Ascend Dub
This is a special mode where loops are played and overdubbed in 2X speed, resulting in an ever increasing
pitch transposition. Using this mode will usually result in a surprising sequences of sound, one that you
may not expect, but most of the time is pleasing and even hypnotic. There is an element of unpredictability
that hits you like a freight train, but it's a collision that takes things into interesting and uncharted waters!
If you just want a standard looper, stay away from the Ascend Dub, but if you are into experimentation
jump in and have some fun.
Here's a typical sequence:
1. Record a loop track - press REC.
2. Play the loop - press PLAY.
3. Enter Ascend Dub menu - Hold PLAY button for 2 seconds.
> activate the Ascend Dub mode.
You will immediately hear the loop is now playing at 2x speed.
4. Overdub a new layer of sound.
5. Activate REVERSE effect if you wish.
6. Overdub some more layers if you wish.
Limitation -
the looper in the Solis Ventus has one limitation:
"Changing preset will stop looper playback and existing loop track will be erased".
This limitation may be removed with future updates. But we are not making any promises
at this time.
