The upper-left Input Source field defines whether you are going to record an external
audio signal, which you can set to the pair of inputs (Input 1,2) or a single input (Input 1–2).
You can also select an internal signal from within your Force hardware (Resample L,
Resample R, or Resample L+R).
Resampling does not require an audio connection because the source is internal and is
therefore recorded without any loss in audio quality. You can, for example, use Resample to
record two or more samples by pressing the corresponding pads simultaneously.
Use the second upper-left Mono/Stereo field to choose whether your recorded loop will be
monaural (Mono) or binaural (Stereo).
The Inserts field shows any enabled or disabled effects for the Looper. Tap the area under
Inserts to open a window where you can load, change, and enable or disable the effects.
Important: These effects are applied to the audio as you record it. This means that the
effects cannot be "removed" from the sound later. Learn more about how effects work in
General Features >
Effects.
Tap the Monitor button to enable or disable input monitoring.
When on, the audio you hear in your headphones will be taken before it reaches the Looper, ensuring zero latency.
You can turn input monitoring on only if the Input Source field is set to an input, not to a Resample setting.
When off, the audio you hear in your headphones will be taken after it is processed in the Looper, so there may be
some latency, but you will hear the audio source as it sounds in the recording.
Tip: To avoid possible clicks or feedback while input monitoring, reduce the level of the audio sources.
Use the threshold slider to adjust the threshold. Alternatively, turn Knob 1 when the knobs are set to screen mode.
The threshold slider will work only when Sync is off (see below).
When the Looper is record-armed, it automatically starts recording when the level of the incoming source exceeds this
setting. If you set it too high, the recording may not start when you play the input source, or the start of the material you
wanted to record may be missing. If you set it too low, the recording may start too early, before you play the external
source. Set this parameter to an appropriate level using the level meter.
To reset the "peak hold," which shows the highest level of your input signal in the level meter, tap it.
Use the Bars field to define the length of your loop. Regardless of
how much or how little audio you record, this is how long your loop
will be.
Use the Sync button to sync or un-sync the looper with transport playback. When on, the Looper will stay in step with
your project. When you play or record into the Looper, it will wait until the transport starts playing to start.
Use the Record To selector to determine the loop recording behavior:
•
Play: Before recording, you must first tap the /Play button on the screen, which will start playing the Looper.
•
Overdub: Before recording, you must first tap the Rec/Record button in the lower-right corner to record-arm the
Looper.
Use the Output Gain slider to set the output signal level of the Looper.
