DigiTech JAMMAN STEREO - Using Auto-Quantizing Looping

Using Auto-Quantize Looping
There are two ways you can record loops using the JamMan
®
Stereo, free-
form looping or using the JamMan Stereo’s Auto-Quantize feature.
Free-form looping (see page 24) is the standard way loopers have been
used since their inception. You initiate recording, play, and then set the loop
point when you reach the end of your passage. The loop point is set exactly
when you press the pedal and the tempo for the loop is then calculated and
displayed. Getting an accurately timed and seamless loop takes practice but
offers the flexibility experienced loopers need.
Auto-Quantized looping makes getting accurately timed loop points easy.
Begin by first setting the Tempo you want before recording the loop’s first
pass. This is done by using the TEMPO/STOP footswitch (see page 42). Once
the tempo is established, initiate record, play in time with the set tempo, and
then set the loop point at the end of a measure.
If your timing was a little early or late when setting the loop point, not to
worry. The JamMan Stereo automatically adjusts the loop length exactly to
the measure length set by the Tempo and Time Signature.
