Undo; Varispeed; Inertia - Qu-Bit Electronix Stardust Manual

Functions: Primary Controls

9. Undo

The Undo button removes the last recording to the buffer. This allows Stardust to re-record the
previous loop layer without removing the whole loop up to that point!
Undo is activated when the button is released. And LED animation will happen under the
Varispeed encoder while the looper state saves.
Redo: Pressing Undo a second time after undoing the latest recording will reintroduce the undone
audio!
Undo and Frippertronics: Due to the nature of the technique, Undo does not operate while
Stardust is in Frippertronics Mode.

10. Varispeed

The Varispeed encoder and 1V/Oct input control the loop playback speed. Since this is a
varispeed control, the playback speed and pitch are directly connected to one another.
Turn the encoder clockwise to increase the playback speed and pitch up to 8x playback speed
(+3 octaves).
Turn the encoder counter-clockwise to decrease the playback speed and pitch to /4 playback
speed (-2 octaves).
Click the encoder button to return to x1 playback speed.
1V/Oct CV Input range: -5V to +5V

11. Inertia

The Inertia knob controls the amount of lag between user input and playback speed, resulting in
a tape stop effect!
The effect is off when the knob is fully to the left. As the knob is turned to the right, the amount of
tape lag ranges from short, vinyl stops to drawn out motor failures (max 2 second lag).
Did You Know? You can adjust the Inertia slope to dial in the ratio of speed decrease lag and
increase lag. Head to the secondary section of the manual to learn about Inertial Slope!
