When the REC LED is lit solid but PLAY and MEM are not lit: the respective loop
is currently recording its initial loop.
When the REC LED is lit solid while also PLAY and MEM are active: the loop is
currently overdubbing onto an established loop. Only one loop can record or
overdub at a time; Loop A and Loop B cannot simultaneously record or overdub.
One loop can record or overdub while the other plays though.
A blinking REC LED indicates one of two things:
1) You pressed a loop’s footswitch to begin recording a new loop and the loop is
not yet recording but is in Record-Ready mode. Record-Ready occurs if you have
set a Trigger threshold (see TRIGGER mode, page 21) for the loop and now the
22500 is waiting for an audio signal to exceed the threshold at which point it will
begin recording. Record-Ready also occurs when a Quantize mode (see
QUANTIZE, page 19) is enabled: after pressing a loop’s FSW to begin recording,
the 22500 waits for the next bar’s beat 1 or the next beat of the Rhythm loop
and then automatically starts recording on the beat.
2) You are about to finish recording an initial loop. When recording a quantized
loop – during the intended last bar of the loop – press the loop FSW to enter
Record-End mode. The 22500 will record out the rest of the bar while the REC
LED blinks. If you have Loop-Lock mode enabled, when recording Loop B, Loop
B’s REC LED automatically blinks to indicate it is about to stop recording Loop B.
MEM LEDs for LOOP A & LOOP B – If these orange LEDs are lit solid or
blinking, it indicates that a loop is currently in memory. A blinking MEM LED
indicates that undo or redo is available for the loop. The table below describes
the MEM LEDs four different states:
MEM LED STATE WHAT IT MEANS
OFF The respective loop is empty; it has no audio
in memory.
ON The respective loop contains audio that may
be played or overdubbed but cannot perform
Undo or Redo.
BLINKING
Rapidly
The respective loop contains audio and you
can perform an Undo function that will erase
the entire loop permanently. This state occurs
right after recording an initial loop and is a
quick way to erase the loop if you are not
satisfied with it.
BLINKING at
Medium Pace
The respective loop contains audio and an
overdub was recently performed. Both Undo
and Redo are available to remove or restore
the last overdub layer.
