Cue Track
The cue function is used to mark a track as ready to play or record. When used on an empty track, it
prepares a track to record the next time that any other track stops. When used on a stopped track, it
prepares the track to begin play the next time that any other track stops. This can be used to switch
between sections of a song.
Replace
Replace records new audio while erasing the old audio in a track. Press replace once to begin replacing
and press it a second time to end replacing. The replace function may also be assigned to a MIDI note.
In this case, the replacement starts when the note is pressed, and replacement ends when the note is
released.
There are two varieties of this function: replace and original. The replace function replaces
while silencing the old audio that is being replaced. The original function continues to play
the replaced audio one last time during the replace.
Quantified Functions
There are some situations where it is desired to operate on exact time divisions of a loop. For example,
substituting one quarter note in a loop that makes up one measure in 4/4 time. In this case, a
quantization value of 4 will be needed to divide the loop in 4 pieces. In MIDI sync recording, we may
want to record an exact number of measures. In these situations, we use quantified functions.
There are three ways to set the quantization value.
1.
Each track menu has an option “Set Q Steps”.
2.
MIDI CC message can set the value for all tracks.
3.
Button programming can be used to assign a value at a button press.
“Set Q Steps” in the track menu sets the quantization value on a per track basis and saves the new value
to the configuration. This is the only method that is guaranteed to save to the configuration although
the other methods may save their value. Simply press ENTER when the track menu shows “Set Q
Steps”, then turn the dial to select the new value and press ENTER again.
By default, MIDI CC 126 can be used to transmit a new quantization value for all tracks. This changes
the configuration but doesn’t immediately save it. If you power off the LP1 before changing any other
configuration values, the new value will be lost until sent again. The main menu also allows changing
which Continuous Controller (CC) sends the value. The main menu item “Quant CC Num” is used to
set which controller can change the quantization value.
When programming buttons (see MIDI or USER Button Configuration), the options that look like
“Quant Value 4” will set the quantization for all tracks. This is similar to the MIDI CC behavior in
previous paragraph. Since each button can have multiple functions, you can set the quantization value
and then immediately run the quantized function from the same button.
