2-Finger Loopy - Intellijel Metropolix Manual

2-Finger Loopy
When the track is playing, and you press two Stage buttons, Loopy (on the next clock pulse) begins
to play a linear loop (either Forward or Reverse) that begins at one finger's Stage button and ends
at the second finger's Stage button. It will still honor the LOOP PULSES count, or (if set to 'Auto') it
will auto-set the number of pulses based on the stages themselves.
Specifically:
1. Enter and configure Loopy as described in
2. If the sequencer is currently stopped, press the RUN button (or use one of the remote RUN
options) to start playback.
The eight stage buttons light up in a "Loopywave" of pink and blue, and the Action Display on
the screen reads "Loop Stage(s)".
3. Press and hold two Stage buttons.
The two held Stage buttons set the left and right limits of the Loopy cycle.
If DIRECTION ='Forward' on the ORDER screen : beginning with the next clock pulse, loopy will
jump to the left finger's stage and cycle linearly up to the limit set by the right finger's stage.
If DIRECTION ='Reverse' on the ORDER screen : beginning with the next clock pulse, loopy will
jump to the right finger's stage and cycle linearly down to the limit set by the left finger's stage.
The LOOPY screen's LOOP PULSES setting further affects the loopy cycle. Specifically:
● If LOOP PULSES = ' A uto' , then all pulses assigned to the stages within the two Loopy end
points will play in the loop. This means the loopy length changes dynamically depending
on the number of stages spanned by the 2-finger loopy, and by the PULSE COUNTS of
those stages.
For example, assume each stage has a PULSE COUNT = 1, and you hold down the
Stage 1 and Stage 4 buttons. If LOOP PULSES = ' A uto' , then Loopy will play the following
pattern:
Forward : 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | etc...
Reverse : 4 3 2 1 | 4 3 2 1 | etc...
● If LOOP PULSES < the PULSE COUNT total of the stages within the loopy cycle, then
loopy will cycle after the requested number of pulses, and before it reaches the final
stage. In this situation, Loopy performs as if only 1-finger were used.
