TAP:
Tap TAP (HIT footswitch) rhythmically to
define a new tempo. While you are tapping a
tempo, the Preset Up and Preset Down foot-
switches will be lit in blue, indicating that you
can use them to fine-tune the tempo in BPM
steps.
–
SOUND:
Tap SOUND (Reverb footswitch) to
open a new sub-menu where you can choose
which sound the metronome should make.
When you have chosen a sound you like,
press BACK.
Metronome sound sub-menu
Metronome level
As you can adjust the audio output for the Main
Mix and Headphone Mix independently (see
“9. Mix knobs”), it’s your choice if the audience
hears the metronome or not.
Tempo and Metronome
As long as you haven’t recorded anything into
a Loop slot, you can freely define the tempo for
your loop using the TAP button.
Once you have recorded a Loop with the Metro-
nome ON, the tempo will be locked – meaning it
cannot be changed later. To change the tempo,
you would have to delete the Loop completely or
switch to another Loop slot.
If you record a Loop with the Metronome OFF,
you can still change the tempo later.
Sync sub-menu
Tap SYNC (the Double / Comp footswitch) to en-
ter the Sync sub-menu. In the Sync sub-menu,
you can define how VoiceLive 3’s Looper should
sync to a given tempo.
The options in the Sync sub-menu are described
below.
SMART
Select SMART to use all features of VoiceLive 3’s
LoopAssist™. LoopAssist™ chooses how and
when to trim and extend loops, based on what
you have already recorded.
Pressing the SWAP button will toggle between
Loop track B and Loop track C, making the
change when you reach the end of the current
loop. Loop tracks A and B or Loop tracks A and
C can play simultaneously.
SMART enforces a relationship between the pri-
mary Loop track (track A) and Loop tracks B and
C. In other words: Loop tracks B and C can exist
as a multiple (in bars) of Loop track A, but they
cannot be shorter.
See the QUANTIZE section below for a step-by-
step comparison between SMART and QUAN-
TIZE. It’s much easier to hear and see than to
read about!
