PRE-PROGRAMMING AND
EDITING A LOOP
LOOP IN PRE-PROGRAM
To pre-program your “LOOP IN” point either play
your song or search for the desired “LOOP IN” point
using the search and jog wheels. When you get to
the desired point press “LOOP IN”. If you wish to
edit this point turn the jog wheel until you find the
desired point. When you press play the CD will
begin play from the new “LOOP IN” point. This also
is the temporary new “CUE” point. If you then hit
play to listen to the point and cue to go back you
can continue to edit with the jog wheel.
LOOP OUT PRE-PROGRAM
To pre-program your “LOOP OUT” point play your
song until you get to the desired “LOOP OUT” point
and press “LOOP OUT”. To rapidly advance over a
long distance you can use the search wheel with no
center cue- jog. DO NOT USE THE TRACK
BUTTONS**. If the CD player is presently in play
mode, the song will return to the “LOOP IN” point
and continue playing the LOOP.
If you wish to precisely set the “LOOP OUT” point
while searching;
a. press “PAUSE” once only before you reach
the desired point, if you are currently in play.
b. turn the jog wheel until you find the desired
point.
c. hit “LOOP OUT” .
REVIEW YOUR LOOP
To review, press “RELOOP” only and the CD will
begin playing the LOOP from the “LOOP IN” point
so you may listen to the entire LOOP. DO NOT
PRESS PLAY OR YOU WILL SET A NEW “CUE”
AND “LOOP IN” POINT AND ERASE THE “LOOP
OUT” POINT! If you wish to advance quickly
through a long loop, use the search wheel only.
If you wish to edit this point again;
a. Press “LOOP OUT” to release the loop.
b. Repeat the above steps.
To review your loop while the CD is already playing
press “CUE”. This returns the CD to the
“LOOP IN” point, then press play.
** Pressing the track buttons puts the CD player
into an auto-cue mode. Multiple tracks are
often found for single songs on remix service
CDs. The track select mode automatically sets
new cue points and would set a new “LOOP IN”
point if set after the original “LOOP IN” point.
PLAYING YOUR LOOP
To return to the beginning of the song and play after you are happy with
the loop:
1. Press “PAUSE” to stop the play action of the CD or “CUE” to
return to the “LOOP IN” point.
2. Track backwards until you reach the beginning of the song.
(Remix CD’s often contain multiple track numbers for the same
song.)
3. Auto-cue to the beginning of the track will then occur. Once this
occurs your cue button will return you to this point until you pass
over the “LOOP IN” point. Then “LOOP IN” will be the new
“CUE” point.
4. The “LOOP OUT” LED will be flashing indicating a preset loop is
ahead and will be played when reached.
5. When the “LOOP IN” point is reached both “LOOP IN” and
“LOOP OUT” LEDs should flash.
6. The LOOP should occur as preset by you until you release it with
the “LOOP OUT” button.
7. Both “LOOP IN” and “LOOP OUT” LEDs should then go solid
again indicating the possibility of RELOOP.
NOTE: If you should decide that you do not want to automatically play a
preset loop after you start a song, just press “LOOP OUT” anytime before
you actually reach the “LOOP OUT” point and the “LOOP OUT” LED will
remain solid. (You can press it again before the “LOOP IN” point if you
change you mind.) The “LOOP IN” LED will come on solid when this
point is reached indicating the possibility of RELOOP. This will allow you
to use the selection for reloop purposes. However, until you pass the
“LOOP OUT” point the “RELOOP/STUTTER” button only acts as a
STUTTER function as explained in STUTTERING FFFUN.
If you turned off your “LOOP OUT” while practicing your loop, remember
to turn it on again before reaching the “LOOP IN” point.
ERASING YOUR LOOP
To erase presets loop either;
a. Open and close the door.
b. Press the program button twice.
c. Select a track, a new “CUE” point, or new “LOOP IN” point beyond
the “LOOP OUT” point.
d. Press “LOOP IN” prior to the old point to set a new loop
.
DESCRIPTION OF LED DISPLAY
LOOP IN on /LOOP OUT off: This means that there is a LOOP IN point
available for looping and stuttering, but no LOOP OUT point is set yet.
LOOP IN flashing /LOOP OUT flashing : This indicates that the CD
player is actively looping from LOOP IN to LOOP OUT.
LOOP IN on /LOOP OUT on: This indicates that the LOOP IN and LOOP
OUT points are set and a RELOOP will return to the LOOP IN to play
the loop.
LOOP IN off /LOOP OUT off : This indicates that:
a) There is a LOOP IN point stored into memory, but this looping
function and this STUTTER point are disabled until the music plays
through the point.
b) There is no LOOP OUT point set yet.
LOOP IN off /LOOP OUT on: A future loop has been stored into memory.
This loop will be inactive until either LOOP OUT is pressed prior to the
CD playing through the LOOP IN point or RELOOP is pressed after the
LOOP IN point.
LOOP IN off /LOOP OUT flashing : An active loop is stored into memory
and will automatically play after the music plays through the LOOP IN
point.
