Looper; Overdubbing With The Looper - Korg MPS-10 Quick Start Manual

MPS-10

- Looper

Looper
The MPS-10 features a four-track looper. With the looper, you can record the same sound that's output from the
MAIN OUT L (MONO), R jacks (what you play on the pads as well as the LINE IN/MIC IN input audio) for end-
less overdubbing.
While the looper is playing, you can use it to switch between KITs, for overdubbing sounds from different KITs or
playing different KITs while the looper is playing back. Since it doesn't matter which of the four tracks you record
first, you can start recording from any track.
Note: Note that the metronome can't be recorded.

Overdubbing with the looper

When you record tracks on the MPS-10 using the looper, this is called "Rec" mode.
To start Rec mode, set SW MODE to "LOOPER" on the top page in KIT mode.
In this mode, the track 1–4 buttons select the tracks. The LED colors indicate the current status of each track, with
the empty track button LEDs shown as grayed-out.
1
Press an empty track button.
For this example, let's press the track 1 button. The LED for the button of the track you pressed and the REC
button blink red, and the unit enters record standby. Press the same track button to cancel record standby.
2
Strike a pad or press the REC button to start recording. Strike the pads to play.
3
Once recording ends, the loop keeps playing, and overdub recording begins.
The track 1 button lights up yellow at the same time as overdub recording begins.
Tip: From the UTILITY page, you can set the length of the loop to initially record. Refer to the Owner's Manual (HTML) for
details.

Next, keep playing to record.
5
To end overdub recording, press the track 1 button during overdub recording, or press the REC button.
You can make overdub recording stop when you press the button.
