will then swap this behavior; the original material will play forward again, while the material
that was overdubbed while Reverse was enabled will play backwards. Engaging the Reverse
button is subject to the Quantization chooser setting.
Feedback sets the amount of previously recorded signal that is fed back into Looper when
overdubbing. When set to 100%, the previously recorded material will never decrease in
volume. When set to 50%, it will be half as loud with each repetition. Any changes to the
Feedback amount won't take effect until the next repetition. Note that Feedback has no
effect in Play mode; each repetition will be at the same volume.
The Input -> Output chooser provides four options for monitoring Looper's input:
Always
allows the input signal to be heard regardless of Looper's playing or recording
state. You'll typically want to choose Always when using Looper as an effect in a single
track.
Never
means that the input signal will never be heard. You'll typically want to choose
Never when using Looper as an effect in a return track, where it may be fed by send
levels from a variety of other tracks.
Rec/OVR
means that the input is only audible when recording or overdubbing, but
not when Looper is in Play mode or stopped. This is useful for situations in which
you are feeding audio to multiple tracks, each containing its own Looper. If each of
these Loopers is controlled with its own foot pedal, you can switch the recording and
playback state while playing an instrument, without having to worry about monitor
settings.
Rec/OVR/Stop
allows the input signal to be heard except when Looper is in play mode.
This is similar to
Beat Repeat's
Insert mode, and can be used to record material that
can suddenly interrupt your live playing.
21.18.1
Feedback Routing
Looper can be used as both a source and a target for
internal routing
to other tracks. This
allows you to, for example, create Looper overdubs that continually feed back through
another track's devices. To set this up:
1. Insert Looper on a track.
