Accessing the Looper

You can access the looper UI by holding the key selection encoder from the home screen.

Using the Looper

Modes

Count in

Opening the looper UI immediately puts it in "Count in" mode. Count in mode will count you into the loop from a countdown in the top left corner. Click the encoder before the countdown ends to cancel the looper. Once the countdown reaches 0 the looper will move into "Recording" mode.

💡TIP: Set the time it takes to count in from the Looper menu (more details in "Looper Settings" below).

Recording

In "Recording" mode the looper will be armed and listening for notes/chords/effects to capture. Click the encoder at any time to stop recording and enter "Ready" mode. Once the on-screen bars completely fill in the recording will automatically stop and the looper will enter "Play" mode.

Play

In "Play" mode the looper will playback everything it captured in Recording mode. Click the encoder at any time to stop the playback and enter "Ready" mode. Pressing both thumbsticks down will put the looper in "Overdub" mode.

💡TIP: Use the thumbsticks/knobs in Play mode to manipulate the recorded loop on the fly.

Overdub

In "Overdub" mode you can add notes/chords to your existing loop. After adding the desired notes/chords, simply press both thumbsticks down again to go back to Play mode and hear your additions. 

Ready

In "Ready" mode you can clear the current loop by pressing and holding the encoder, or re-arm the loop by double clicking the encoder.

Idle

In "Idle" mode you can click the encoder to arm the looper and enter "Recording" mode, or press and hold the encoder to exit the looper UI.

💡TIP: Turn the encoder in Idle mode to add or remove bars before recording.
