In this case, the number of measures is set
automatically according to the length of the
imported Loop Phrase such that the BPM for these
measures are as close to 120.0 as possible. For details
regarding the modification of these settings, refer to
“Modifying Loop Phrase settings” (p. 183).
If the Loop Phrase selected for creation already
contains data, this will be overwritten by the audio
data from the source file. As it will not be possible to
restore this data, care should be taken to ensure that
important Loop Phrases are not accidentally
overwritten in this way.
