while you playback a loop. This allows you to layer
your own playing onto the playback.

When you start playing your bass, recording will
begin automatically, and the pedal indicator will

LOOP1: The pedal will control the playback vol-
ume.
LOOP2: The pedal will control the length of the
loop. The loop will become shorter as you
return the pedal, and at the minimum
length the loop will not playback at all.
The recorded sound will be cleared (erased)
when the program is changed, when the AX1B
is bypassed or muted, when the effect type is
changed or when the power is turned off.
For SAMPL1/2, the recording time is 0.9 seconds for
hi-fi sound or 1.8 seconds for lo-fi sound. For LOOP1/
2, the recording time is 0.26–1.8 seconds (in approxi-
mately 0.05 second steps). (

Edit mode. For details refer to p.15, “PEDAL (Expres-
sion Pedal)”.
●
Calibrating (adjusting) the expression pedal
The operating range of the expression pedal can be
adjusted. If you find that the sensitivity of the expres-
sion pedal is not to your liking, you can perform this
adjustment so that the pedal operates ideally. You
should perform the adjustment described below if fully
advancing the pedal does not produce the maximum
effect, or conversely, if it is not possible to turn off the
effect fully.
When calibrating the pedal, use your hand to
operate the pedal. Accurate adjustment may
not be possible if you use your foot to operate
the pedal.

The LCD will indicate “PEDAL” for approximately
one second, and then indicate “MIN”.

Slowly move the pedal back. When it stops,
take your hand off the pedal and press the
VALUE [+] key.
The LCD will change from “MIN” to “MAX”.
If you press the VALUE [-] key during the cali-
bration operation, calibration will be halted. The
power-on display will appear, and you will be in
Play mode.

Slowly move the pedal forward. When it stops,
take your hand off the pedal and press the
VALUE [+] key.
The LCD will display “COMPLT” for approximately
one second. Then the initial power-on screen will
appear, and you will be in Play mode.

press slowly
After the calibration has been set, check the op-
eration of the pedal at the MIN and MAX posi-
tions.
Check the operation by selecting an effect type
that has a clearly audible result, such as the ef-
fect type VOLUME, and verify that the MIN level
is produced for a value of 0.
If the calibration operation fails, the LCD will in-
dicate “ERROR”, and you will return to the dis-
play before calibration (“MIN”). If repeated at-
tempts are unsuccessful, it is possible that the
AX1B has malfunctioned. Contact a Korg ser-
vice center or your dealer.
