PLAY footswitch just a little late. No problem, with Quantize enabled, the looper will automatically cut
off the extra recording and give you a perfect four second loop.
To enable the Quantize feature, follow these steps:
1. Begin with the recorder stopped by pressing the
STOP
button.
2. Press the
SETUP
button until the BNX3’s main display reads:
quantize
.
3. Use the
DATA WHEEL
to turn the Quantize feature on and off. Quantize only affects delay loops
and does not affect songs.
4. Press the
EXIT
button.
Using the GNXFC for Recorder Functions
The BNX3 is equipped with a footswitch jack that allows you to connect an optional GNXFC for controlling
the BNX3’s recorder. This 3-button footswitch features functions for
STOP/UNDO
(switch A),
RECORD
(switch B), and
PLAY
(switch C). The GNXFC is an ideal companion for JamMan users as it allows you to
leave your BNX3 footswitches setup for changing presets or switching amp channels and effects on and off
while the GNXFC is used for both recording songs and creating loops.
Recording a Track
To begin recording a track using the GNXFC footswitches, follow these steps:
1. Press the
B-RECORD
footswitch. The TRACK 1 button will automatically light red, which will arm it
to record, and the recorder will begin recording on this track. The TIME display will begin counting off
the recording time.
2. Once recording is completed, press the
A-STOP/UNDO
footswitch. This stops the recording
process, and saves the track. The TIME display will show the elapsed time used and the TRACK 1
button will be lit green indicating it is now enabled for playback.
Using the UNDO Footswitch to Erase a Track
You can undo tracks using the GNXFC just as you can using the recorder panel. To undo tracks, follow
these steps:
Using Undo While the Recorder is Stopped
1. Press and hold the
A-STOP/UNDO
footswitch once. The BNX3’s main display reads
del trkx
,
indicating the last recorded track will be deleted.
2. Press the
A-STOP/UNDO
footswitch again within 3 seconds to delete the track. If the UNDO
footswitch is not pressed a second time within 3 seconds of the first press, the recorder ignores
the undo request and returns to its normal stopped state.
