Operating Modes
There are several modes of operation that can be accessed using the various buttons on the unit. By
default, the LP2 powers on in the normal mode.
Normal mode
This is the basic operating mode of the LP2. The status LEDs indicate individual track status as
follows:
Blue Flash
The blue color is flashed at the start of the currently selected track. This helps indicate
which track is currently selected and gives an indication of where the loop beginning
is for that track.
Solid Blue
This happens when the currently selected track is empty.
Solid Red
This track has recorded audio but is stopped
Blinking Red
This track is currently recording.
Solid Green
This track is currently playing.
Blinking Green This track is currently overdubbing or replacing
The 8 LEDs on the right side provide additional status information:
1 (top)

3
Indicates that the current track is playing slower than normal speed
4
Indicates that the current track is playing in reverse
5
Indicates that the current track is track 1
6

7

8 (bottom) Indicates that the latest changes to the track are not yet saved to the microSD card.
Record/Overdub button in normal mode
The Record/Overdub button is normally a 3-way toggle:
•
On an empty or stopped track, the track starts recording.
•
On a recording or playing track, the track switches to overdub mode.
•
On an overdubbing track, the track switches to play mode.
A long press on the Record/Overdub button also depends on the situation:
•
On a stopped track, a long press will erase all tracks.
•
On a playing track, a long press will enter configuration mode. Configuration mode is also
accessed through a short press of the config button on the back.
