The S2400 can operate like an 8-track looper pedal, while still playing and recording patterns.
Press F4 in Pattern mode to enable Live Looping. The tracks in Bank D become Live Loops. Any
sounds previously assigned to those tracks will not play, but the machine will remember all of
the track data. If Live Looping is disabled (by pressing F4 again), Bank D goes back to its usual
behavior.
Set the input monitor source to the jacks to be recorded and looped. Set the input mix to Left or
Right to record a single mono input, set it to L+R Mixed to record a stereo input or two mono
inputs. Live Loops are recorded in mono. If input monitor input mix is set to stereo, the Live
Loop will record the same as L+R Mixed.
A pattern must be running or recording in order to record Live Loops, although it can be an
empty pattern. Recording happens in a temporary memory buffer. The buffer can be cleared, or
merged into the active Live Loop. After it is merged, the record buffer is cleared and ready for
more recording. The record buffer is automatically merged into the active Live Loop and cleared
when active Live Loop changes.
The A button is illuminated to show that the Live Loop has sound in it.
The B button is illuminated to show that the record buffer has sound in it.
Each loop can be up to 19.4 seconds, which is 8 measures, assuming 4/4 time and a tempo of
100 BPM or faster. If the pattern is longer than that, the Live Loops will be shorter than the
pattern.
Live Loop Controls
Pad: Set the active Live Loop and starts/stops recording. If the active Live Loop is recording, and
another pad is pressed, recording continues on the newly selected active Live Loop.
Shift+Pad: Live Loop settings and functions.
Erase+Pad: Erase one of the Live Loops. The erase menu can also be used.
A Button: Merge the record buffer into the active Live Loop;
B Button: Clear the record buffer (undo).
Mute/Solo: Turn the Live Loops on and off. Solo overrides muting, essentially muting any non-
soloed Live Loops. Multiple Live Loops can be soloed at once.
Shift+Mute/Solo: Turn the Live Loops on and off using the opposite of the immediacy setting for
that Live Loop.
Faders: Set the level of the Live Loop.
Top Knob: Change the filter cutoff.
Bottom Knob: Change the filter resonance.
Level: Toggles view between: Live Loop levels, Input Monitor scope, and Live Loop waveform
Pad LEDs
Green: Active Live Loop.
Red: Live Loop is recording.
Yellow: Live Loop is armed. Recording will start when the pattern starts playing.
