4. REVERSE Button and LED
Press the REVERSE button and the loop will reverse its
Playback/Record direction. The REVERSE button can be used
at all times except when recording a New Loop. The REVERSE
LED will light up when the Reverse function is active. If EXT.
CLOCK is activated and you press REVERSE while currently
playing or recording a loop, though the loop’s tempo will
remain synced to the external clock, the loop will most likely
lose its place. In the case where you are synced to an external
clock, we recommend you stop loop playback, toggle Reverse
mode, and then play the loop again.
5. PUNCH IN Button and LED
When the PUNCH-IN function is activated, Overdubbing Mode
will change into Punch-In Mode. While in Punch-In mode, all
audio previously recorded on the active track will be erased
when the RECORD LED is lit, no matter where the volume
fader is set for that track. The Punch-In function is useful for
fixing bad notes or mistakes. When Punch-In is active, its LED
is lit.
6. OCTAVE Button and LED
The OCTAVE button will lower the speed of the loop by exactly
1/2: the pitch will go down one octave and the tempo will be
halved. The OCTAVE button can be used at all times except
when recording a New Loop or when syncing to external MIDI
Clock. The OCTAVE LED will light up when the Octave function
is active.
7. QUANTIZE Button and LED
The QUANTIZE button toggles between Non-Quantize (NQ) and
Quantize modes. When the QUANTIZE LED is lit, the 45000 is
in Quantize mode. When you record a New Loop in Quantize
mode, the 45000 gives you a 4-beat count-in and then begins
recording. When ending a loop it will extend or truncate the
loop length to the nearest full bar. In Quantize mode you can
be sloppy about ending the loop, the 45000 will adjust the
loop length to the nearest bar yielding loops that cycle per-
fectly in sync with the CLIX metronome. All bars are 4 beats
long. In Non-Quantize mode, the length of the loop is defined
by the time between pressing the RECORD button (to begin
recording) and then the RECORD, PLAY or NEW LOOP buttons
(to end the loop). Please Note: when setting the 45000 to
EXT. CLOCK mode, we recommend you enable Quantize mode
otherwise the 45000’s loop lengths will not line up with the
MIDI master device’s bar lengths causing the loops to sound
out of sync.
8. EXT. CLOCK Button and LED
Pressing the EXT. CLOCK button will enable the 45000 to syn-
chronize to external MIDI Clock messages received at its MIDI
IN jack. With each press of the EXT. CLOCK button, it cycles
through one of three modes of synchronization:
LED Off: The 45000 uses its internal clock for loop speed.
The TEMPO slider sets the speed. This is the mode to use if
the 45000 is used on its own or will be the MIDI Clock mas-
ter for a slave device.
LED Lit: Full external clock mode. The 45000 synchronizes to
an external device’s MIDI Clock as well as responds to MIDI
Start and Stop commands. This mode is recommended for
most situations where the 45000 needs to synchronize to an
external device.
LED Blinking: Beat-Sync external clock mode. The 45000
synchronizes the loop tempo to the external device’s MIDI
Clock but ignores the MIDI Start command. The 45000 fol-
lows the external MIDI Clock and resets to beat 1 when MIDI
Start commands are received from the MIDI master but it
does not begin playback of its loop. When you press PLAY
on the 45000, it will start playing back from the beginning
of the loop, on the next MIDI Clock beat from the master
device. If you want your loop to begin playback on the MIDI
master’s beat 1, press the PLAY button just before you hear
beat 1 from the MIDI master.
