Basic Tutorial for LOOP 1 and 2

Record, Play, Overdub and Delete

• “Bottom track”: The first recorded track of a blank LOOP.
• “Overdub”: Overlay the second and subsequent recordings on top of the bottom track.
• “Stop”: Press twice to stop the LOOP only active when the LOOP is playing
• Additional Tips: Press and hold the MEMORY/SAVE knob to switch the current recording mode (only for the bottom track): manual recording (MR) and automatic recording (AR). When switching to AR mode, after pressing the footswitch, LOOP will automatically start recording after detecting a certain signal input.

Undo and Redo

• “Undo”: Hold to Undo is only for the last overdub track, not for the bottom track

Recording Length Tips

• Recording length : The length of each overdub track of LOOP 1 or 2 can be controlled as an integer multiple of the length of its own bottom track. This is a useful technique for creative players. The loop length of LOOP will be based on the longest overdub recording. (If the recording time is not an integer multiple after you press the footswitch to end recording, the footswitch light will turn blue and flash slowly until the recording ends automatically at an integer multiple.)
