Once a loop phrase is recorded, you can change the playback tempo which speeds up

or slows down the playback of the phrase without changing its pitch (Time Stretch).

Time Stretching a loop is a very useful feature in case the band is playing slightly

slower or faster than normal or you just want to change the pace of a backing track

slightly. You can Time Stretch a loop while stopped or during playback. To Time

Stretch a loop, follow these steps:

Time Stretch a Loop that is Stopped

1. Select a previously recorded Loop phrase (LOOP or SINGLE LED is lit) using

the LOOP UP/DOWN footswitches or LOOP SELECT knob. The TEMPO/STOP

footswitch LED will begin ﬂashing at the phrase’s stored tempo.

2. Tap the TEMPO/STOP footswitch two or more times. Tapping quicker than the

stored tempo rate will speed up playback while tapping slower than the stored

tempo rate will slow down playback.

3. To return to the original tempo, press and hold the TEMPO/STOP footswitch for

two seconds and the phrase will return to the original stored tempo.

Time Stretch a Loop that is Playing

To time stretch a loop while it is playing requires an optional FS3X footswitch to be

connected to the footswitch jack on the rear panel of the JamMan

Stereo.

1. Begin from a stopped state.

2. Press the REC/PLAY/OVERDUB footswitch to begin playback.

3. Tap in a new tempo using the UP footswitch on the FS3X. You will hear the tempo

changes in real time. To return to the original tempo, press and hold the UP

footswitch for two seconds and the phrase will return to the original stored tempo.

Press the STORE button twice to store the changes if desired. You can play along with

the adjusted playback speed and still be in tune since the pitch does not change based

on playback speed.

NOTE: Restoring the tempo by pressing and holding the TEMPO/STOP footswitch

will also clear any newly recorded audio and overdubs.
