Speed / Varispeed: When the Loop is Empty, the Speed control lets you select the record
speed. A negative speed with Empty causes playback to automatically start in the Reverse
direction after the loop is closed, either through a ► Play button press or the
[AP:LOOP],[AP:RVDIR] settings on the Xnob / Playback Mode. The choices are:
[SPD: +/- 2X] – Double speed. At this record speed, the maximum loop length is 6
seconds.
[SPD: +/- 1X] – Normal speed. At this record speed, the maximum loop length is
12 seconds.
[SPD: +/- 1/2] – Half speed. At this record speed, the maximum loop length is 24
seconds.
[SPD: +/-1/4] – Quarter speed. At this record speed, the maximum loop length is
48 seconds.
After a loop is recorded, Varispeed controls the speed of Loop playback AND dubbing over
the full range of speeds allowing for continuous real-time scrubbing from one octave up in
Reverse Play (-200%), to one octave up in Forward Play (200%), with a pause (0%) directly in
