Playing Loops
1. Make sure the Enable Loop Playback button is on (lit).
2. Click the desired Loop Slot button.
3. Play back the loop by clicking the Run button.
The loop in the selected Loop Slot will play back repeatedly in the tempo set on the Transport Panel. If you change
the tempo, the loop tempo will follow.
D You can also play the loop once via MIDI, by using the D0 key.
D To check out the loop(s) together with other device sequencer data and patterns already recorded, click the se-
quencer Play button.
The loops will automatically play back in perfect sync with the sequencer.
Switching playback between Loop Slots
Switching playback between loops in different Loop Slots is just like switching a Pattern in a Redrum device, for ex-
ample.
1. Activate the Enable Loop Playback button on the Dr. Octo Rex device.
2. Click the Run button - or start sequencer playback.
3. Click another Loop Slot button to switch loop.
Selecting Loop Slots that have no loops loaded will result in silence.
The Trig Next Loop function
The Trig Next Loop function determines how long Dr. Octo Rex waits after a Loop Slot button (or a key) is pressed
before it actually “gates in” or triggers the loop. This allows for different “precision” when switching between running
loops:
D Activate the Bar button to make the loops switch at the next bar of the current loop.
D Activate the Beat button to make the loops switch at the next beat of the current loop.
D Activate the 1/16 button to make the loops switch at the next 1/16th note of the current loop.
Switching Loops using Pattern Automation in the sequencer
Switching between Loop Slots can be automated, by using Pattern Automation in the main sequencer.
! When using Pattern Automation, the Trig Next Loop function described above is disregarded - the switching
between Loop Slots is instantaneous.
Refer to “Pattern automation recording details (Record+Reason)” for details about Pattern Automation.
