Drift; Expression Pedal - Red Panda TENSOR Owner's Manual

Drift

While the Tensor is engaged (blue LED on), holding down the ON footswitch will cause the tape speed
effect to continue playing at the set speed without splicing back to the current time. Releasing the
footswitch will snap back to the current time. If playback falls too far behind, it will stop (tape stop ef-
fect). The Tensor will continue recording in "real time" as it plays.
When the ON footswitch is set to momentary mode, drift mode is always active. This is useful for instant
rewind effects and reverse solos. With BLEND 100% wet (5:00) and SPEED set to -100% (7:00), pressing
the ON footswitch will rewind what you just played (up to about 2.4 seconds). It continues recording, so
you can instantly flip between forward and reverse.
To play a reverse guitar solo with precise control over each segment, briefly lift your foot and re-press
the ON footswitch for each segment. It is similar to a horn player pausing to breath, but it takes some
practice to get the timing down because you are playing notes ahead of when you hear them. (Hold NXT
mode or the automatic reverse playback function are other options for reverse soloing.)

Expression pedal

The expression pedal morphs from the current knob settings (toe down) to normal playback (heel down).
For example, if the SPEED knob is set to 12:00 (stopped), you will get a tape stop effect as you push the
pedal down.
