29. Loop In- is the point where you wish the loop to start. A loop is any area of a CD that you choose to
repeat seamlessly. The initial “CUE” or “PLAY” point of the CD is by default the “Loop In” point. If you
wish to set a new loop-in point, just press “Loop In” while the CD is playing when it reaches the desired
point. The “Loop In” button will light indicating a new loop is set. The “Reloop/Stutter” button will also
illuminate indicating a point has been set and is accessible for “Stutter”. The unit will always remember
a point until you set a new point or put in a new CD. The new point will be accessible until you remove
the CD from the unit. If you change tracks and you previously set a “Loop In” on another track, pressing
“Reloop” will jump to that point.
If you wish to change the loop-in point, just press “Loop In” again.
30. Loop Out - sets the end point of the loop. The first time you press “Loop Out” while a CD is in play
mode, the “Loop Out” button will turn on and flash while the song automatically returns to the “Loop In”
point with no breaks and continues to play. When the song reaches the “Loop Out” point again, it jumps
to the “Loop In” point and continues to repeat this action. You will notice the “Loop In” button will also
be flashing during loop action. To release, or end the loop, press “Loop Out” a second time and play will
continue forward when the song passes the previously set “Loop Out” point. The “Loop Out” button will
be lit solid indicating that the loop is now in memory for “Reloop” purposes. The “Loop Out” point will be
erased if “Loop In” is pressed or a new “Cue” point is set after the “Loop Out” point. This is important
because without this point, “Reloop” will not be possible.
31. Reloop/Stutter- repeats play “stutters” from the “Loop In” point. If a loop has been set, it plays and
repeats a previously set loop, until it is released by “Loop Out”.
32. Smart Loop – makes the Beatkeeper and loop buttons work together to create loops synchronized to
the beat. First, properly align the Beatkeeper™ to the beat. After this has been done, all loop points
and stuttering will be synchronized perfectly to the beat of the music.
33. Trim – allows the loop-in and loop-out points to be adjusted. To adjust a point, press “Trim” followed by
the button of the point you wish to adjust (LOOP IN, LOOP OUT, RELOOP), then rotate the “jog wheel”.
When used with “Reloop” the unit will shift the entire loop by moving both the loop-in and loop-out
points at the same time.
When used with “Smart Loop”, the unit will adjust all points in 1-beat increments.
34. Shift (-,+) – adjusts the loop length by half length or double length increments. During “Smart Loop”
this will be limited to a minimum of 1 beat.
35. Length LEDS – Shows the length of the loop based upon “the Beatkeeper” setting. The middle LED is 4
beats.
