 NOTE: In order for the 95000 to start
recording a loop, one of the External Clock
modes needs to be selected at the time you
start playback on the MIDI Clock master.
The 95000 needs to receive a MIDI Start
command—followed by subsequent MIDI
Clock messages—for it to “know” where it
is located within MIDI Clock bars.
PRO TIP: If the loop length (in bars) is known
prior to recording the loops, create a blank
loop before you start recording with MIDI Clock.
For example, if you create a 2-bar loop with
Quantize set to ON, then that loop will always
be exactly 2-bars long. This length is always
established regardless of whether the tempo is
set internally by the 95000 or it is set to EXT.
CLOCK and is receiving MIDI Clock sync.
You can create the 2-bar loop without any MIDI
being sent to the 95000. Afterword, you can turn
on an External Clock mode and supply MIDI Clock to
the 95000. The 95000 will record/play at the
master’s tempo and the loop will always be 2 bars.
You could even make multiple loops on the
microSDHC card with different loop lengths. Loop 0
could be a 2-bar loop, Loop 1 a 4-bar loop, and so
on. If you don’t want (or need) the audio that was
recorded the last time you started with a blank
loop, just erase each track individually.
95000 as MIDI Clock Master
When EXT. CLOCK is disabled, the MIDI Clock
tempo output by the 95000 has nothing to do
with loop length and only relates to the current
tempo setting of the 95000, whether set by the
TEMPO slider or the TAP button. To use the
95000 as the MIDI Clock master:
1. Start with an empty loop number.
2. Press the EXT. CLOCK button so that its
light is off. External Clock mode is now
disabled and Internal Clock Sync mode
is enabled.
3. Press the QUANTIZE button so that it is lit.
Quantize mode is now enabled.
4. Press the RECORD footswitch. The 95000
immediately sends out a MIDI Start message
to the MIDI Clock slave and the slave begins
playing. The 95000 starts its Count-In. If
Count-In is disabled, the 95000 begins
recording immediately. We recommend
setting at least a 2-bar Count-In when
syncing MIDI to allow MIDI Clock to settle
into the correct tempo before actual
recording begins.
5. After the Count-In, the 95000 begins
recording; the MIDI Clock should be
playing along.
6. To set the loop length, press the PLAY or
RECORD footswitch during the 3rd or 4th
beat of the last bar of the loop. The 95000
will set the loop length automatically at
the end of the bar.
