Working with loops: Undo & Redo / Stopping / Deleting loops

Stopping loop playback/recording  
and deleting the loop

 

– To stop loop playback/recording and delete everything you 

have recorded, press the footswitch twice in short succession 
and hold down your foot on the second tap.

  The LED will turn off to indicate that the loop has been de-

leted. At this point, you can start recording loops from scratch 
again.

Deleting the loop when you are  
not recording or playing back

 

– To delete everything you have recorded, press the footswitch 

twice in short succession and hold down your foot on the 
second tap.

  The LED will turn off to indicate that the loop has been de-

leted.

  When you delete your loop from Ditto Looper, the device 

goes into True Bypass mode.

Storing the current loop

When you power down Ditto Looper and a loop is in memory, 
it will be stored automatically. When you power up Ditto Looper 
again, the LED will flash in green, indicating your previously re-
corded loop is available. Just hit the footswitch, and playback will 
start.  If you want to start from scratch, delete the loop as de-
scribed in the previous paragraph.

Using Undo/Redo creatively

Undoing and redoing overdubs can be used for more than just 
correcting mistakes. You can make your performance more in-
teresting by removing and bringing back sections. Here is a simple 
example:

 

– Record a bass line (loop cycle 1).

 

– Record some chords (loop cycle 2).

 

– Record a melody (loop cycle 3).

 

– Press and hold the footswitch to remove the melody. Impro-

vise or record something else.

 

– Press and hold the footswitch again to bring back the previ-

ously recorded melody.

Please note that undoing or redoing by using the footswitch is only 
possible during playback. Holding down the footswitch after stop-
ping loop playback/recording will delete the loop!

Stopping loop playback/recording

 

– To stop loop playback or recording, press the footswitch twice 

in short succession.

  The LED will start flashing in green to indicate that your loop 

is still in memory and ready for playback.
