Found a sound you like yet? Found a whole bunch of ‘em? So… lay them down! First, set the length of the loop:
1. Hold down the LOOP REC/PLAY button, and press the TAP/BPM button.
2. Turn the DIAL to change the length of the loop.
Now to record the first part:
3. Hold down the LOOP REC/PLAY button, and touch your finger on the pad to start recording.
a. It WILL NOT start recording until you touch the pad!
4. Either release the LOOP REC/PLAY button to stop recording, or it will automatically stop and play back when you reach the end
of the loop.
Next, to overdub:
5. To overdub (layer) another sound, just turn the dial to select a new sound, and then repeat steps 3 and 4.
a. Yes, you really can do this as MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT!
Note: To erase the loop and start over, just hold the LOOP REC/PLAY button, turn the dial until “Clr” is displayed, and then
release the button.
