MIDI clock

MIDI clock is a timing signal sent over MIDI that lets devices sync to a common BPM¹. Pedals that sync to it lock onto the incoming signal and adjust their tempo, keeping time-based effects tight across different devices²³. It is global, affecting all pedals in the MIDI chain regardless of what MIDI channel each one is set to³. It lets effects be set to precise, pre-set BPMs instead of tapping a tempo in by foot and by feel¹.
