set affect the Global settings as well. This
means you don’t have to bounce back and forth
between the Global and current Preset to make
changes to Global effects.
It also means that you need to be aware of the
above, so you don’t accidentally edit a Global
setting, thinking you are only editing the current
Preset. With great power comes great respon-
sibility!

Global Effects”.
Multi-track looper
Looper – Main view
Having access to multiple, independent loops al-
lows for a lot of flexibility and functionality when
looping. Our multi-track looper has some really
amazing performance features that will help you
to make great loops.
The Swap feature allows you to record two loops
and alternate between them with the push of a
footswitch. This is particularly useful for record-
ing different “sections” of a song, (like a verse
and chorus) and quickly moving between them.
Looper – Swap feature
Loop length no longer matters. In some loop-
ers, your longest loop track will dictate the length
of all others, which can be a big hassle. Imagine
a “beat box” style rhythm that is 1 bar long and a
guitar progression that is 8 bars long. In the past,
you would have to record 8 bars of the “beat
box” segment in order for there to be “enough”
to play your guitar part over. Now, you can re-
cord unequal length phrases!
Record your 1 bar “beat box” on one loop Track,
then record your 8 bar guitar section on another.
There are a few different Sync modes in the
Looper – so be sure to read the “The Utility
menu” to familiarize yourself with the way they
affect your loops.
