Using Auto-Quantize Looping
There are two ways you can record loops using the JamMan
®
Solo, free-form looping or
using the JamMan Solo’s Auto-Quantize feature.
Free-form looping (see pg 13) is the standard way loopers have been used since their
inception. You initiate recording, play, and then set the loop point when you reach the
end of your passage. The loop point is set exactly when you pressed the pedal and the
tempo for the loop is then calculated and displayed. Getting an accurately timed and
seamless loop takes practice but offers the flexibility experiences loopers need.
Auto-Quantized looping makes getting accurately timed loop points easy. It begins with
first setting the Tempo you want before recording the loop’s first pass. This is done by
using the Tempo button (see pg 24) or Pedal Tempo (see pg 14). Once the tempo is
established, initiate record, play in time with the set tempo, and then set the loop point
at the end of a measure. If your timing was a little early or late, not to worry. The
JamMan Solo automatically adjusts the loop length exactly to the measure length set by
the Tempo and Time Signature.
