The Loop zone
Click on the button "ON" to set Loop mode on.
The Divide knob allows you set the loop size.
Moving the knob one notch will halve the loop size.
The settings are 1/2, 1/8 and 1/4 of the pattern size, all the way down to the minimum
loop size: one step.
The Move knob allows you to move the beginning of the loop in one of two ways. Using
“Shift by one step” mode will shift the loop start to any given step of the pattern
(stepwise). Alternatively, you can move the loop in increments of the loop size (defined
with the divide knob) by using "shift by one loop size" mode. Right click on the Move
knob to choose the Move Loop mode: “Shift by one step” or “Shift by one loop size”.
