The JamMan
®
Stereo is designed to be very simple to use right out of the box.
This section explains how to record a phrase and play it back as a continuous
loop. You should have an instrument or audio device connected to the 1/4”
inputs or a mic connected to the XLR mic input before proceeding.
NOTE: The maximum loop time the JamMan Stereo can record or play is
10 minutes.
1. Select an empty memory location using the LOOP SELECT knob or the
LOOP UP/LOOP DOWN footswitches (the LOOP and SINGLE LEDs will be off).
2. (Optional) If you would like to perform to a guide track, you must set a
tempo. The rhythm guide track will not be heard until a tempo has been
set. You can set a tempo by tapping the TEMPO/STOP footswitch. Adjust
the RHYTHM LEVEL knob to a suitable volume. The TEMPO/STOP footswitch
will now be flashing at the set tempo (see page 42).
3. (Optional) Set the Time Signature to something other than 4/4, if desired
(see page 40).
4. Press the REC/PLAY/OVERDUB footswitch and begin playing or singing to
start recording. If a tempo has been set, there will be a single measure
count-in indicated by the TEMPO footswitch before recording begins. The
REC/PLAY/OVERDUB footswitch will then light solid red, the LOOP LED
will light, and recording will start. If no tempo has been set, recording
will begin instantly after the REC/PLAY/OVERDUB footswitch is pressed and
you begin playing.
5. When you are ready to set the loop point for your phrase, press the
REC/PLAY/OVERDUB footswitch to set the loop point and have the phrase
play back in a repeating loop. The REC/PLAY/OVERDUB footswitch and
PLAY status LEDs will light solid green.
6. Press the TEMPO/STOP footswitch to stop the loop playback.
Once you are finished recording, the STORE button will be lit indicating the
phrase must be stored to memory to be recalled later.
