LOOPING
LOOPING
There are three different types of looping you can use in ITCH; Manual, Auto-Loop and Loop Roll.
ITCH automatically defaults to Auto-Loop mode. Loop areas show up green in the main waveform dis-
play.
AUTO LOOP
Auto looping allows you to create loops that will automatically sync in time with the music. This is great
for creating loops on the fly and other creative mixing techniques. The loop length can range from 1/32 of
a beat up to 32 beats long (8 bars) and is calculated using the tracks BPM value (tracks must have a BPM
value set for auto looping to be available).
Choose the loop length using the LENGTH knob on the Allen & Heath Xone:DX. The current
auto loop length is displayed beside the virtual deck inside ITCH.
Press the loop ON / OFF button to activate the auto loop with the selected loop length, which
is snapped to the beat closest to the playhead.
The length can be adjusted while the loop is active using the LENGTH knob. The loop is disabled by
pressing the ON / OFF button again.
LOOP MOVE / SHIFT
Press the left or right MOVE buttons to shift the selected loop region to the left or
right. It will move the loop region the same distance as the length of the loop itself in
the direction you select. The loop region length will remain unchanged. The loop will only be moved
when it reaches its endpoint.
LOOP ROLL
LOOP ROLL performs a standard auto-loop but when the loop is turned off the playback position is re-
turned to the position where it would be if it had not entered the loop (much like censor). The range of
values available for loop roll is 1/32 of a beat through to 32 bars. Use short loop lengths to create
“stutter” type effects. The other difference between loop roll and standard auto loop is the “roll” is mo-
mentary.
To activate loop roll press and hold down the LENGTH knob, releasing to turn the roll off.
You can change the loop roll length by turning the dial clockwise or anti-clockwise to select a longer or
shorter loop roll time division, even when holding down the knob.
The current loop roll length is displayed beside the virtual deck and is the same as the auto-loop length.
NOTE: When LOOP ROLL is selected when in a manual or auto loop, this will override the other loop
mode, and the track will jump back to where the playhead would have been as if you exited the original
loop when activating loop roll.
