Creating a BOP Effect:

The Bop Effect is a stutter effect that is similar to a CD skipping. You can use this effect to create tricks in your mixing. Creating a BOP effect is a simple process:

1) Press the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON

(19) so music is playing (Figure 31).

Figure 31

2) Press the IN BUTTON (12) at the point you want your BOP to take place (Figure 32).

3) Now tap the BOP BUTTON (7). It will produce a stutter effect as quickly as you tap on the BOP BUTTON (7). See Figure 33.

Reverse Play:

Reverse play allows you to play a track, loop, or sample backwards. This function is activated by pressing the REV/PLAY BUTTON (3) as in figure 34. This function will react differently to different playback modes:

- Reverse track/disc play. In this mode the unit will playback in reverse until the reverse function is turned off. If the reverse function is not turned off the unit will continue to play the remainder of the disc in reverse mode until it reach the begging of the disc. When the unit comes to the beginning it will automatically cue to the first track. If the unit is paused in this mode it will continue to play in reverse when playback begins again.

- Reverse loop play. In this mode the loop will play in reverse once and turn off. If the reverse function is turned off at this point, the loop will continue in regular play. If the OUT/EXIT BUTTON (23) is pressed during reverse loop playback mode, playback will continue in reverse until the reverse function.
