Polarity
Sets whether the movement starts at the knob position and
moves up or down from there, or whether it moves towards
the knob.
Wiggle
Limits the range of the movement for small adjustments similar
to more typical modulation.
Random
Turns the movement into random steps that change precisely.
Sync
This handy little dip switch syncs the speed of modulation to
the loop length. This means that you will get the same type of
movement at the same part of the loop consistently, or you can
precisely select how long ramping takes. Once activated, the
Ramp knob chooses a subdivision or multiplication of the loop
length for the ramping speed.
CUSTOMIZATION
Loopers are personal devices, so several of the dip switches
are there to customize behavior.
Dry kill
Stops the dry signal from passing through (useful for studio
work, for example).
CV Clock
CV can be used for two different things with Blooper: sync, or
modulation. By default, CV will provide modulation (configured
in the same way as expression). By engaging the CV clock
dipswitch, the CV jack will instead look for a clock source to
sync to. Pressing the footswitch arms Blooper, but recording
will only be engaged (and disengaged) when it detects a pulse.
Playback will also stay synced to avoid drifting. If nothing is
plugged into the CV jack, Blooper will detect this and operate
as normal.
Play / Dub
Adjusts the default behavior when recording your initial loop.
In the standard position (Play), the loop will automatically go
into playback once you tap Record the second time (to set
your end point). By putting the dipswitch in the Dub position,
it will continue recording, going straight into overdubbing your
second layer. This can be useful for ambient music, for example,
allowing trails to be captured smoothly into the loop.
Bank A / B
These switches are for future additions to
the modifiers.
CONNECTIONS
MIDI
¼
” TRS jack. This can be used to interface the pedal with
a Chase Bliss Midibox. There is much more information
on this in the MIDI manual.
CV / Expression
The dip switches in the left bank allow you to control
parameters via Expression Pedal / CV. If you have
something plugged into the EXP / CV jack but do not
have any parameters selected via dip switch, you
can control the Volume knob via expression or CV. It
behaves like it has the “rise” and “bottom” sweep dip
switches engaged. The range of the expression / CV
is controlled by the parameter knob position and the
“Sweep” dip switch. This will increase the maximum
range of the expression pedal. This allows you to
control multiple parameters with an expression pedal,
but you can fine tune the range that you want for each
parameter.
Ext. Switch
Allows you to control Blooper’s left footswitch
externally. This might be useful if you want to use
Blooper on a tabletop. Plug any normally-open
momentary footswitch in and you’re good to go, it
takes control automatically.
Some of these concepts are much easier to explain
