NOTE In addition to the AC adapter, the MOTION LOOP can be powered by a 006P (9 V) alkaline battery. Battery life for continuous use is about 2 hours (this depends on the type and usage condition of the battery). Please note that a manganese dry cell cannot be used due to its short life. -

RATE knob. If there is no sampled input signal when the effect is turned on, the MOTION LOOP waits for the input signal while keeping the effect in ready status and starts the loop operation as soon as it receives the input signal. If the input signal level is lower than about -40 dBm, then the MOTION LOOP assumes that there is no input signal. -
Page 8: Rate Knob And Grid Mode
RATE Knob and Grid Mode When the MOTION LOOP performs the loop process, the length (in time) of the sampled sound to be looped depends on the duration set by the RATE knob. When there is no BPM setting (i.e. OFF), the RATE knob operates with BPM 60 as its reference. If the knob is set to the center position, a sampled sound about 250 ms in length is looped. -

If Filter mode is set to ENVELOPE, SYNC BMP, or SYNC SPEED in the Edit menu, this knob is deactivated. Recalling Presets 128 presets provided by the MOTION LOOP can be recalled in various ways. Use PRESET Footswitch to Switch between Presets 1 and 2 Press the PRESET footswitch to switch the presets. -
Page 10: Recall Desired Preset From 128 Presets
The MOTION LOOP’s presets are switched by receiving a program change number MIDI signal from an external MIDI device. The MIDI channel of the device that sends the program change number has to be the same as the MIDI channel of the MOTION LOOP. -

Page 13: Loop Setting
LOOP SETTING 1) LOOP LEVEL: Sets whether to increase/decrease the signal level at every loop repeat. Parameter: -100 to -001: The signal level decreases at every loop repeat. 000: Loops are repeated at the same level. (Default) 001 to 100: The signal level increases at every loop repeat. 2) RESET LEVEL: Sets whether to reset the level set by LOOP LEVEL. -

NARROW: Narrow filter range. WIDE: Wide filter range. (Default) 3) FILTER MODE: In addition to manual use, the MOTION LOOP’s filter operation can respond to some external conditions. Parameter: MANUAL: Filter operation is manipulated by turning the knobs by hand. (Default) ENV: Filter operation responds to input waveform envelope. -
Page 15: Delay Setting
DELAY SETTING 1) SUBDIVISION: Sets the delay length according to the current tempo. Parameter: OFF: Turns off the delay effect. (Default) 1: The length of the delay sound is equal to a whole note (semibreve). 1/2: The length of the delay sound is equal to a half note (minim). 1/4: The length of the delay sound is equal to a quarter note (crotchet). -
