| 1 | +# CLICK V2 |
| 2 | +**Wireless MIDI & Utility Hub (v2.0.0)** |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +--- |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +## Device Overview |
| 7 | +The CLICK is a hub for wireless MIDI, relay switching, and emulated expression control. It is made in New South Wales, Australia and supports our Device API for external control. Now you can bring more of your non-MIDI devices into your MIDI universe. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +With USB power only, the CLICK can be used as a USB MIDI interface with the built-in 3.5mm TRS MIDI jacks, a MIDI-controlled relay switcher with the 1/4" TRS relay jack, and a WiFi or Bluetooth LE MIDI interface. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Each of the 128 presets can save your desired relay states for the Tip and the Ring independently as well as the position of the expression output. Please note that expression output requires a 9v DC connection and will not work on USB power only. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +!!! note |
| 14 | + The Expression outputs does not function as a CV output, but a passive variable-resistance device which emulates a normal passive expression pedal. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +For even more flexibility, the MIDI out jack can be switched between MIDI Type A, MIDI Type B, or an aux switch input jack for directly controlling preset changes (up or down) without needing to send MIDI to the CLICK. The onboard utility LEDs let you select what kind of information you want to see so that no matter which features of the CLICK you're using, you get useful LED feedback. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +All the settings are editable using our web editor, and many of the features can be triggered remotely by sending MIDI to the CLICK over USB or wireless MIDI. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +!!! example "Firmware Updates" |
| 21 | + In the future, CLiCK v2 will receive firmware updates to add new features including elements of USB MIDI Host features. These features are possible on the included hardware, but the firmware does not currently support them. |

| 115 | +* **MIDI Thru**: Flexible digital routing via the web editor. You can route any input to any output. Use caution to avoid infinite loops when looping back to USB or wireless hosts. |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +--- |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +## 5. USB & USB MIDI |
| 120 | +The CLiCK is a class-compliant device. It is automatically recognized by Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and iPadOS. |
| 121 | +* **Note**: Mobile devices may not provide enough power; use a powered USB hub or the 9V DC jack if needed. |
| 122 | +* **USB Host vs. Device**: The "Device" port connects to a host (Computer/Phone). The "Host" port (future update) will connect directly to MIDI pedals. |
