Time Warp - PIONEER DJ Toraiz Squid Operating Instructions Manual

TIME WARP

The unit auto records all the internal track information in the
background, allowing you to playback and save previously played
patterns as new patterns.
1 Press the [TIME WARP] button.
The button lights up in white and Time Warp mode is enabled. The display
shows the pattern length and preview starting point.
• Timing when switching to Time Warp mode is the first beat of the next bar. If
the [TIME WARP] button is pressed while playing back a bar, the unit will
wait for the down beat of the next bar (the [TIME WARP] button flashes), and
then enters Time Warp mode (the [TIME WARP] button lights up).
• The pads that light up brightly are in the preview range. The dim pads can be
selected to start the preview. The preview cannot be started with pads that
do not light up.
• The pattern cannot be changed while in Time Warp mode.
• Up to 256 steps (16 Bar) of performance information can be auto recorded
inside the unit. Performance information older than 256 steps is overwritten
with the new ones.
• To exit Time Warp mode, press the [TIME WARP] button so that the button
light dims.
2 Turn the rotary selector to select a pattern length.
You can set the pattern length to preview. The setting value can be selected
from [1 bar], [2 bars], [3 bars], and [4 bars].
• The length of the pattern will be the length when a new pattern is saved.
3 Press the desired pad to start previewing.
The unit plays the loop with the specified pattern length from the pad that was
pressed.
• The pattern being previewed restarts each time a pad is pressed.
• To stop previewing, press the [] (stop) button.
