Troubleshooting
Problem Action
Recording does not end
immediately when you press
the pedal
If rhythm is on, or if you recorded a phrase that is shorter than the minimum recording time (approximately
1.5 seconds), the length of the phrase is adjusted automatically; this may mean that recording does not end
immediately when you press the pedal.
Recording started
immediately even though
Auto recording mode is
selected
If due to distortion or other causes there is a signicant amount of noise, that noise may be enough to
trigger the beginning of recording. Reduce the noise, for example by lowering the distortion level.
Cannot change the playback
tempo
You cannot change the playback tempo in the following situations.
• If the phrase has not been saved.
• While phrases are being switched (PLAY indicator blinking rapidly).
• When you attempt to set the tempo for a phrase that is looped over an interval shorter than the
minimum recording time (approximately 1.5 seconds).
