Trim Mode includes a loop function. When on, the region of the sample between the loop point and end
point will repeat. This is useful when trying to find an ideal spot to begin the sample. The loop cannot be
earlier than the start point.
To adjust the loop point, do any of the following:
•
Use the Loop field.
•
Tap and drag the start (S) marker (if Loop Lock is on) or the loop marker (if Loop Lock is off).
•
Use the first bank of Q-Link Knobs (if Loop Lock is on) or the third bank Q-Link Knobs (if Loop
Lock is off). The top-most Q-Link Knob provides coarse adjustment. The bottom-most Q-Link Knob
provides fine adjustment.
To turn Loop Lock on or off, tap the Loop Lock button. When on, the loop point is the same as the
start point. When off, the loop point is independent from the start point.
To turn the loop function on or off, tap the Loop button to cycle between the three modes:
•
Forward: When the loop reaches its end point, it will start playing again from the loop point.
•
Reverse: When the loop reaches its end point, it will play in reverse. When it reaches the loop point
again, it will return to the end point and continue playing in reverse.
•
Alternating: When the loop reaches its end point, it will play in reverse. When it reaches the loop
point again, it will start playing forward again from the loop point.
To switch between Forward and off, press and hold Shift, and then tap Loop at the bottom of the
touchscreen.
