8. PUNCH Button
Press the PUNCH button to enable/disable PUNCH
(“Punch-In”) mode. While recording with Punch-In
enabled, all audio previously recorded on the
active track is erased each time the loop cycles.
The Punch-In function is particularly useful for
fixing bad notes or mistakes. When Punch-In mode
is active, the PUNCH button lights green.
9. OCT Button
The OCT (Octave) button lowers the speed of the
loop by exactly one-half: the pitch will go down
one octave and the tempo will be halved. The OCT
button can be used at all times except when
recording a New Loop or when syncing to external
MIDI Clock. The OCT button lights green when the
Octave function is active.
10. REVERSE Button
Press the REVERSE button to reverse the loop’s
playback/overdub direction. Reverse can be used
at all times except when recording a New Loop.
The REVERSE button lights green when the reverse
function is active.
With EXT. CLOCK activated, if you press the
REVERSE button while the 95000 is playing or
overdubbing, the Reverse function will activate.
But the 95000 will most likely lose its place within
the bar, even though its tempo is still synchronized
to the external MIDI clock. In situations where you
want a Reverse loop to remain synchronized to the
bar, we recommend you stop loop playback, toggle
the REVERSE button, and then begin loop playback.
11. EXT. CLOCK Button
Press the EXT. CLOCK button to synchronize the
95000 with external MIDI Clock messages received
at the MIDI IN jack. With each press of the EXT.
CLOCK button, the 95000 cycles through the
following modes of synchronization:
 IN (EXT. CLOCK Button OFF): Internal Clock
Sync mode. The 95000 uses its internal clock
for loop speed. Either the TEMPO slider, TAP
button, or both set the tempo or loop speed.
This mode should be employed if the 95000 is
used on its own or is the MIDI Clock master for
a slave device.
 XT (EXT. CLOCK Button LIT): Full External
Clock mode. The 95000 is in full external clock
mode—it synchronizes to an external device’s
MIDI Clock and responds to MIDI Start, Stop and
Song Position Pointer (SPP) commands. This
mode is recommended for most situations
where the 95000 needs to synchronize to an
external device.
 BX (EXT. CLOCK Button BLINKS): Beat Sync
External Clock mode. The 95000 synchronizes
the loop tempo to an external device’s MIDI
Clock but ignores the MIDI Start command. When
a MIDI Start command is received from the MIDI
master, the 95000 follows external MIDI Clock
and resets to beat 1; but it does not begin
playback of its loop. You must press PLAY on the
95000 to start playback. Playback will start from
the beginning of the loop on the next MIDI Clock
beat received from the master device. To begin
playback of the loop on the MIDI master’s beat
1, press the PLAY footswitch just before you
hear beat 1 from the MIDI master.
12. QUANTIZE Button
The QUANTIZE button toggles between Quantize
and Non-Quantize (NQ) modes. The QUANTIZE
button lights when the 95000 is in Quantize mode.
QUANTIZE Mode Use Quantize mode to create
loops that are exact bar lengths. When you create
a New Loop in Quantize mode, there will be a
Count-In of up to 8 bars. The factory default is 1
bar; Count-In can also be disabled. After the
Count-In, the loop begins recording on beat 1.
When ending a loop, the loop length is either
extended or truncated to the nearest full bar. In
Quantize mode, you can be sloppy about ending
the loop; the 95000 adjusts the loop length to the
nearest bar to yield loops that cycle perfectly in
sync with the CLIX metronome. A bar may be 1-8
beats in length (factory default is 4). To change
the number of beats per bar:
 First select the BARS/BEATS page with the
PAGE button.
 Then press and hold the VALUE knob. The
display changes to “BAR” followed by a
blinking number. This number indicates the
number of beats in a bar.
 Rotate the VALUE knob to change the number
of beats in a bar.
 Press the VALUE knob to save the setting and exit.
NON-QUANTIZE Mode: The length of the loop is
defined by the time between pressing the RECORD
footswitch to begin recording and then pressing
the RECORD or PLAY footswitch to end the loop.
 When setting the 95000 to EXT. CLOCK mode, we
recommend you enable Quantize mode. If
Quantize is not enabled, the loop lengths will not
line up with the MIDI master device’s bar lengths.
This misalignment will cause the loops to sound
out of sync even though the loop’s tempo is
actually in sync with the MIDI Clock master.
