The maximum length of a phrase depends on
the BPM you specied. Therefore, changing
the BPM value during loop recording could
cause an overdubbed phrase to be truncated,
or a silent part to be appended to the end of a
phrase.
Also, changing the BPM value in the following
situations will affect the phrase recording:
• You changed the BPM value and recorded BE-
FORE the top of the phrase was located.
• After recording, but BEFORE the top of the
phrase was located, you changed the BPM
value.
During phrase playback, the KAOSSILATOR
PRO+ manages the BPM based on a playback
cycle (time duration from the beginning of the
playback until the top of the phrase is again lo-
cated).
If you do not want your recording loop to be af-
fected by unexpected changes in playback
speed or phrase recording time due to changes
in the BPM value, be sure to wait for playback
to return to the top of the phrase, then start re-
cording. Also, after recordings, do not change
the BPM value until the top of the phrase has
been located.
