These numbers allow you to choose the
number of MIDI quarter-notes in a loop when
you are working with a drum machine, or a
sequencer.
RESET, MUTE and REPLACE can be auto-
mated to start at the loop boundary by selecting
PHRASED LOOP. In PUNCH IN LOOP, these
functions will occur on your manual trigger.
JamMan sends out MIDI clock signals in
the tempo established by your loop, allowing
sequencers, drum machines, or other Jam-
Man units to sync to
your tempo. Alterna-
tively, you can send MIDI Clock to JamMan,
allowing you to capture loops which are
perfectly timed to the MIDI tempo.
To get started in LOOP mode, connect an
audio source to JamMan and,
1. Turn the Mode knob to
PUNCH IN LOOP
and set it to 4.
2. Set the front panel MIX
control halfway
between DRY and WET .
JamMan provides two versions of its
LOOP mode, PUNCH IN and PHRASED.
These are differentiated primarily by whether
you want the overdub functions you’ve se-
lected to occur immediately, or at the start of
the next musical phrase.
Either mode allows you to play a loop of
any length (up to the memory capacity of the
unit), which will replay indefinitely with no
degradation of audio quality. Once a loop is
recorded, you can add as many layers as
you like. Depending on your choice of initial
loop length, multiple loops (as many as eight)
can be created and selected for play, or
layering. Mute, replace, and cue functions
are also available.
