Using The Instant Replay Feature - ENSONIQ DP/4 Musician's Manual

Using the Instant Replay Feature
76
Let's create an example using the foot switch to toggle in and out of the instant replay feature:
1. Press System· MIDI until the display shows Parameter #45:
DP4
DP4
Footswitchl=
Controller
2 Using the Data Entry Knob, set the DP / 4 Footswitch 1 to "DP4 Controller." This allows the
foot switch to be used as the modulation source.
3. Press Edit, and use the Arrow buttons to select parameter 08. Turn the Data Entry Knob and
select "DP4 Ftswl Toggle." The display looks like this:
Parameter Number
Selected controller
1 •••••
if~::;;:m~::;;:m::;;:m~~E1TI~~~::;;:m~~~_
(Flashing)
Dela~Set=Cntrl-7
DP4 Ftswl Toggle
This allows you to toggle between a
recording
state and a
playback
state. In playback, it will loop
on the audio which was input during the recording state (of up to 3.6 seconds).
4. Press the Left Arrow button to go back to parameter 07. Turn the Data Entry Knob to
"Mode=Loop /Muted."
5. Press the foot switch and the display shows "Mode=Loop/Record." You now have up to 3.6
seconds to record a passage.
6. Press the foot switch again. The display says "Mode=Loop/Replay." You should be hearing
the passage you just played continually looping. By double-clicking the foot switch (pressing
rapidly two times) you can return the display to "Mode=Loop/Muted."
The regen parameter should be set to 71 to get infinite repeat during playback. Use less regen to
have the repeats eventually fade away. Use more regen if you like runaway feedback and
distortion, or if you use the damping parameter. The amount of regen is also dependent on the
pan of the delay.
Note: If
you leave it in a state for longer than 3.6 seconds, then when you finally do
go back to playback it will retain the previous "legal" setting (the last 3.6 seconds).
