Korg MPS-10 - Track Button Leds

MPS-10 - Using the Looper function
34
The four circles shown on the “LOOPER” side indicate the status of the four looper tracks.
For tracks in Play or Overdub mode, the green or yellow line inside the circle gets longer as the track
cycles.
Also, if the looper length has already been set in Rec mode, the red line inside the circle indicates the
looper length. Otherwise, “Rec” is shown in red letters.
The track length is shown at the center of each circle.
From the top page, you can set the length of all tracks that are in Sync mode.
When “Free” is shown, this means that the multiple for the track length has not been set beforehand.
With this setting, the track returns to the beginning after you finish recording, the recording stops
and then the track length is set.
Tip: The factory default setting is “x1”.
Track button LEDs
While overdubbing
The REC button stays lit during overdubbing as well, and the track button lights up yellow.
When you press the track button for a track that’s overdubbing, overdubbing stops, the track returns
to Play mode and the LED changes from yellow to green.
Playing
The track buttons for tracks that are now playing light up green. When you press the track button for
a track that’s playing, the track stops and the LED changes to dark green.
While stopped
The track buttons for tracks that are stopped light up dark green.
When you press the track button for a track that’s stopped, the track starts and the LED changes
from dark green to green.
If there are no tracks already playing at this time, playback starts from the beginning of the track.
If a track is already playing (for example, track 1) and another track whose button you pressed (for
example, track 2) is in Sync mode, track 2’s play position synchronizes with track 1, and track 2 starts
playing back from that point.
If the track whose button you pressed is in Free mode, that track will start playing from the beginning,
without reference to the current playback position.
Empty tracks are shown in gray.
Tracks that are stopped are indicated by text inside the gray circles, which shows the track
length.
Tracks shown in red are now recording.
Tracks shown in yellow are now overdubbing.
Tracks shown in green are now playing.
