Free-Form vs Auto Quantized Looping
There are two ways you can record loops using the JamMan Solo XT, Free-Form
looping or Auto Quantize looping.
Free-Form Looping
Free-Form looping is the standard way loopers have been used since their inception.
You initiate recording of the phrase and then set the loop end point when you
reach the end of your passage. The loop end point is set exactly when you press the
<PEDAL SWITCH>
to stop the recording, at which time the tempo for the loop is
then calculated. Getting an accurately timed and seamless loop takes practice but
offers the flexibility experienced loopers require.
Auto Quantized Looping
Auto Quantized looping makes getting accurately timed loop points easy. To Auto
Quantize, you must first set the desired tempo. This is done by one of four ways:
1.
Use the
<TEMPO>
button to tap in the tempo (see “
Operation > Recording a Loop
(Auto Quantize)
”).
2.
Tap the tempo using an optional FS3X Footswitch (see “
Optional FS3X Footswitch
”).
3.
Set the exact tempo using the Tempo option (see “
Setup > Tempo
”).
4.
Enable the Pedal Tempo feature and use the
<PEDAL SWITCH>
to tap in the
tempo (see “
Operation > Recording a Loop Using Pedal Tempo (Auto Quantize)
”).
