Instant Access mode
Use the bank buttons to select Low (1-4) or High (5-8). When the display shows L, then
buttons A, B, C, D will control loops 1-4. Pressing either bank button changes the
display to H, now buttons A, B, C, D will control loops 5-8.
Save preset
To save the currently active loops as a preset:
1. Press and hold the SAVE button until LEDs blink.
2. Select the bank using
and
buttons.
3. Press the desired preset location, button A, B, C or D, to save the preset.
At any time you can cancel the save operation by pressing the SAVE button again.
Recall preset
To recall a preset, select the bank using
and
buttons. Pressing A, B, C or D will
recall the preset. The selected preset LED will briefly turn green, then LEDs 1-8 will light
red to show which loops have been activated for that preset. Once you release the
button, only the green LED corresponding to the selected preset will remain on.
Reveal
Once you have selected a preset, you can reveal which loops are active by pressing the
currently selected preset button A-D. While the button is held down, LEDs 1-8 will light
red to show which loops are currently active.
Loop Strip Method
With this method of operation, PX-8+ functions exactly like a simple true-bypass loop
strip. Buttons 1-8 will toggle loops 1-8 on and off. When a loop is switched off, the signal
is hardwired to the next loop with absolutely no tone degradation.
Presets using MIDI
Using the Loop Strip method, you can also save and recall 128 preset loop
combinations. You will need a separate MIDI controller or effect pedal capable of
sending MIDI program change messages.
To use this feature, see
SETUP: MIDI > Enable Message Types
(page 8) and enable
program change. This allows PX-8+ to respond to MIDI program change messages on
channel 1 (default).
Follow these steps to create and save a preset loop combination:
1. Send a MIDI program change message to PX-8+.
2. Use PX-8+ buttons 1-8 to set loops on or off for your preset.
3. Press buttons 1 and 8 at the same time to save. All LEDs will flash to confirm.
Sending the same MIDI program change message to PX-8+ will recall your preset.
