Looper Function
The Sanpera Pro unlocks the Vypyr Pro’s looper, which features unlimited overdubs! There’s so much you can do
with the looper, so give it a try and have fun.
To start a loop, press down on the REC/PLAY button and hold it. The recording starts and stops when you lift
your foot off the button. This is far more accurate than starting the recording when you press down. The looper
lasts 30 seconds which is usually enough time for a phrase. When you are ready to end the loop recording, press
down on the switch. Again, the recording will stop and playback will immediately begin when you lift UP on
the switch.
Now, you have choices! Either you can play along with your recorded phrase, stop the playback, or begin add-
ing to it. Pressing STOP will end the playback, pressing REC/PLAY will start it again. If you want to add to the
phrase, you can just press REC/PLAY again to begin recording an overdub. NOTE: You are only recording to
the looper with the LED above the REC/PLAY button is lit RED. When that LED is lit green, then you in PLAY-
BACK mode and not recording anything. The LED above the STOP button indicates if there is a loop in memo-
ry. Holding down the STOP button will erase the loop so that you can start over.
With the Vypyr Pro’s looper, you can erase the last loop you created if you are unhappy with it. However, be-
cause of how the looper works, you must erase the last loop BEFORE it goes through an entire playback cycle.
In other words, if you record an overdub, then press the REC/PLAY button to end the recording and continue
playback, you have until the loop plays all the way through to erase the last loop. To do this, you must press the
REC/PLAY and STOP buttons at the same time. If the loop starts over, then it commits the last loop to memory
and it cannot be erased.
There is no limit to the number of overdubs that you can add!
A key feature to use with the looper is the LOOPER VOLUME (page 19, OUTPUT MENU, P2). Each time you
record a loop, it will record it at the level specified in that preset. This is so you can plan ahead for a performance
situation and commit to the looper each part at the level you desire.
HAVE FUN!!
