Parameter MEASURE
LOOP SYNC
TEMPO SYNC BOUNCE IN INPUT

Memory Settings (LOOP)

Value (Bold: default)

Explanation

You can specify the number of measures for each track. When recording along with rhythm sounds or other tracks, it’s convenient to specify the number of measures before you record, so that looping will occur at the specified measure length, even if you don’t operate the switch when you’ve finished recording.

• This parameter is available only if LOOP SYNC SW is “ON”.

Track 1: One measure

Track 2: Four measures

AUTO

Tracks that are set to AUTO will have the same number of measures. The number of measures is determined by the first-recorded track of the tracks that are set to AUTO.
For example, if all tracks are set to AUTO, the value set as the number of measures for the second and subsequent tracks will be identical to the number of measures in the first track that was recorded.

FREE

The number of measures will be set automatically, corresponding to the length of the recording.

~­1­

The number of measures will be set manually. If you select a note, you can make the length shorter than a single measure. Ver. 1.2 * When LOOP SYNC MODE is set to “LOOP LENGTH” (p. 3), the number of measures is adjusted
according to the length set in LOOP LENGTH.

Sets whether to use loop sync (ON) or not (OFF).
When loop sync is used, the memory’s tempo or the tempo synchronized to another track whose LOOP SYNC SW is “ON” is used for recording and playback.

Ver. 1.2
SW

OFF

Records or plays back when you press the buttons.
This lets you play back a loop with an unspecified length, without syncing to the memory’s tempo or to the tempo of another track.

ON

The tempo that’s used for recording or playback is either the memory’s tempo or the tempo synchronized to another track whose LOOP SYNC SW is “ON”.

Sets how the loop sync operates (how syncing is performed).

IMMEDIATE Recording or playback starts right when you press the buttons. The length of the track to be recorded is adjusted in units of one measure.

Ver. 1.2
MODE

MEASURE

Recording or playback starts at the beginning of a measure. The length of the track to be recorded is adjusted in units of one measure. Tracks that are played back start at the beginning of the phrase, in time with the beginning of other tracks and measures.

LOOP LENGTH

Recording or playback starts at the beginning of a measure. The length of the track to be recorded is adjusted according to the length set in LOOP LENGTH (p. 4). The track to be played back starts in time with the beginning of other tracks, in units set by LOOP LENGTH.

Specifies whether each track plays at its original tempo (the tempo during recording) or at the tempo that is

specified in memory.

SW

OFF

The track will play at its own original tempo.

ON

HALF

Plays back at half the speed of the original tempo.

NORMAL Plays back at the original tempo.

DOUBLE Plays back at twice the speed of the original tempo.

OFF, ON

Sets whether to allow the playback sound from a different track as well to be recorded (ON) or not (OFF) during recording or overdubbing.

MIC 1, 2
INST1 L, R OFF, ON
INST2 L, R
RHYTHM

REC
Parameter REC ACTION
QUANTIZE
AUTO REC BOUNCE SW BOUNCE TRACK

Value (Bold: default)

Explanation

It is ignored during overdubbing or playback. When you stop recording, it is quantized to match the measure length of the previously-recorded track (LOOP SYNC SW:
ON) or rhythm.

OFF

Recording begins the instant you perform the operation. When you stop recording, it is quantized to match the measure.

This function changes the effects according to the settings of each step (maximum of 16 steps). You can also change effects in sync with loop performance.

5 Effects that can use the FX sequence function are indicated by the

mark.
