Loop Section
In Pattern Mode
This feature allows you to specify a subsection of a pattern to loop. In a live
performance, you can specify a temporary region to loop while the pattern
is playing then turn off the loop to go on to the next section. This feature is
really useful for recording and editing, since you can set the loop to a
specific bar of your pattern in grid or realtime modes.
Loop Section is a temporary loop which is not saved with the pattern or
multisetup. Loop Section defaults to “off” upon pattern change. While loop
is enabled, the Stop LED will blink.
An interesting detail is that the loop can be set to jump across the start and
end points of the pattern. For example, let’s say you’re looping an eight bar
pattern. If the “From” point were set to 7 and the “Thru” point set to 2,
then the pattern would play bars 7-8-1-2, 7-8-1-2, etc.
