Notes about using the metronome
If the Metronome is set to On or Shh and a loop is present,
playback will wait until the next beat before commencing. In
that case, the Loop button LED will flash temporarily to show
that playback is waiting for the next beat.
Once you have recorded a loop and the metronome is set to
On or Shh, you cannot change Tap Tempo anymore – trying to
do so will result in a “Loop Synched” message. This is to ensure
that Delay and Rhythm effects stay in sync with your loop. To
change Tap Tempo, set Metronome to Off.
When you have recorded a loop using the metronome, and
you have switched off the metronome later, changing Tap Tempo
results in the metronome and the timing of your loop going out
of sync. To restore Tap Tempo-to-loop sync after Tap Tempo has
been changed:
– Set the metronome to Off.
– Tap the tempo of your previous recording.
If you can’t get the tempo just right, you can trim it to the
exact BPM value using the Arrow buttons (you’ll need to
have remembered the initial tempo).
– Set metronome to On or Shh.
– Press the Play button.
Transport will wait until the next beat before starting.
Recording multitrack loops
In the “Overdubbing” section of this chapter, we said that when
overdubbing, all your overdubs are “baked” into one single loop.
You can always undo the immediately preceding recording (see
“Undo”) – but other than that, you cannot mute or delete a
particular take.
Now if you want more flexibility, you’ll like the loop layers
feature of the VoiceLive Touch 2. It allows you to work with six
independent loop layers in selectable slots that allow you to
individually delete, undo and reverse them to your heart’s con-
tent. These six distinct loop layers share the same loop length
– but other than that, you have all creative freedoms.
Recording your first multitrack loop
– Start by recording a loop. This will serve as your base layer.
This first loop will define the length of the resulting multi-
track loop. If you want to change the length, you’ll have to
erase the loop and start again – see “Erasing loops”.
– Press the Loop mode button.
When the Loop Tools page is displayed, press the Loop
mode button again to bring up the Loop Layers page.
– Tap the Select mode button.
