6.7 CLIP Screen
The CLIP screen configures/modifies all of LoopAs 36 stored clips.
The active clip is displayed in the top-left corner (e.g. 1A corresponding to track 1, scene
A). The following operations are available on the top row of keys:
●
Key 1 (Len) allows to set the clip length. The length can always be reconfigured
without losing notes, even with the sequencer running. Available clip lengths are 4,
8, 16, 32, 64, 128 steps.
●
Key 2 is currently without function but reserved for the clip type for a later LoopA
revision.
●
Key 3 (Trn) transposes the whole clip. Tip: when this operation is active, press the
DATA knob and turn to transpose full octaves. This is handy during live
performance.
●
Key 4 (Sr) scrolls the track notes forward and backwards,, wrapping around at both
ends.
●
Key 5 (Zoom) zooms in the notes. For example a zoom of 0.5 speeds up the
sequence by a factor of 2.
●
Key 6 (Freeze) will reset all clip parameters to zero while keeping all notes in their
current place. It will also delete "offscreen" notes (e.g. if the sequence length was
reduced). Use this command to define an order to otherwise unordered chained
transformations. Example: there is a difference between scrolling, freezing and
changing the zoom level to first changing the zoom level, freezing and afterwards
scrolling.
