If at anytime you are not satisfied with your current take while recording overdubs with your original
loop, you can undo it by pressing the UNDO footswitch. This erases the contents of a track and lets you
proceed with trying another take without having to stop. To use the UNDO function while recording a
loop, follow these steps:
1. Press the UNDO button once. The GNX3’s main display reads
rerecord.
2. Press the UNDO button again within 3 seconds to start re-recording. The display reads
undodone and the recorder returns to the beginning of the song and resumes recording on the
same track. If the UNDO button is not pressed again within 3 seconds of the first press, the
recorder ignores the undo request and recording continues unaffected.
Using Quantize for Seamless Loops
When recording loops, it is important that you set the loop length exactly so that your loop is seamless
from finish to start. Sometimes our timing may not be perfect when pressing the PLAY footswitch to set
the length. The GNX3 provides a Quantize feature that corrects these timing problems to the nearest
eighth note. Quantize looks at the point where you pressed the PLAY footswitch in relation to the
tempo you are using for your loop. Lets say you were recording a four second loop and you pressed the
PLAY footswitch just a little late. No problem, with Quantize enabled, the looper will automatically cut
off the extra recording and give you a perfect four second loop. To enable the Quantize feature, follow
these steps:
1. Begin with the recorder stopped by pressing the STOP button.
2. Press the SETUP button until the GNX3’s main display reads:
quantize.
3. Use the DATA WHEEL to turn the Quantize feature on and off. Quantize only affects delay loops
and will not affect songs.
4. Press the EXIT button.
Using the FS300 for Recorder Functions
The GNX3 is equipped with a footswitch jack that allows you to connect an optional FS300 for controlling
the GNX3’s recorder. This 3-button footswitch features functions for STOP/UNDO (switch A), RECORD
(switch B), and PLAY (switch C). The FS300 is an ideal companion for JamMan users as it allows you to
leave your GNX3 footswitches setup for changing presets or switching amp channels and effects on and off
while the FS300 is used for both recording songs and creating loops.
