User Manual

RECORDING LOOPS: Only one loop can be recorded at a time.
From boot-up (or after pressing the [ERASE ALL] button) the four
loop pads will be empty. Ensure that the BPM engine is active (or a
tempo has been tapped in) - the empty loop pads are now identified
by flashing blue indicators in the [LOOP] buttons.
To start recording a loop, simply press the desired [LOOP] button
once.
During the loop recording process both the tri-colour indicator and
selected loop button will flash [BLUE] to show a ‘count-down’ of the
number of beats in the loop (Example: press the 16 beat loop button
- both indicators will flash 16 times)
When the recording cycle is complete the tri-colour indicator will
revert back to its previous condition. The recorded loop will now
play back automatically, the indicator in the button staying ON to
show that the loop pad contains a sample. To mute the sample
playback, simply press the [LOOP] button again. The indicator in
the button now goes OFF to show that the loop has been muted.
Toggling the button ON/OFF will play/mute the loop accordingly.
RECORDING START POINT: The exact timing of when you press
the loop button is not critical with regard to loop creation e.g. if you
start recording a 4 beat loop slightly after the beat (missing a down-
beat kick drum for instance), will automatically
create a perfect 4 beat loop and include the kick drum of the
following phrase instead (i.e. the loop will be in synchronisation and
have a precise 4 beat duration no matter where you start the
recording). This feature allows you to easily capture and loop any
section of the audio track.
TIP! When a new BPM is detected, wait a few seconds before
recording the loop. This allows the BPM value to settle and will
ensure more accurate loop synchronisation throughout the track.
