HEADRUSH Looperboard - Track Length and Quantize Tab

21
Track Length and Quantize Tab:
Track Length: This setting enables you to predetermine the length of a looper track. Use the
On/Off switch to enable/disable this feature. You can then tap the field to the right of the
On/Off switch and use the encoder to set this parameter to AUTO or 1-64 bars.
When set to AUTO, HeadRush Looperboard determines the tempo of your loop based on the
first recorded looper track. Any additional tracks also set to AUTO will match the same length
as the first recorded track. The loop tempo can still be changed after it has been automatically
detected by the first recording.
When set to 1-64 Bars, HeadRush Looperboard will set that individual track to be that specific
length of bars, based on the loop’s current tempo.
If you are using the FIXED looper mode, there will be one TRACK LENGTH setting where you
can set the length for all four looper tracks at once. If you are using the other looper modes
(SERIAL, SYNC, SERIAL-SYNC, FREE) you can select TRACK LENGTH for all four tracks
individually.
When using the SYNC and SERIAL-SYNC looper track modes, the TRACK LENGTH setting
will only apply to the first recorded track. This is to stay consistent with the existing rules of
these modes and ensure that all other looper tracks are either the same length, or a multiple of
its length. In this case, AUTO will be selected for all tracks recorded after the first track. The
looper track’s length will be quantized to a number of bars indicated as “AUTO (Bars)”. The
only exception to this rule is when track lengths are set to be half, double or quadruple of each
other.
When the first recorded looper track is set to AUTO, and the CLICK is OFF, HeadRush
Looperboard will automatically detect the tempo and number of bars of this track. If the CLICK
is ON, HeadRush Looperboard will automatically detect the number of measures and leave the
tempo unchanged.
When the first recorded looper track is set to 1-64 BARS, and the CLICK is OFF, the tempo will
be calculated and set automatically. If the CLICK is ON, HeadRush Looperboard will finish
recording the first layer and start overdubbing after reaching the set number of bars.
This track length function is only available if MIDI CLOCK RECEIVE is set to OFF on the
second page of Global Settings.
Quantize: This setting determines the quantization of the start and end points of your loop, if
any. Set this to On to enable quantization. Tap the time division to the right and then use the
encoder to set the amount of quantization, to the nearest 1 bar, 1/2 note, 1/4 note, 1/8 note or
1/16 note. Set this to Off to disable quantization.
