When [CYCLIC] mode is selected this feature allows you to capture and loop any section of the audio track, as
shown in the following example:

This feature allows you to be totally creative by selecting more abstract sections of the audio ‘on the fly’ without
being restricted to precise 1,2,4 etc beat sections as they appear in the audio track.

You can abort the loop recording process at any time during the recording phase

by simply pressing the selected [LOOP] button again.

Now try recording some more loops using the other loop pads. A total of six loops can be recorded and then played
back simultaneously or individually muted as desired. You can even mute/play other pre-recorded loops as another
loop pad is being recorded.

Aborting the Loop Recording:

NOTE: SoundBITE’s memory is non-volatile so please remember that all recorded loops will be lost after dis-
connecting the power supply.
