PLAY LEDs for LOOP A & LOOP B – If these green LEDs are lit solid for a
respective loop, the loop is playing. When both the REC and PLAY LEDs are lit for
a respective loop then the loop is overdubbing.
The PLAY LED blinks to indicate the loop is about to start or stop playing. This
occurs when the 22500 is set to Sequential mode with either Loop Lock or
Quantize enabled. In these cases the loop currently playing will finish out its loop
while PLAY blinks before changing over to the other loop. The PLAY LED also
blinks when you are about to finish out the recording of an initial loop with either
Loop Lock or Quantize enabled.
MODE/VAL Knob – The MODE/VAL knob has no pointer because it is attached
to a rotary encoder that can be continuously rotated in either direction. The
MODE/VAL knob has two functions: 1) to cycle through and choose one of the 8
available modes and 2) once a mode is chosen, to adjust the value of that mode.
When you land on any given mode, the current value of the mode is displayed in
the 4-digit display.
SELECTING MODES – The 8 selectable modes are located to the left of the
MODE/VAL knob. Each mode has an LED that, when lit solid, indicates the mode
is selected and its value is ready to be adjusted by turning the MODE/VAL knob.
If a mode LED is blinking, turning MODE/VAL allows you to scroll through all
modes.
When you arrive at the mode you would like to adjust, press and release the
MODE/VAL knob to select the mode. The mode’s LED will stop blinking and light
up solid. If more than one parameter can be adjusted on the 4-digit display, such
as in LOOP Mode, the currently selected parameter will continue to blink while
you adjust it.
REVERSE Button – Loop A and Loop B each have a REVERSE button allowing
you to enable/disable the Reverse function for each loop independently. Press
the REVERSE button and the respective loop reverses its Playback/Overdub
direction. When enabled, the REVERSE buttons glow red. Reverse can be used at
any time except when recording an initial loop.
NOTE: pressing REVERSE while a loop is synchronized to the 22500’s Rhythm
loop could put the loop out of sync with the Rhythm. In this case we recommend
you stop loop playback (Rhythm can continue to play), press REVERSE, and then
start loop playback. The reversed loop will be in sync with the Rhythm loop.
OCTAVE Button – Similar to the REVERSE buttons, Loop A and Loop B each
have an independent OCTAVE button. Each press of an OCTAVE button cycles
the respective loop’s speed through the following choices: half speed or down,
double speed or up, original speed. The OCTAVE buttons glow red when either
half speed or double speed are activated, the OCTAVE button does not illuminate
when set to original speed. Enabling half speed or double speed for a loop does
