FIRST STEPS
First let’s create a new empty BANK
Press the Menu Encoder and the Menu will appear on the screen, select BANK then select NEW
We now have a new empty Bank in volatile memory
Everything done from now on will not be saved it you turn the module off, when you’re happy or ready to power
down open the Menu, select BANK and then SAVE, this will save all the contents of the BANK to the SD CARD and
will be loaded upon startup.
Set the [INPUT GAIN] until you see some LED activity and bring the [DRY VOLUME] knob up to hear the incoming
audio
Next let’s record our first loop,
Notice the Loop index displays “-” = No Loops
Press [NEW REC] or [REC] when you’re happy with the length of the loop press one of the following:
[REC] enters Overdub Mode
[PLAY] Stops recording and enters Playback Mode
[STOP] Stops recording and playback
Now the Loop index will display “1”
Let’s record a second loop,
Press [NEW REC] followed by [PLAY] when you’re happy with the length of the loop, this will stop recording and
start Playback.
Notice the Loop index will display “2”
Bring the [LOOP VOLUME] knob up to hear the loop playback
To be less confusing bring the [DRY VOLUME] knob down to hear only the loop playback
Now you can use the [LOOP SELECT] knob to switch between loop 1 and 2
You can also use the [LOOP PITCH] knob to adjust the playback samplerate
Now let’s process the loop playing through the granular engine,
Bring the [GRAINS VOLUME] knob up to hear the grains playback and use the control knobs as defined before to get
to an overall setting that you’re happy with
Now le’ts create a Preset,
Notice the PRESET index displays “-” = No Presets
Press the [MENU] encoder, select PRESETS and then select NEW
This will generate Preset number 0 (zero)
Now le’ts create a second Preset,
Use the control knobs once again to change the granular settings and then press the [MENU] encoder, select
PRESETS and then select NEW
This will generate Preset number 1
Now you can use the [PRESET SELECT] knob to switch between preset 0 and 1
Next let’s save this Bank with all it’s loops and presets,
press the [MENU] encoder, select BANK and then select SAVE, audio playback will stop at this point and will resume
as soon as it finishes saving all the data to the SD CARD. Once all data is saved a message will appear on the
screen.
You can now switch off the module all the data is safe.
For convenience the last Bank saved will be automatically loaded on startup.
