Undo and redo
When you overdub many loops, the
Loopa
®
doesn’t simply overwrite the loop each time.
Instead it keeps a copy of each recorded layer
which means you can remove layers to go
back to earlier recordings (undo), then restore
these layers to bring them back (redo).
This powerful feature allows you to create very
dynamic performances.
Undo is also useful to correct mistakes: if you
record something you don’t like, you can
quickly undo it before it gets replayed.
Note that the base loop (the very first loop you
recorded) is always preserved, so if you undo
as far as possible you will always get back to
this base loop.
Tips for using the
Loopa
®
The most important thing to master when
looping is the timing of the first (or base) loop.
This first loop defines the timing for the rest of
your performance.
The low-latency design of the
Loopa
®
means
you don’t have to compensate for any timing
delays added by the microphone itself. All you
need to do is practice the timing of starting
and stopping the base loop recording.
As soon as you press the
RECORD
button the
Loopa
®
will start recording. Similarly, at the
end of recording when you press the
RECORD
button, the loop length will be set and it will
immediately start to play from the beginning
of the loop.
As an example, if you want to record a 4-beat
loop “1, 2, 3, 4” where each number is on a
beat do the following:
•
practice saying “1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4” so the
time between 4 and 1 matches the time
between the other beats.
•
press
RECORD
at exactly the same time as
you start to say “1”.
•
press record again at exactly the same
time you start to say the second “1”.
By saying the start of the second loop (the
second “1”) you help to set the correct timing.
This second “1” won’t be recorded, but your
timing will be perfect.
