Using the GNX4’s JamMan

™

Delay Looper

The GNX4’s recorder also doubles as a JamMan Delay Looper. The JamMan is used to create a recording

loop that you can playback with. The JamMan functions are accessed using the GNX4’s footswitches while

they are in Recorder mode. The only difference between regular multi-track recording and looping is the

way you use the footswitches after recording your first track.

When recording multiple tracks for a song,you would normally record your first track, stop,rewind,and then

set up for recording your overdub track. The GNX4’s footswitches provide hands-free operation for these

functions. But when you want to create loops on the fly that you can layer,you want the transition from the

first take to the second and so on to be seamless.

To use the JamMan feature of the GNX4 you must first have the footswitches in Recorder mode. To do this,

press Footswitches 4 and 5 simultaneously until the DOWN/UP footswitches are lit red. If you have

songs already in memory, you must select a new Song to record your loop to. To select a new song,press

the UP footswitch. A new song is defined as a song that has no previously recorded material present on any

of its tracks.

You are now ready to begin recording a loop.

Recording a Loop

Recording a loop is no different than doing multi-track recordings. Here are the steps for creating a loop:

1.Press the RECORD footswitch. The TRACK 1 button automatically lights red,indicating it is armed to

record, and the recorder begins recording on this track. The TIME display begins counting off the

recording time.

2.Just as you reach the end of your take,press the PLAY footswitch. This sets the loop length and

places TRACK 1 into playback. You can listen to what you just recorded, and the TRACK 2 button

will flash red indicating it is now armed and ready to begin recording on.

NOTE: If the RECORD footswitch is pressed instead of the PLAY footswitch after recording

the first pass, recording is disabled and the loop’s length is set. The TRACK 1 button

is still armed for recording (flashing red) but is now playing back what you just

recorded. You can now add material to track 1 rather than record on a new track by

pressing the RECORD footswitch to record on this track again. The new material is

added to existing recorded material. Until the PLAY footswitch is pressed, only

track 1 is available to record on.
