Fadeout - Electro-Harmonix 1440 Quick Start Manual

EXT CLK Recording
For all EXTC modes, press play on the MIDI Clock master, then press the LOOP
footswitch on the 1440. Recording begins on the next beat 1 after the LOOP
footswitch is pressed.
When set to full external clock sub-mode (XT), you may also arm the 1440 to begin
recording at the moment play is enabled on the MIDI Clock master. First press
the 1440's LOOP footswitch, then press play on the MIDI master. Both the 1440
and MIDI Clock master will start at the same time. Note: This is not always
advisable since it can take a couple beats before the MIDI Clock tempo is stable.
EXT CLK Playback
When working in XT, the 1440 always starts playback upon receiving a MIDI
Start command.
When working with the beat clock sub-mode (CX), the 1440 does not start play-
back upon receiving a MIDI Start command. Instead it waits for the user to press
the LOOP footswitch and then begins loop playback on the next beat 1.
EXT CLK Overdubbing
You may overdub while the 1440 follows MIDI Clock in all EXTC modes. CX mode
allows you to go straight into overdub from idle: press play on the MIDI master, then
press the LOOP footswitch twice before the next beat 1 is received by the 1440.
1440 Tempo Blink
When the 1440 receives a valid MIDI Clock tempo, and EXT CLK is enabled,
the 1 SHOT button blinks on the first beat of each bar and the EXT CLK button
blinks on the other beats, in time with the received MIDI Clock tempo. In all
modes, the 1440 stops playback upon receiving a MIDI stop command.
Note: Ensure your master MIDI Clock's tempo is a whole number like 120.0 or
98.0 BPM. Fractional BPM tempos (ex. 120.6 BPM), might cause pitch flutter during
playback. The maximum MIDI Clock tempo the 1440 can follow is 240.0 BPM.
FADE – Fadeout Mode
Fadeout Mode is entered when "FADE" flashes on the display.
Upon stopping a loop, the 1440 can either stop loop playback immediately or
fadeout the loop volume over time. This mode allows for setting the fadeout
time ranging from "OF" (no fadeout) to 99 seconds.
The PLAY LED flashes quickly while a fadeout is in progress. When the fadeout
is complete, the PLAY LED remains off and playback is stopped.
An active fadeout sequence can be canceled at any time by pressing the LOOP
footswitch to resume playback, or by pressing the STOP [FX] footswitch to im-
mediately stop playback—if the footswitch is set for STOP mode.
The fadeout setting for each loop bank is saved independently. Once the
setting is saved for a particular loop, it remains until you change it. Fadeout
settings are saved upon stopping a loop. To save a fadeout setting, you must
either playback and then stop a loop or record and then stop a loop.
