8. MIDI sync
The MIDI sync setting determines how incoming timing signals
sent over MIDI are processed.
The default setting for MIDI sync is “off.” In this mode, any
incoming MIDI timing data is ignored. This allows you to set the
Micron’s tempo normally, using the [tap] button and the control
knob.
When MIDI sync is set to “ext MIDI sync,” the Micron accepts
incoming tempo information from external MIDI devices such as
sequencers. When it receives such information, the tempo from
the external device controls the tempo setting in the Micron.
A third setting, “gen MIDI clock,” generates tempo information
and sends it out via the Micron’s (MIDI OUT) port.
To summarize:
● off: the Micron sets it tempo independent of other devices.
● ext MIDI sync: incoming synchronization from other devices
controls the Micron’s tempo.
● gen MIDI clock: the Micron controls other devices’ tempo.

9. Sysex: send all
Push the control knob to send a SysEx to a computer or other
external device through the (MIDI OUT) port on the back of the
Micron. This SysEx will contain everything you have stored on
your Micron -- every program, setup, rhythm, and pattern. This
can be used to back up all of your data at once, or to share your
entire collection with others.

Tempo gone haywire?
If your tempo seems to have a
mind of its own, see whether
MIDI sync is set to “on.” Set
it to “off” or “gen MIDI
clock” to rectify the situation.
