3. Now start recording a new loop as you would have in the previous version of
the software, by hitting the RECORD FSW. You will notice that the
RECORDING LED goes solid immediately. That means you are recording.
4. To stop recording the loop and set the loop length, hit either the PLAY or
RECORD FSW. If you hit the RECORD FSW, the 16 Second will stop
recording and go silent. If you hit the PLAY FSW, it will stop recording and
immediately start playing back the loop, in either Overdub or Play mode.
5. Overdub and Play the loop as you would have if it had been a Quantized loop.
Using the Increased Range Fine Slider:
1. Place the FINE Slide Switch into the “P” position.
2. Place the FINE Slider exactly in the middle of its travel.
3. Record a loop.
4. Enter PLAYING Mode, so that the PLAYING LED is lit but the RECORDING
LED is off.
5. Move the FINE Slider down to its bottom position, the pitch of your loop
should go up exactly one octave as well as the tempo doubling.
6. Move the FINE Slider up to its top position. The pitch of your loop should go
down exactly one octave, compared to the pitch you recorded it at. The tempo
will be half.
7. If moving the FINE Slider to either extreme produced pitches of more or less
than one octave, try recording your loop over, with the FINE Slider in a slightly
different middle position.
Important! Please Note:
• Non-Quantize Mode is accessed by moving the COARSE Slider to its Top
position: >32 Bars. To get the 4-Beat count-in back, move the COARSE Slider
to any other position (i.e. ½ ~ 32 Bars) and you will be in Quantize mode. In
Quantize mode you will hear a 4-beat count-in when beginning a new loop and
the loop length will quantize to the nearest beat as it does in the original v1.0
software.
• The different methods for recording a new loop remain the same in NQ Mode
as they are in Quantize Mode. For example, if you are in Overdub mode (the
RECORDING and PLAYING LEDs are lit solid) and you hit the PLAY FSW,
you will immediately start recording a new loop.
• While in NQ Mode, the FINE Slider still controls the tempo of the 16 Second.
The MIDI Out Jack will continue to output MIDI Clock. If you bring up the
volume of the CLIX, you will hear the metronome beat while recording, just
like in Quantize mode. Push the CLIX Slider down to its bottom position if
you do not want to hear it.
• When using NQ Mode, it may take some practice to produce loops that sound
and feel in time. Placing the FINE Slider somewhere in the upper 50% of its
18
range (from the middle to uppermost positions) will make it easier to produce
clean sounding loops.
• For best results in obtaining very short loops (< 1 Sec) in NQ Mode, push the
FINE Slider down to its bottom position. The minimum loop length in NQ
Mode is 1 beat. The length of 1 beat, in seconds, is determined by the tempo set
by the FINE Slider. The 16 Second’s tempo range is 60 BPM (FINE Slider =
top position) to 240 BPM (FINE Slider = bottom position). The minimum loop
length is therefore 250 mS. Maximum loop length is over 4 minutes.
