1-Finger Loopy
The loop begins at the Stage button being held, and lasts for the number of pulses set in the
LOOPY Screen’s
LOOP PULSES
field.
Specifically:
1.
Enter and configure Loopy as described in
Enter and Configure Loopy Mode
2.
If the sequencer is currently stopped, press the
RUN
button (or use one of the remote RUN
options) to start track playback.
The eight stage buttons light up in a “Loopywave” of pink and blue, and the Action Display on
the screen reads “Loop Stage(s)”.
3.
Press and hold one of the eight Stage buttons.
Beginning with the next clock pulse, playback will jump to that stage, and the sequencer will
then loop
linearly
(honoring the
ORDER
button’s ‘Forward’ or ‘Reverse’
DIRECTION
setting) for
the number of pulses defined by the Loopy Screen’s
LOOP PULSES
parameter.
The
LOOPY (
∞
)
button will glow
blue
for as long as your finger is on a Stage button
).
The blue LOOPY button indicates you’re currently hearing the track playback via its
Loopy settings, and not its Track settings).
NOTE: If
LOOP PULSES = ‘Auto’
, then the 1-finger loop length is one stage, and the held stage
simply repeats, playing any and all PULSE COUNTS. The Auto option provides the most utility
when used with 2-finger Loopy patterns, discussed later.
4.
Lift your finger, then press and hold a different Stage button to shift the loopy region to begin at
that stage.
5.
Release the held Stage button.
Loopy returns to playing your original sequence at the point it would be at had Loopy not been
triggered.
