Fractal FC-6 - LOOPER FUNCTIONS

33
5 FOOTSWITCH FUNCTIONS
Looper functions are used to operate the Axe-Fx III Looper block, which must be present
in your preset for these switches to do anything. Looper footswitches work exactly like
the front panel controls for the Looper, with all of the same interactive features.
See the Axe-Fx III Owner’s Manual for more on the Looper Block.
Looper functions have no congurable parameters in the FC. Their Mini-Display and Ring Colors are automatic,
though as with other switches, you can use a Custom Mini-Display Label and change the default Color.
Record (Red) Activates the Record Function. Remember that you can congure what happens
when you press the active Record switch a second time. Find “Record 2nd Press” on the
Cong page of the edit menu of the Looper block. When available, Overdub will also appear
on the Record footswitch. When in overdub, the switch LED ring changes to Yellow

.
Play/Stop (Green)
Once (Blue)
Reverse (Orange)
Undo/Erase (Purple)
Half Speed (Pink)
Remember that you can also use the Effect: Bypass function (see p.29)
to add a switch to Bypass or Engage the Looper block itself.
1 Unless you’ve changed the default color for the switch, in which case Record and Overdub both use the same color.

Default Color: Per Switch
For the tightest timing, use Looper controls as the Tap function of a switch with no Hold function.
