The looper function allows you to perform jam sessions while looping phrases recorded using a guitar or microphone, or play performance in real-time while
repeating overdubbing.
Basic usage of looper
1. Press the LOOP button (20) to enable record standby mode. (The LOOP LED blinks red.)
2. Press the LOOP button again or start playing the guitar to start recording. (The LOOP LED lights up red.)
The minimum recording time is approximately 0.25 seconds and the maximum recording time is approximately 45 seconds.
The sound being input via the AUX IN jack or the rhythm pattern is not recorded.
Depending on the equipment used or settings, recording may start due to noise even if you are not playing.
3. Press the LOOP button to exit the recording and playback the recorded interval. (The LOOP LED lights up green.)
4. Press the LOOP button during playback to start overlap recording, or quickly press the LOOP button twice to stop playback.
5. If you hold down the LOOP button during playback after overdubbing, the overdubbing is undone (the overdubbed phrase is muted) and is redone (the
mute is released) when you press and hold the LOOP button again.
Pressing and holding the LOOP button while playback is suspended erases recorded data.
6. If you press the LOOP button while playback is suspended, the recorded phrase will be played back in a loop from the beginning. Also, if you press and
hold the LOOP button while playback is suspended, the recorded phrase will be deleted (the phrase will be played back for a moment).
