Recording Loops To An Entire Song Sequence
It is possible to record all the initial loops to a song in one pass after all the song parts have been learned by the
TRIO+ and a song sequence has been programmed. This can provide a more realistic experience and organic
feel during the loop recording process. This technique works best if you have familiarized yourself with TRIO+
operation, have already worked out all the song parts, and are confident you can record the entire song without
mistakes.
To record loops to a sequenced song in one pass:
1. Teach the TRIO+ all your song parts as described in
'Teaching The TRIO+ Band' on page 17
.
2. For a more dynamic feel, program song part intensities as described in
'Programming Song Part Intensities'
.
3. Program the song sequence as described in
'Programming A Song Sequence' on page 21
. Make sure the
sequence is enabled (the SEQ button should be lit solid green).
4. If your guitar part starts on the first downbeat of the song, you will probably want to enable a drum stick
count-in. To do so, press and hold the currently selected PART button (the one that's the brightest) for 2
seconds. The PART button should now be flashing.
5. Press the LOOPER footswitch to arm the looper for recording. Note that if you didn't enable a count-in,
playing any note will automatically start the band and loop recording so keep your guitar quiet.
6. Press the BAND footswitch when you're ready to begin recording. If you enabled the count-in, you will hear
a 1-bar count-in before the song begins.
NOTE: If a loop has already been recorded to a song part, an overdub will be recorded on the loop —
indicated by an amber LOOPER LED. For example, if you have programmed a song sequence that plays
a song part more than once, overdubs will be recorded on the subsequent passes of the part. If this
occurs and you don't want to record overdubs to the part, simply keep your guitar quiet during these
passes.
NOTE: If you make a mistake, you can clear all loops recorded on the last pass by pressing and holding
the BAND footswitch for 2 seconds during playback. Alternatively, you can stop band playback and
clear the loop for each part individually as described in
.
