Ditto Stereo Looper English Manual 10
Creating loops
Recording your first loop
Important: On the following pages, operation
is described based on the default operation
mode of Ditto Stereo Looper (Record
loop > Playback > Record overdubs). You
can also use an alternative operation
mode. See Setting operation mode.
To start recording, press the footswitch once.
The LED will light up in red, indicating Ditto Ste-
reo Looper is in Record Mode.
At the end of the loop (for example, after eight
bars), press the footswitch again.
The LED will turn green, and Ditto Stereo Looper
will repeat the loop continuously. The LED will
blink every time Ditto Stereo Looper reaches the
starting point of the loop.
Your loop can be up to five minutes long!
Setting loop playback volume
To change the playback volume of the loop you
just recorded, adjust the knob labelled “Loop
Level”.
The Loop Level knob only controls loop playback
level – it has no influence on the signal from your
instrument.
Overdubbing
When you’re happy with your original loop, you
can start overdubbing.
To record another take (overdub), press the foot-
switch again while the original loop is playing
back. The footswitch LED will turn red, indicating
you’re in Record mode again.
When you’re done, press the footswitch once
more to quit Record mode.
Ditto Stereo Looper will repeat the loop with both
the original recording and the overdub.
Please note that the length of the loop will
never increase when overdubbing. When you
continue playing, you will simply create additio-
nal overdubs. You can record as many overdubs
as you like – there is no limit.
