Looper

You can record up to 38 seconds (MONO) of a performance and play back the recorded section over and over. You can also layer additional
performances with the recording as it plays back (overdubbing).
This lets you create real-time backing performances on the fly.

Assigning Looper Functions to Switches

To use the looper, you must first assign the looper's record, play, and overdub functions to the desired switches. Here we explain an
example of how you can use the [CTL1] switch of the GT-1000CORE to operate the looper.
1.
Select the patch with which you want to use the looper.
2. Choose [MENU] 0 "CONTROL ASSIGN" 0 "CONTROL FUNCTION."
3.
For "CTL 1," set FUNCTION to "LOOPER."
MEMO
5 With the factory settings, preset patches P246–P250 and user patches U246–U250 are set as shown above.
Record
Recording will start
immediately when you press
the [CTL1] switch.
At the point where you want
to loop, press the pedal to
switch to playback.

Loop Playback Level Setting

If you set the playback level at 100 (default value), the volume of
the performance and that of the loop playback will be identical.
If you set the playback level to a value lower than 100, the volume
of the playback will be lower than that of the performance. As
a result, the sound of the performance won't get buried by the
loop playback sound, even if you record a multiple number of
times.
1.
Press the [EFFECT] button.
2.
Turn knob [SELECT] to select LOOPER.
3.
Turn knob [1] to specify the "LEVEL" value.
Loop Playback
Play back the loop.
Pressing the [CTL1]
switch will switch to
overdubbing.
