Operation The JamMan Express XT was designed to be very simple to use right out of the box. This section of the manual describes how to perform the basic looping functions. Recording a Phrase The JamMan Express XT records a single phrase and then plays it back as a continuous loop. To record a phrase: 1. Press the FOOTSWITCH and begin playing to start recording. The REC LED will light solid red and recording will begin. 2. When finished recording, press the FOOTSWITCH once to set the loop end point.
Recording Overdubs Once a phrase has been recorded, overdubs can be added on top of the phrase. To record overdubs: 1. Press the FOOTSWITCH to start loop playback. The PLAY LED will light solid green and the phrase will begin playing. 2. Press the FOOTSWITCH again to begin overdub recording. The DUB LED will light solid yellow and audio will be recorded on top of the phrase. 3. When done overdub recording, press the FOOTSWITCH to end the overdub recording session.
Using JamSync Connection & Record Sequence JamSync allows you to synchronize multiple JamSync compatible devices using optional 1/8” mini stereo (TRS) cables (see below cable diagram). This allows a JamSync master to control the loop playback and stop functions for all connected JamSync slaves, providing multi-track 1/8” multiple Stereo Cable (TRS) looping capabilities.
record to the slave and instead wish to record to the slave at a later time in the song. When using this method, you must arm the slave to record before the master device reaches its loop start point. It’s at this loop start point that the master will send the record command to the slave device(s), so the slave device must be armed in advance to receive the record command.
4. Play your part. 5. When finished recording to the slave, press the slave’s FOOTSWITCH once to set the loop end point. The phrase will automatically begin playing back along with the master loop and the PLAY LED will light solid green. 6. Press the FOOTSWITCH on the master device 2 times quickly to stop loop playback on both devices.
