To Dub, press the

Footswitch while the loop is playing or recording. The action of
the

Footswitch when dubbing depends on the setting of the Fdbk B control.
If you want to simply press and release the switch to Dub, set this control to one of the two
Latching modes. Dubbing will continue until you press

(or press record again to turn
dubbing off).
On the other hand, you may prefer to Dub only while you’re pressing and holding
the

Footswitch. To do this, choose one of the two Punch modes.
The Dubbing Mode choices are:
[D:LATCH] –

toggles Dubbing ON/OFF. Dubbed audio is added to the looped
audio.
[D:PUNCH] –

enables Dubbing while the footswitch is held. Dubbed audio is
added to the looped audio.
[D:REPL-L] –

toggles Dubbing ON/OFF. Dubbed audio replaces looped audio.
[D:REPL-P] –

enables Dubbing while the footswitch is held. Dubbed audio
replaces looped audio.

Speed / Varispeed: When the Loop is Empty, the Speed control lets you select the record
speed. A negative speed with Empty causes playback to automatically start in the Reverse

[AP:LOOP],[AP:RVDIR] settings on the Xnob / Playback Mode. The choices are:
[SPD: +/- 2X] – Double speed. At this record speed, the maximum loop length is 6
seconds.
