Restart Mode
Depending on the selected Restart mode and your playing, you can restart playback
from the beginning of the loop.
You can select one of the following options:
Sync
To synchronize the loop to the tempo of your host application, activate Sync. The
Tempo control is disabled when Sync is activated.
Ö In addition, you can set the Restart mode to “Sync to Host”. This aligns the loop with
the beats and measures of your host application.
Tempo
When Sync is deactivated, use the Tempo control to set the internal playback speed
of the loop. The playback speed of the loop is specified in Beats Per Minute (BPM). In
addition, Tempo Scale gives you further control over the playback speed. The Tempo
control is inactive when Sync is activated.
Tempo Scale
This parameter defines the rate at which notes will be triggered, in other words, the
speed at which the loop is running. A value of 1/16 corresponds to the original speed
as specified under Tempo. Setting the value, for example, to 1/8 cuts the speed to
half. Setting it to 1/32 doubles it. Other values increase or decrease the speed
accordingly.
Swing
Use this parameter to shift the timing of notes on even numbered beats. This way, the
loop gets a swing feeling. Negative values shift the timing backward and the notes will
be played earlier. Positive values shift the timing forward and the notes will be played
later.
Start
This allows you to shift the start of the loop in steps of 1/4 notes. The length of the
loop is shortened accordingly.
Length
This parameter allows you to shorten the length of the loop in steps of 1/4 notes.
Ö The control range of Start and Length varies with the original length of the loop.
Gate Scale
This parameter allows you to shorten the notes that play back the slices. At a value of
100
% the slices play with their original gate length.
Quantize
This allows you to set up a quantization grid. You can force the timing of the slices to
play back only at the note value you select here.
Option Description
Off The loop runs continuously and will not restart upon note changes.
First Note The loop restarts when a note is triggered and no other notes are
already held.
Each Note The loop restarts each time a note is triggered.
Sync to Host Select this to align the loop with the beats and measures of your host
application. The loop aligns to the beats and measures each time you
start the transport.
