(4.5.4) MIDI Control
Sheeran Looper + can be controlled by incoming MIDI note or program messages sent by external MIDI
gear or from your computer (when connected to the USB port) via DAW software. External MIDI gear
must be connected to the 1/8” MIDI Input using the included adaptor, and may require additional
configuration on its own to correctly function with Sheeran Looper +. Consult the documentation for
your external gear for more information. Use the (4.4.10) Operation > Menu Screen > MIDI menu to
adjust the MIDI settings.
MIDI Clock Receive
Sheeran Looper + can be synced to the tempo of an external MIDI device (such as a drum machine)
while recording and playing your loops. To use MIDI Clock Receive:
1. First, make sure you have set the proper MIDI input Source and Channel in the Menu Screen > MIDI
page, and that the Clock setting has been set to On. When this is enabled, a 5-pin MIDI DIN plug
icon will appear on the display.
2. Once enabled, looper tracks will begin recording once you press the Record + Play (● + ▶) pedal
and the next MIDI Clock downbeat is received.
3. While recording the first layer, if you switch to playback or stop the recording, the loop end point
will automatically be moved to the last received MIDI Clock downbeat or next MIDI Clock downbeat,
whichever is closer.
4. During playback, a loop will begin overdubbing once you press the Record + Play (● + ▶) pedal and
the next MIDI Clock downbeat is received.
5. Sheeran Looper + will stop recording, overdubbing, or playback once the Stop () pedal is pressed
the next MIDI Clock downbeat is received.
Tip: Receiving MIDI Clock Sync works best when using properly cut loops. Loops that are miscut or
have odd or uncommon bar lengths may not work properly or cause unexpected results.
