The micro.clock features an organic LED (OLED) display which shows tempo, preset name,
setup information, and more. It is also equipped with a multi-color LED in the encoder which
lights up the knob.
Use the LED COLOR option in the Setup Menu to customize the LED to your preference. It
defaults to blue but can also be red, green, yellow, violet, cyan, or white.
The organic LED display used on the micro.clock is susceptible to “burn-in” or dimming if left
on a static image for long periods. To help extend the life and appearance of your display, the
micro.clock oers a “screen saver” option, congured in the Setup Menu.
The screensaver will activate after ve minutes without user activity.
The display remains on and ready to respond, but will display some moving text to prevent
static images from burning in. The tempo LED will also continue to blink.
If you prefer to leave the display on at all times, you can also disable the screen saver in this
menu.
