Looping Tips
When it comes to looping, practice is the key. You might notice that your loops have a small gap be-
tween the end of the phrase and when the loop restarts . This happens when you mis-time pressing the
PLAY/REC/O-DUB button. Pay careful attention to co-ordinating your button press to the down beat,
so that the loop beginning and end is seamless.
Experiment with exiting LOOP MODE and picking a different vocal sound for the next O-DUB layer.
You can get some great results by simply varying the sounds that are part of the loop.
When adding an O-DUB layer, you can record multiple passes of O-DUB parts without starting and
stopping the looper. This allows you to add numerous parts, which can all be removed with a single
UNDO action. (they can also be brought back by repeating the UNDO action)
Using a Switch3 will give you permanent access to looping without pressing the Up and Down foot-
switches. It frees up those switches to be assigned for Key/Scale selection, plus you don't have to go in
and out of loop mode to change presets . It times out automatically, so you can choose a new sound .
The Switch3 buttons are mapped as follows:
1. Rec/Play/O-Dub
2 . Stop/Clear (Hold)
3 . Undo
The benefit of having undo on a separate button is the ability to perfectly time your undo, rather than
waiting a moment for a Hold to be registered.
Note: When a Switch3 is plugged in, Key/Scale selection is automatically assigned to UP/DN . When the
Switch3 is unplugged, UP/DN remains Key/Scale and will need to be changed in the setup menu if you
wish to assign UP/DN back to Looping.
