VOICE DEFINITION MODULE

12 - SET LOOP START and LOOP LENGTH POINTS

“Looping” lets you mark off a section (called a loop) of a Voice with a Start point

and loop Length (see Fig. VDEF-3). When you press a key, the Voice plays

normally until it reaches the end of the loop. It then jumps back to the Start point

and re-plays through the loop. Upon reaching the loop end, it again re-plays the

loop. This looping process continues for as long as the key is pressed. Fig. VDEF-

4 indicates a typical looping action. (Note: VOICE DEFINITION 26 lets the loop

continue even after you remove your fingers from the keys to accommodate

sounds with long release times. VOICE DEFINITION 13 provides an alternate

looping action where the loop plays both backwards and forwards. Refer to these

sections for specifics.)

Applications: Looping provides “infinite sustain” effects, extends short samples, and if

the loop is rhythmically related to a composition, produces interesting rhythmic effects.

1. With the module active, assign the Current Voice (see GENERAL

INSTRUCTIONS 2).

Note: Looping works on only one Voice at a time. If you specify more than one

Voice as the Current Voice, the first Voice listed in the display will be looped.

2. After assigning the Current Voice (the ENTER LED will be off), key in 12. The

display says:

etc.

… then replays the marked loop

for as long as the key is held
