LOOPER
In default mode, pressing footswitch 3 and the CTRL footswitch together will open the looper menu.
The progress bar at the top will be shown in red during recording and
overdubbing. It will be shown in green in play mode.
Footswitch 1 controls half speed playback. Footswitch 2 controls
reverse playback. These footswitch controls correspond with the 1/2
SPD and REV buttons on the touchscreen.
When you record phrases with drum rhythms, you can sync drum
rhythms to your loop phrase by turning on drum sync switch. Please
note that some unusual operations (e.g. randomly play/stop
looping/drum machine or change drum style/tempo) may break the
sync status. Switching 1/2 SPD and REV on/off won't affect this.
You can use "Footswitch X" (X=1-4, corresponding to FS 1,2,3 and CTRL)
to assign function of footswitch in looper page. The function includes
the following:
Rec/Play: Tap to recording, then tap again to start playback
Drum Rec/Play: Start drum when starting to record
Stop/Clear: Tap to stop recording and hold to clear
Drum Stop/Clear: Stop drum when stop recording
FX: Tap to toggle 1/2 speed function. Hold to toggle reverse function.

REV: On (White LED on)/Off (White LED off)
