6.1 SETUP Screen
Within the SETUP screen, basic runtime parameters of the LoopA can be modified.
Changes are directly saved to the SD card file called “setup.txt”, which can also be edited
manually in a text editor. To move an active configuration over to another LoopA, copy this
file to the new SD card root.
In the setup screen, use the lower-left SELECT knob to scroll through the configuration
items and to select an active item. Use the upper-row keys below the OLED to select
parameter values and either simply “toggle” them by pushing the respective upper-row
key (e.g. toggle Beat LEDs “on” or “off”), or if a value is selected, use the lower-right
VALUE knob to change settings (e.g. change the OLED Screensaver activation time).

port/channel (or a user instrument, see below) and define the notes to be played
when a measure and a beat begins
●
MCLK IN/OUT: toggles MIDI clock input and output devices, where DIN are
standard MIDI ports and USB are virtual USB devices. Be careful to not accidentally
create a MIDI clock loopback, which might occur if other devices are echoing the
