Operating the HL77
5
In Auto Recording Mode, the first time you press the footswitch, the HL77 will enter recording standby
mode, and the REC indicator will start flashing. The pedal will automatically start recording when it
detects an audio signal from the AUX IN or IN jack.
Note: Auto Recording Mode is only a temporary function for the current memory location. When you
switch to another memory location, the pedal will return to the default Normal Recording Mode.
Overdubs
After a loop is recorded, you can layer new phrases on top of the original recording. This is called an
overdub. To overdub a new phrase, press the footswitch until the PLAY and DUB indicators are lit.
Each time you press the footswitch the default sequence is Record - Play - Overdub. This can be changed
to Record - Overdub - Play.
While holding down the footswitch, turn the pedal's power on by plugging a cable into the OUT L jack.
The display will show " " for Record - Overdub - Play or " " for Record - Play - Overdub. To cycle
through the sequences, press the PATTERN UP or DOWN buttons. Once the desired sequence is select-
ed, press the footswitch to confirm.
Note: In order to record an overdub, the HL77 requires that the total remaining recording time must
be longer than the time of the current phrase. If the DUB indicator keeps flashing after you overdub, it
means that there is not enough memory to record the overdub. If the display shows " " the memory is
full and you will not be able to record to the pedal.
