Power input / USB jack / MIDI jacks
3 – Power input
3 5 4
Type: standard 5.5/2.1 mm DC plug, centre negative (supplied).
To power up the pedal, connect the power supply that came with
the Flashback X4 Delay & Looper to the power input jack.
You may also use another 9V or 12V power supply, as long as it
provides 300 mA or more. Use power supplies with isolated out-
puts to minimize hum.
4 – USB jack
You can download new TonePrints from the TC website to your
computer and transfer them to your pedal.
Use the Mini-B to Type A USB cable that came with the pedal to
connect the Flashback X4 Delay & Looper to a computer.
For more on downloading and using TonePrints, see

5 – MIDI IN / MIDI THRU jacks
These are standard MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
connectors.
MIDI IN jack
Connect a computer/DAW (or another device generating a MIDI
Clock signal) to the MIDI IN jack to control the pedal’s delay
tempo.
An incoming MIDI Clock signal will override the settings of the
pedal’s own Delay Time knob. However, the Subdivision Selec-
tor switch still defines the actual note values used to generate the
delays.
You can also send MIDI Program Change messages from your
computer (or another MIDI-capable device) to the pedal to switch
between the pedal’s three presets.
– Program Change message #001: Recall Preset A
– Program Change message #002: Recall Preset B
– Program Change message #003: Recall Preset C
The Flashback X4 Delay & Looper is receiving MIDI messages on
all MIDI channels (MIDI Omni Mode).
MIDI THRU jack
To forward the incoming MIDI signal to another MIDI-equipped
device, connect the MIDI THRU jack of the Flashback X4 Delay &
Looper to the MIDI Input of another MIDI device.
