Walrus Audio announced the launch of the Canvas Clock on February 25, 2025, a tempo control device the company says is designed to synchronize delay, tremolo, modulation and other time-based pedals¹.

The unit sends clock signals to MIDI devices through 1/8-inch and 5-pin MIDI ports and to analog devices through 1/4-inch jacks, and it continues sending them as the player moves through a song list or adjusts tempo by hand²³. The four 1/4-inch jacks can be assigned to tempo out, CV out, switch input and expression in¹. Songs can be edited, saved and recalled in real time or through the Canvas Clock Editor at walrusaudio.io, with the current song's settings sent to every connected device²³. The footswitches are customizable to move forward and back through songs and set lists, toggle a global tap tempo and start or stop a metronome, which has a dedicated output for live monitoring or front of house¹.

Walrus Audio lists the enclosure as custom powder-coated black aluminum, measuring 2.3 by 2.96 by 4.84 inches including jacks¹. The circuit is digital and draws 300mA at 9V DC, center negative²³. The Canvas Clock is priced starting at $299.99 and is available at walrusaudio.com¹.

The Canvas Clock is listed as part of Walrus Audio's Harvest Series².
