Looping Record Mode

is the default mode.

•

In

One-Shot Record Mode

, a loop must be recorded to determine

the size of the loop. Any further recording will start from the current
playback position and will record for the duration of time set by
the first loop along with the

Start

and

Length

parameters. Once

the determined duration of time is met, recording will automatically
stop.

One-Shot Record Mode

is indicated by an illuminated

mixed amber and white

Record Button

when

Input Monitoring

Enabled Mode

is active, a pulsing mixed amber and white

Record

Button

when

Armed Input Monitoring Mode

is active, and an

unilluminated

Record Button

when

Input Monitoring Disabled

Mode

is active.
