3. Sync Mode: Use this mode if you want 4 looper tracks with different lengths that always stay in
sync. In this mode:
• You can record or play multiple tracks simultaneously.
• You must record track 1 first.
• After the track 1 has been recorded, all other looper tracks must be the same length, or a
multiple of its length.
• If new tracks are shorter or longer than track 1, Looperboard will automatically quantize them
to keep them in sync with track 1.
• When you set a track to record, overdub, or play, it will begin doing so when the playhead
has reached the end of the loop and starts at the beginning again.
4. Serial-Sync Mode: This mode is similar to Serial Mode, but it enables you to keep 1 looper track
(e.g., a drum or percussion track) playing at all times while switching between different song
sections on looper tracks 2, 3, and 4 (e.g., verse, chorus, and bridge). In this mode:
• Track 1 and only one other looper track can be playing, recording, or overdubbing at the
same time.
• You must record track 1 first.
• After the track 1 has been recorded, all other looper tracks must be the same length, or a
multiple of its length.
• Looperboard will auto-trim (or extend) the endpoints of the other looper tracks to always
keep them in sync.
• When you set a track to record, overdub, or play, it will begin doing so when the playhead
has reached the end of the loop and starts at the beginning again.
5. Free Mode: This mode is useful for creating ambient soundscapes or for musicians who just like
to break the rules! In this mode:
• You can record, overdub, or play all looper tracks simultaneously.
• All looper tracks can be different lengths.
• When you set a track to record, overdub, or play, it will happen immediately.
