c) Autoloop mode
To create a loop with a determinate size is necessary to go into
default mode AUTOLOOP. In this case we can only establish the
extent of the loop indicating the number of beats.
To enter this mode by pressing the TRACK control for 2 seconds.
To exit AUTOLOOP mode we have to push out the same control
again but this time for a minimum period of time.
Once inside AUTOLOOP mode, we can resize the loop by the
encoder control TRACK.
As we rotate the control, the display will show the different values
that can take the size of the loop being the possible values: 1/32,
1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 beats.
To set the loop we first make sure you are within AUTOLOOP mode
and then press the IN button. In this case the loop will be executed
at the size indicated on the display at that very moment.
Entering the AUTOLOOP mode while playing a loop manually set by
the user via the IN and OUT buttons, the loop will automatically
adjust the size of beats that has been set in that time within the
mode.
