The most appropriate times to press the QUANTIZE button are
either just before pressing the NEW LOOP button or while the
45000 is in Record-Ready mode.
Pressing the QUANTIZE button while in the process of record-
ing a new loop will enable you to end the loop according to
the rules of the Quantize mode you just entered. For example,
you start a loop in Quantize mode so that you can have the
4-beat count-in but you want to end the loop in the middle of
a bar. You can press the QUANTIZE button while recording the
loop; when you press the PLAY button to end the loop, it will
end immediately, without finishing out the bar you are record-
ing or truncating the bar.
QUANTIZE mode has no affect on the state of the 45000 once
you have recorded a New Loop and established the loop length.
Stereo Mode
Press the STEREO MODE button to Toggle between Mono and
Stereo modes. Stereo mode is active when the STEREO MODE
LED is lit.
In Mono mode, one Track Select LED is lit at a time. In Stereo
Mode, the tracks will be selected in pairs, so either the LEDs
for TRACKS 1 & 2 will be lit or TRACKS 3 & 4.
You can change the STEREO MODE at any time. It is most
appropriate to press the STEREO MODE button just before
recording a New Loop or overdubbing tracks for an already
established loop.
You can start a loop by recording mono instruments onto the
tracks and then at any time, switch to stereo mode and begin
recording stereo instruments onto the track pairs. Conversely
you can start a loop by recording in stereo and then change
to mono.
Recording a New Loop
When you are ready to record a loop, press the NEW LOOP
button. This will put the 45000 into Record-Ready mode. You
will see the RECORD LED blink.
To exit out of Record-Ready mode, press the NEW LOOP but-
ton again.
Choose between Quantize or Non-Quantize modes.
Press the RECORD button to commence recording.
While in the process of recording a new loop, the following
buttons will be inactive: REVERSE, OCTAVE, EXT. CLOCK and
MIXDOWN.
Moving the TEMPO slider while in the process of recording a
New Loop will not change the pitch of the recording, although
it would if you were overdubbing instead of recording a New
Loop. We do not recommend you move the TEMPO slider
while recording a New Loop. After the New Loop is recorded
and the loop length established, you can move the TEMPO
slider all you like.
Ending a New Loop
To end a New Loop press either the PLAY, RECORD or NEW
LOOP buttons. Each of the three buttons will put the 45000
into a different mode upon completing the loop.
By pressing the PLAY button: the 45000 will automatically
enter OVERDUB mode, the loop will cycle back to its begin-
ning and you will hear what you just recorded on Track 1.
Both the RECORD and PLAY LEDs light up. When pressing
PLAY, the active track will jump to Track 2, so that you can
immediately start recording onto Track 2.
By pressing the RECORD button: the 45000 will go into Idle
mode and stop Record and Playback. Track 1 will remain the
active track. The audio you recorded on Track 1 is in memory;
you need to press PLAY to hear it.
By pressing the NEW LOOP button: the 45000 will enter Play
mode, the loop will cycle back to its beginning and you will
hear what you just recorded on Track 1. The PLAY LED lights
up. The active track will jump to Track 2, but it does not enter
Overdub mode automatically.
Notes on Loop Length and Compact Flash Card
The loop length is set automatically for all tracks in a given
loop number when you record a New Loop on Track 1. The
loop length for any given loop number is set when you record
your New Loop. It also means the loop length for all 5 tracks
are always identical to Track 1’s length. For example, if you
are recording a New Loop and it turns out to be a length of
10 seconds, the length of all 5 tracks will be 10 seconds. You
cannot record a longer or shorter loop on say Track 3 as com-
pared to Track 1.
Approximate Maximum Loop Length vs. SDHC card size:
4GB = 125 minutes / 2 hours, 5 minutes
8GB = 250 minutes / 4 hours, 10 minutes
16GB = 500 minutes / 8 hours, 20 minutes
32GB = 1000 minutes / 16 hours, 40 minutes
Each SDHC card can hold a maximum of 100 loops no matter
the size of the card.
Changing Loop Numbers
Each SDHC card in the 45000 can hold up to 100 loops,
regardless of the size of the card or the length of each loop.
The audio for the loops is always recorded and played back
directly from the SD card. If you buy a second SDHC card and
insert it into the 45000, you will gain access to another 100
loops.
To change loop number, we recommend you purchase the
optional 45000 Foot Controller, which is sold separately from
the 45000 main unit. The 45000 Foot Controller has a 2-digit
display allowing you to easily see the current loop number
or the loop you are changing to. In addition the 45000 Foot
Controller gives your feet access to the RECORD, PLAY and
TRACK SELECT buttons.
It is also possible to change loop numbers with MIDI or on the
45000 by itself.
Changing Loop Numbers With 45000 Foot Controller:
To change loop numbers with the 45000 Foot Controller,
press and release the LOOP UP or LOOP DOWN footswitches
on the Foot Controller. LOOP UP increments the loop number
by 1, LOOP DOWN decrements the loop number by 1. Press
and hold either LOOP UP or LOOP DOWN for more than 1 sec-
ond and the loop number changes by decades, going up or
down by 10 at a time.
You may change loop numbers while the 45000 is in Idle
or Play modes. If the 45000 is playing back a loop and you
change loop numbers, the Foot Controller will blink the new
loop number indicating that you are currently playing back a
different loop. The 45000 will change to the new loop number
once the current loop has played out to its end point. If you
want to change loops immediately, make sure the 45000 is
idle, then change the loop number and press Play. You cannot
change loops while in Record or Overdub modes.
Changing Loop Numbers On The 45000:
You can change loop numbers on the 45000 itself without
the Foot Controller or MIDI connected to it. The one downside
to this is that there is no indication on the 45000 as to what
