QUANTIZE ON:
Continuing examples of Parallel Loop recording and playback,
this time with Loop B’s length locked to Loop A.
• Loop A’s length automatically sets
the length for Loop B.
• Loop A must be recorded first.
• The second digit in Loop Mode sets
the loop multiple for Loop B.
RECORD LOOP A:
1. Record Loop A as done in
Freeform—Quantize Off, on the
previous page.
RECORD LOOP B:
2. Loop B’s record start depends on
the current state of Loop A. If Loop A
is playing or overdubbing, pressing
Loop B’s FSW puts Loop B into
Record-Ready mode; Loop B begins
recording at Loop A’s cycle point. If
Loop A is recording its initial loop or
stopped, pressing Loop B’s FSW
immediately begins recording Loop B.
3. Loop B’s length is automatically
determined by Loop A’s length multi-
plied by the Loop Multiple setting, the
second digit in LOOP mode. For
example, if Loop A is 3 seconds and
the Loop Multiple is set to 2, Loop B’s
length will be 6 seconds. Loop B
automatically stops recording when it
reaches the correct loop length. Both
Loop B’s REC and PLAY LEDs blink
when it is about to stop recording.
PLAYING LOOPs A & B:
4. If you start playing one of the loops,
the other loop—though remaining
silent—will follow along. When you
start the second loop, it begins
playing immediately in sync with the
first loop, as if the second loop was
unmuted.
• Similar to Loop-Lock mode with
Quantize Off except Loop A’s length
is quantized to the nearest bar.
Again, Loop A must be recorded first.
RECORD LOOP A:
1. Ensure the RHYTHM button is lit.
Start the Rhythm Loop by pressing
the STOP/TAP FSW.
2. Record Loop A as done in
Freeform—Quantize On, on the
previous page.
RECORD LOOP B:
3. While Loop A is playing, overdub-
bing, recording or stopped, press
Loop B’s FSW to put B into record-
ready mode; Loop B’s REC LED
blinks. Loop B begins recording on
the next bar’s beat 1. If Loop A is
recording its initial loop when you
press B’s FSW, Loop A continues to
record until the current bar finishes.
4. Loop B’s length is automatically
determined by Loop A’s length
multiplied by the Loop Multiple setting,
the second digit in LOOP mode. For
example, if Loop A is 2 bars and the
Loop Multiple is set to 2, Loop B’s
length will be 4 bars. Loop B automat-
ically stops recording when it reaches
the correct loop length.
PLAYING LOOPs A & B:
5. If the Rhythm loop is playing, Loops
A and B start playback on the first
beat 1 after pressing their respective
footswitches. If no Rhythm loop is
playing then Loop A and B play back
in the same way as with Quantize Off.
