OTHER LOOP EDIT FEATURES

LOOP OUTPUT LEVEL

LOOP SYNCHRONISATION ADJUSTMENTS - INDIVIDUAL LOOPS

These additional features allow you to control the output level of the loop samples and vary the synchronisation of
the loops in relation to the incoming audio.

When a loop has been recorded you can adjust its output level if desired - e.g. the Automatic Gain Control may
boost quieter passages and so this feature lets you trim the level to suit. To boost/cut the output level of a loop, first
press and hold down the [LOOP] button when it is in

mode (indicator ON), as shown in the following

example:

RANGE = -20dB to +6dB (due to display limitations the two lowest settings are indicated as -EdB (-16) and -FdB
(-20)

To increase/decrease the volume simply rotate the [SHIFT LOOPS/EDIT] jog dial

the

[LOOP] button. To exit this mode simply release the [LOOP] button.

You can use this feature to manually adjust the synchronisation of each loop independently. This may be necessary
if the BPM engine loses input beat information during a track and the loop starts to drift-out of synchronisation or
you may wish to creatively move the relative position of individual loops (try moving a loop half a beat compared to
the input audio/other loops to achieve a new syncopated rhythm).

To adjust the synchronisation point of an individual loop, first press and hold down the [LOOP] button when it is in

mode (indicator OFF), as shown in the following example:
