Turning On the Power
Inserting a connecting plug into the OUTPUT L jack turns on the power to the unit.
Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.

• This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally.

Basic Operation

Selecting the Current Track
There are two tracks for phrase memories, and the track that is currently selected is called the "current track." Recording and overdubbing can be performed only on the current track. If you switch the current track during overdubbing, the track will switch to playback.

• You can't switch the current track during recording.

You can switch the current track as follows.

Press the [SELECT] button for TRACK 1 or TRACK 2
The [SELECT] button you pressed will light, and that button's track will become the current track.

Hold down the right pedal for two seconds or longer
The current track will switch when you hold down the right pedal for two seconds or longer.

Starting the two tracks simultaneously
When you press the left pedal for a phrase that contains data, only the current track will start playback. If data exists in both track 1 and track 2, simultaneously pressing the track 1 and track 2 [SELECT] buttons while stopped (or using the right pedal to switch tracks several times) will cause the two buttons to light. If you start playback from this state, the two tracks will start simultaneously. After starting, track 1 will be the current track.

NOTE

• While phrase memory is being read, the PLAY (green) indicator will blink rapidly. Never turn off the power while the PLAY indicator is blinking rapidly.
  
• The minimum recording time for a loop phrase is approximately 1.5 seconds. If you press the pedal within approximately 1.5 seconds after you start recording, recording will continue until the phrase is at least approximately 1.5 seconds long.
• The maximum recording time for a loop phrase is approximately 3 hours (total for all phrases). When the maximum recording time is exceeded, the display will show " FL " to indicate that internal memory is full, and recording or overdubbing may end before you intended. If this occurs, delete unneeded phrases and then try the operation again.
• If you use the Memory Shift function before saving a phrase, that phrase will be erased. For details on how to save a phrase.

Saving a Phrase
If you select a different phrase memory or turn off the power after recording or overdubbing, the phrase you recorded will be lost. If you want to keep the phrase, you must save it.

1. While playback is stopped, press the [WRITE] button.
   The display will indicate " " (wr).
2. Use the [ ] / [ ] buttons to specify the save-destination phrase memory.
   You can skip this step if you want to save to the currently selected phrase.
   You can't select a phrase memory in which a phrase has already been saved.
   The maximum recording time is a total of approximately 3 hours for all phrases (including the phrase that has not been saved). If the phrase cannot be saved because there is insufficient free memory, the display will indicate "" alternately with the phrase memory number. In this case, delete unneeded phrases and then try the operation again.
3. Press the [WRITE] button once again; the phrase will be saved.
   If you decide to cancel the save operation, press any button other than [WRITE], [ ], or [], or press a pedal.

Recording with the rhythm sound
If you record while the rhythm sound is on, recording will start from the beginning of the measure the instant you press the pedal to initiate recording.
By using the "Count-in recording" function, you can start recording after the rhythm sound has played back for one measure.
Regardless of the timing at which you press the pedal to end recording, the length of the phrase will automatically be adjusted to units of one measure.

Recording without the rhythm sound
If you record while the rhythm sound is off, the tempo of the phrase will be automatically specified after recording has ended.
The automatic tempo setting is calculated by assuming that you have recorded "1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ... measures in the specified time signature."

Using LOOP FX

You can apply an effect to the phrase playback. The effect will be applied in synchronization with the tempo of the phrase.
