The Included VST Instruments
LoopMash
Transport Controls
The transport controls can be found at the bottom of the LoopMash panel.
Setting the LoopMash Tempo
During playback, LoopMash can be synchronized to the tempo set in your host
application, or can follow its own tempo setting:
• Click the sync button (to the right of the Play button) to activate or deactivate
synchronization to the project tempo set in your host application.
When sync is on, you can start playback using the transport controls. With sync
off, LoopMash starts playing only when you click the Play button in LoopMash.
• When the sync button is deactivated, the current LoopMash tempo (in BPM) is
displayed in the tempo field to the left of the master button. To change the local
tempo, click in the tempo field, enter a new value, and press [Enter].
• When the sync button is deactivated, you can click the master button (to the right
of the tempo field) to copy the tempo of the current master loop into the tempo
field.
The sync on/off parameter can be automated. This is useful to control LoopMash
in a project – with sync off, the playback of LoopMash within a project is paused.
Controlling Transport Functions with Your MIDI Keyboard
You can control the start, stop, sync on, and sync off function with your MIDI
keyboard.
Ö If you do not have a MIDI keyboard connected to your computer, you can make use of
the Virtual Keyboard feature (see the Operation Manual).
