31 Creating and playing a loop What is a loop? The audio looper has four parts: parts 1 through 4. Each part can record (capture) a performance from the DSP synthesizer (a pattern from the LEAD, BASS, or RHYTHM group), or an external audio input. The data recorded in each part is called a loop . These loops will play back repeatedly (i.e., “loop?[...]

32 Creating and playing a loop The process of creating a loop This page outlines the process of creating a loop. fig.3-0 If you turn an effect on, you will not be able to capture the performance of the parts for which the effect is not turned on. When capturing to each part, you should ensure that the pattern and the external device(s) use the same[...]

However, you can use the Mute function to mute (silence) specific parts. 1 Press the [STATUS] button for the part that you do not want to hear, so it is blinking. The indicators will show the [...]

37 Creating and playing a loop Changing the settings of part 1 You can change the playback pitch and playback region of the sound that you captured in part 1. Playback pitch:This changes the pitch of the loop. Raising the pitch will speed up the playback tempo of the loop, resulting in a silent portion. Lowering the pitch will slow down the playbac[...]

38 Creating and playing a loop Combining several parts into one (Loop Merge) You can free up additional parts by combining several previously recorded parts into a single part. This is called loop merge . fig.3-3_75 * You must have an empty part in order to perform Loop Merge. * Adjust the desired volume balance (p. 35) among the parts before you p[...]

39 Creating and playing a loop 4 Press a [SEL] button to choose the part into which the other parts will be combined.
