)
The switch labeled “P” is a pull-up function that ties Jack A Tip to Ring. This is used with
rare devices that provide power for their tap tempo input from the ring. Leave it OFF
unless otherwise directed.
